How To Use The Head-Up Display In The 2020 Buick Encore GX: Video
Sponsored Links
The 2020 Buick Encore GX is an all-new addition to the Buick lineup and it thus features a number of new technologies that some buyers may not be familiar with. To help these new owners out, the automaker recently released a number of helpful how-to videos explaining how to use and take advantage of the various features on offer in the new compact premium crossover – the latest of which covers the head-up display.
This piece of technology used to be limited to expensive luxury cars, but not anymore. The 2020 Buick Encore GX may start at well under $30,000, but it is available with a head-up display as part of the $1,935 Advanced Technology Package. Buyers who tick the box for this package will also receive an eight-inch Buick infotainment system with navigation, camera-based adaptive cruise control, rear park assist and HD surround vision, but let’s stay focused on the head-up display for now.
If equipped, the head-up display controls in the 2020 Buick Encore GX will be located on the switch panel to the left of the driver. Pressing and holding the middle switch upward will open the head-up display screen, while pressing it down will allow flipping through the various display options, which include vehicle speed, engine speed, audio/phone information and navigation directions. The height/location of the display information can also be adjusted on the screen with the ‘HUD’ tab located furthest to the left, while the switch closest to the driver controls the display brightness.
GM makes a point to tell owners to never open or close the head-up display screen with their hands and to always use the switch located to the left of the driver, though we’re sure many readers already know this.
Check out the video embedded just below for more direct instructions on how to operate and adjust the head-up display in the 2020 Buick Encore GX.

I’ve been a diehard Chevy owner for over thirty years. From a full size blazer and then to an S10 blazer. The first had a 2.8 and the second a 4.3, that I drove for almost 350k miles. The vehicles look better today but I am concerned about the future of GM; placing 1.6 liter motors in vehicles, the vehicles sound horrible and have deplorable power.
I am being turned away from Chevy because of the dumb power train decisions. I recently bought a 2016 Equinox for my wife, why? AWD 3.6 power train! When this car has seen its last mile, I’ll be forced to go to a manufacturer that’s in touch with its buyers. Stop reinventing the wheel, upgrade the 3.6 and make a vehicle that compares to the M6 versions or the SQ5, don’t be naive to think the Cadillac brand is the solution. Make a Chevy that kicks butt! Impala could have been saved with an AWD, brembo brakes, and a 3.6 turbo. It’s not that difficult.
What I find amazing is I had a better implementation of the HUD in my 2005 park avenue that also had rain sensing wipers. How is it over 15 years later and now we get a cheap piece of plastic coming out of the dash that pretends to be a HUD and yet still no rain sensing wipers. Or any of the other small touches that used to impress me. Now all we get are cuvs that all look the same and technology that’s being billed as “luxury”. Even the seats that used to be like sitting on a couch appear to be after thoughts. I’ve never owned anything but Buick, but the loss of every sedan and now little things like this are pushing me so far away I can’t think of a Buick I would want to own now that’s still in production. I’m 31, not 75. Perhaps GM should be thinking of me still when designing vehicles.
The first automotive HUD I saw was in a Buick Rendevoux. Was that considered an “expensive luxury car”?
What did I miss something, one must turn the thing on every time you get in your car.!?W T F , I want it on all the time!!!!
This article is full of bs information. HUDs were first available in the Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme in 1988 as well as the Pontiac Grand Prix. Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme’s in the early 90’s, as well as Pontiac Bonneville’s and Grand Prix’s also had HUD through the demise of each of these models. None, I repeat NONE of these I mentioned were high priced OR luxury cars. Why are you all making it sound like this is a new thing ever before seen in a non-luxury car? Do your research before write an article. Geez
I cant figure GM out anymore . This HUD is something you would find in a Mazda . GM can dobetter , even way back in 1994 my Pontiac GP had an excellent unit and later in my Buick Renevous which in the da was not a luxury car but a MPV { Multi-Purpose Vehicle } . Just another bean counter decision which is killing GM’s reputation . All the General is doing is making appliances anymore , and soon they will want us to trust their electric cars . No Thank You .
I’m just going to act like I didn’t just see a pop up screen HUD in a 2020 model from GM!
New technology! I guess when your paid 12 bucks an article this is the kind of 33 year old info you get.
Just saw a 2020 Buick Encore commercial and what they were promoting was a self-parking program option that was available; maybe a video for the self-parking option is in order.
The HUD article is a joke, correct? This simple technology should be standard equipment on all cars especially on Tesla’s with that goofy center dash iPad display of theirs. I wonder how many accidents have been caused by distracted drivers trying to turn the heat or air (or whatever) on while driving? This applies to all cars whose manufactures are trying to save a few cents by eliminating manual switches.
