Automatic-Dimming

The Auto-Dimming Rearview 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 this feature and other applications, please
refer to the Gentex website: www.gentex.com.

Precautions

The Auto-Dimming Rearview 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.

Automatic-Dimming Function

To protect your vision during nighttime driving, your mirror will automatically dim upon
detecting glare from the vehicles traveling behind you. The auto-dimming function can
be controlled by the Dimming ON/OFF Button:

1. Pressing the

button turns the auto-dimming function OFF which is indicated by

the green Status Indicator LED turning off.

2. Pressing the button again turns the auto-dimming function ON which is indicated

by the green Status Indicator LED turning on.

Note:

The mirror defaults to the "ON" state each time the vehicle is started.
