Automatic-Dimming Night Vision
Safety™ (NVS
®) Mirror
The NVS
® Mirror in your vehicle is the most
advanced way to reduce 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.
CAUTION:
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.

ing glare from the vehicles traveling behind you.

There is a difference between magnetic north
and true north. The compass in the mirror can
compensate for this difference when it knows
the Magnetic Zone in which it is operating. This
is set either by the dealer or by the user. The
operating Zone Numbers for North America are
shown in the figure on the following section.
Z-Nav™ Compass DisplayThe NVS™ Mirror in your vehicle is also
equipped with a Z-Nav™ Compass that shows
the vehicle Compass heading in the Display
Window using the 8 basic cardinal headings (N,
NE, E, SE, etc.).

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:
1. Press and hold the button for more than
6 seconds. When the compass memory is
cleared a "C" will appear in the display.
2. To calibrate the compass, drive the vehicle
in 2 complete circles at less than 5 MPH (8
Km/h).
