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 the button with the •. The indicator light will turn off to

indicate that the automatic dimming feature is off.

To turn the automatic dimming feature on, press the button with the . 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.

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
HomeLink web site at www.homelink.jci.com.

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 safety 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 safety standards. Using a garage door opener without these
features increases risk of serious injury or death. For more information, call
1-800-355-3515 or on the internet at www.homelink.jci.com.

Retain the original transmitter for future programming procedures (i.e., new vehicle
purchase). It is also 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).
