Abstract
In at least some implementations, a vehicle has a windshield, a display transmitter having an output through which light is emitted onto at least part of the windshield, a sensor responsive to the one or both of a position of the windshield and the presence of a reflective surface associated with the windshield and onto which light is emitted from the display transmitter, and a controller. The controller is coupled to the display transmitter and is operable to change a mode of the display transmitter when the sensor does not detect the windshield in a home position or when the sensor does not detect the presence of the reflective surface.
