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.
!
Automatic-Dimming Function
Your mirror will automatically dim upon detect-
ing 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-dim-
ming 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" position
each time the vehicle is started.Compass Function

will remember the last state when the ignition is
cycled. To turn the display feature ON/OFF:

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

B740C01NF-A
B740D02Y-AATOperation Tipso If the interior of the car is hot when you first
get in, open the windows for a few minutes
to expel the hot air.
o When you are using the air conditioning
system, keep all windows closed to keep hot
air out.
o When moving slowly, as in heavy traffic, shift
to a lower gear. This increases engine speed,
which in turn increases the speed of the air
conditioning compressor.
o On steep grades, turn the air conditioning off
to avoid the possibility of the engine over-
heating.
o During winter months or in periods when the
air conditioning is not used regularly, run the
air conditioning once every month for a few
minutes. This will help circulate the lubri-
cants and keep your system in peak oper-
ating condition.
