Abstract
An opening in a vehicle dash pad allows a HUD reflecting element or mirror to be retracted into the dashboard when not in use. A cover panel hinged to the dash pad supports the mirror and closes the opening when retracted. The panel is joined to a gear arrangement which is controlled by a motor for moving the panel and mirror between storage and operating positions. The mirror is coupled to the panel by a ball joint and the mirror is adjusted about two tilt axes by motor-driven cams for positioning the HUD image in the view of the operator.
