Automatic-Dimm ing N ig ht Vision Safety
The NVS Mirror in your vehicle is the most advanced way to eliminate dangerous and
annoying glare in the rearview mirror during any driving situation. For more information
regarding NVS mirrors and other applications, please refer to the Gentex website –

Precautions
The NVS Mirror automatically reduces glare during driving conditions based upon light levels
monitored in front of the vehicle and from the rear of the vehicle. These light sensors are visible
through openings in the front and rear of the mirror case. Any object that would obstruct either
light sensor will degrade the automatic dimming control feature.
Operation
The NVS Mirror operates automatically whenever the vehicle ignition is ON. The status of the
automatic dimming feature is indicated by a green light on the face of the mirror.
To turn the automatic dimming feature off, press the button with the
light will turn off to indicate that the automatic dimming feature is off.

about 5 seconds the compass will start displaying a compass direction again.
There are some conditions that can cause changes to the vehicle magnets. Items such as
installing a ski rack or a CB antenna or even some body repair work on the vehicle can cause
changes to the vehicle's magnetic field. In these situations, the compass will need to be recalibrated to quickly correct for these changes. To re-calibrate the compass, press and hold the
button for more than 6 seconds. When the compass memory is cleared a “C” will appear in
the display. To calibrate the compass, drive the vehicle is 3 complete circles at less than five
mph.

Precautions
When programming the HomeLink Universal Transceiver to a garage door opener or entry
gate, make sure that people and objects are out of the way to prevent potential harm or
damage.
Do not use the HomeLink Universal Transceiver with any garage door opener that
lacks the safety stop and reverse feature as required by federal sa fety standards. (This
includes any garage door opener model manufactured before April 1, 1982.) A garage
door opener which cannot detect an object, signaling the door to stop and reverse, does
not meet current federal sa fety standards. Using a garage door opener without these
features increases risk of serious injury or death. For more information, call
1-800-355-3515
Retain the original transmitter for future programming procedures (i.e . , new vehicle
purchase). It is als o suggested that upon the sale of the vehicle, the programmed
HomeLink Universal Transceiver buttons be erased for security purposes (follow step
1 in the “Programming” portion of this text).

Continue to press and hold the desired HomeLink button (note steps 3 through 5 in the “Programming” portion of this
text) while you “cycle” your hand-held transmitter until the frequency signal has been learned. The indicator light will
flash slowly and then rapidly upon successful training.
