CHECK YOUR CAR2025 Zeekr 7X · Europe English online manual · Long Range RWD reference

Checked against the official European English MY2025 7X online manual on 27 October 2026. China-market apps, hardware and OTA versions differ. Match your car’s display and equipment; the Chinese report supplies context, while the manufacturer manual supplies the procedure.

THE QUICK ANSWER

Open Vehicle → Basic → Head-up display or HUD Adjustment in the swipe-down menu. Use the right steering-wheel buttons for brightness and its scroll wheel for projection position.

Chinese owner report: context, not a diagnosis

The owner reports mirror settings being lost after an update and difficulty reading the HUD in reflections. This is an individual report or discussion, not evidence of a widespread defect. The checks below concern the European export car; they do not establish what caused the Chinese owner’s symptom.

Before you start

Park before making changes. The projection must remain readable without obscuring your view of people, vehicles or the road.

Follow the export-car controls

1Open the HUD editorUse the car-settings menu → Vehicle → Basic → Head-up display, or select HUD Adjustment in the swipe-down menu.
2Set brightness and positionUse the left/right buttons on the right steering-wheel control to change brightness; scroll up/down to change the position.
3Check reflections and eyewearPolarised sunglasses can reduce visibility. The manual also offers snow mode, changing white information to orange for highly reflective conditions.

Tick steps as you go. Your progress stays in this tab.

Check the result

Look through the windscreen and confirm that the projection is comfortably positioned without masking the scene ahead. HUD settings are stored with mirror and seat positions. Keep the projector area clear and do not stare at the projection while driving.

Common questions

Does a bright setting solve every visibility issue?+

No. Position, reflections and polarised eyewear can still affect visibility; a persistent fault needs assessment.

Can I adjust the HUD on the move?+

The manufacturer specifically warns against adjusting it while driving. Make the change when parked.
