On 2017 Volkswagen Tiguan vehicles, you can activate the Head-up display. This device projects images or other information onto a small transparent hard plastic display through an optical collider.

Its purpose is to avoid distractions while driving, as the display is located just above the steering wheel and, being completely transparent, allows important images to pass through to the driver's eyes without the need to look down. To activate the HUD display on the Tiguan, simply press the button located next to the headlight operation selector.
