Automatic-Dimming Night Vision Safety  (NVS) Mirror

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 – www.gentex.com .

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 and hold the button with the symbol for more

than 9 seconds but less than 12 seconds. The indicator light will turn off to indicate that the automatic
dimming feature is off.

To turn the automatic dimming feature on, press and hold the button with the symbol for more

than 9 seconds but less than 12 seconds again. The indicator light will also turn on.

If the automatic dimming feature is off when the vehicle ignition is turned off, the automatic dimming
feature will become active when the vehicle ignition is turned back on.

Electronic Compass and Outside Temperature Display

The NVS Mirror in your vehicle is also equipped with a display the shows the vehicle heading using
the 8 basic cardinal headings (N, NE, E, SE, etc.). This NVS Mirror also includes a display of the
outside temperature. For more information regarding these features in the NVS mirrors, please refer
to the Gentex website – www.gentex.com .

Electronic Compass with Outside Temperature Mirror Operation

The Compass and Outside Temperature display operates automatically whenever the vehicle ignition is
ON. To turn the display feature off, press the button with the symbol. To turn the display

feature on, press the button with the symbol again.

If the compass and outside temperature display feature is off when the vehicle ignition is turned off, the
display feature will turn on again when the vehicle ignition is turned back on.

To adjust the outside temperature units (°F or °C) setting press and hold the button for more
than 3 seconds. The °F (or °C) will start flashing. Press the button until the correct units are

displayed. Wait a few seconds and the mirror will display the current and compass heading and the
outside temperature using the selected units.

There is a difference between magnetic north and true north. The compass in the mirror can
compensate for this difference when it knows what region in which it is operating. This is set either by
the dealer or by the user. These operating regions or zones for the continental United States are shown
in the figure below.

To adjust the zone setting press and hold the button with the symbol for more than 12

seconds. Determine the appropriate zone number based upon your current location and the map

provided above. Press and hold the button until the new zone setting appears on the display

(note: the numbers will repeat, …13, 14, 15, 1, 2, …). Release the button and within 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 re-calibrated to quickly correct for these

changes. To re-calibrate the compass, press and hold the button for more than 15 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.

To adjust the zone setting press and hold the button with the symbol for more than 3 seconds.

LED Light Operation

The LED lights in the bottom of the mirror provide interior lighting under a variety of different
circumstances. In most cases, the LED lights are controlled by the same vehicle control module that
operates the other interior lights of the vehicle. However, these LED lights can also be controlled by the
operator by simply pressing the button. These lights are operational when the vehicle is ON or
OFF (please note that there may be a slight delay when turning the LED lights on while the vehicle is
OFF).

HomeLink® Universal Transceiver

The HomeLink® Universal Transceiver included in your NVS Mirror with Homelink® provides a
convenient way to replace up to three hand-held transmitters with a single built -in component. This innovative
feature will learn the radio frequency codes of most current transmitters used to activate devices such as
garage doors, entry door locks, estate gates, security systems, and home or office lighting. For additional
information on HomeLink and/or HomeLink compatible products, call 1-800-355-3515 or refer to the
