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
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" position
each time the vehicle is started.Compass Function
The Compass can be turned ON and OFF
and will remember the last state when the
ignition is cycled. To turn the display
feature ON/OFF:
1. Press and release the
button to turn
the display feature OFF.
2. Press and release the button again
to turn the display back ON.
Additional options can be set with press
and hold sequences of the button and
are detailed below.
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.).

FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI

To adjust the Zone setting:
1. Determine the desired Zone Number
based upon your current location on the
Zone Map.
2. Press and hold the
button for more
than 3 but less than 6 seconds, the
current Zone Number will appear on the
display.
3. Pressing and holding the
button again
will cause the numbers to increment (Note:
they will repeat …13, 14, 15, 1, 2, …).
Releasing the button when the desired
Zone Number appears on the display will
set the new Zone.
4. Within about 5 seconds the compass will
start displaying a compass heading 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:
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).

Integrated HomeLink
® Wireless
Control System
The HomeLink
® Wireless Control System
provides a convenient way to replace up to
three hand-held radio-frequency (RF)
transmitters with a single built-in device.
This innovative feature will learn the radio
frequency codes of most current
transmitters to operate devices such as
gate operators, garage door openers, entry
door locks, security systems, even home
lighting. Both standard and rolling code-
equipped transmitters can be programmed
by following the outlined procedures.
Additional HomeLink
® information can be
found at: www.homelink.com or by calling
1-800-355-3515.
CAUTION:
Before programming HomeLink
® to a
garage door opener or gate operator,
make sure that people and objects are
out of the way of the device to prevent
potential harm or damage. Do not use
HomeLink
® with any garage door opener
that lacks the safety stop and reverse
features as required by U.S. federal
safety standards (this includes any
garage door opener model manufactured
before April 1, 1982). A garage door that
cannot detect an object - signaling the
door to stop and reverse - does not meet
current U.S. federal safety standards.
Using a garage door opener without these
features increases the risk of serious
injury or death.Programming HomeLink
®
NOTE:o When programming a garage door
opener, it is advised to park the vehicle
outside of the garage.
o It is recommended that a new battery
be placed in the hand-held transmitter
of the device being programmed to
HomeLink
® for quicker training and
accurate transmission of the radio-
frequency signal.
o Some vehicles may require the ignition
switch to be turned to the second (or
"accessories") position for program-
ming and/or operation of HomeLink.
o In the event that there are still pro-
gramming difficulties or questions
after following the programming steps
listed below, contact HomeLink
® at:
www.homelink.com or 1-800-355-
3515.
Retain the original transmitter of the RF
device you are programming for use in
other vehicles as well as for future
HomeLink
® programming. It is also
suggested that upon the sale of the vehicle,
the programmed HomeLink
® buttons be
erased for security purposes.

Standard Programming
To train most devices, follow these
instructions:
1. For first-time programming, press and
hold the two outside buttons, HomeLink
®
Channel 1 and Channel 3 Buttons, until
the indicator light begins to flash (after
20 seconds). Release both buttons. Do
not hold the buttons for longer than 30
seconds.
2. Position the end of your hand-held trans-
mitter 1-3 inches (2-8 cm) away from the
HomeLink
® buttons while keeping the
indicator light in view.
3. Simultaneously press and hold both
the HomeLink
® and hand-held
transmitter button. DO NOT release the
buttons until step 4 has been completed.
4. While continuing to hold the buttons the
red Indicator Status LED will flash slowly
and then rapidly after HomeLink
®
successfully trains to the frequency
signal from the hand-held transmitter.
Release both buttons.
5. Press and hold the just-trained
HomeLink
® button and observe the red
Status Indicator LED. If the indicator
light stays on constantly, programming
is complete and your device should
activate when the HomeLink
® button is
pressed and released.
6. To program the remaining two
HomeLink
® buttons, follow steps 2
through 5.Rolling Code Programming
Rolling code devices which are "code-
protected" and manufactured after 1996
may be determined by the following:
o Reference the device owner's manual
for verification.
o The handheld transmitter appears to
program the HomeLink Universal
Transceiver but does not activate the
device.
o Press and hold the trained HomeLink
button. The device has the rolling code
feature if the indicator light flashes rapidly
and then turns solid after 2 seconds.
To train rolling code devices, follow these
instructions:
1. At the garage door opener receiver
(motor-head unit) in the garage, locate
the "learn" or "smart" button. This can
usually be found where the hanging
antenna wire is attached to the motor-
head unit. Exact location and color of
the button may vary by garage door
opener brand. If there is difficulty
locating the training button, reference
the device owner's manual or please
visit our Web site at www.homelink.com.
2. Firmly press and release the "learn" or
"smart" button (which activates the
"training light").
NOTE:There are 30 seconds in which to initiate
step3.
3. Return to the vehicle and firmly press,
hold for two seconds and then release
the desired HomeLink
® button. Repeat
the "press/hold/release" sequence a
second time to complete the
programming. (Some devices may
require you to repeat this sequence a
third time to complete the programming.)
4. Press and hold the just-trained
HomeLink
® button and observe the red
Status Indicator LED. If the indicator
light stays on constantly, programming
is complete and your device should
activate.
5. To program the remaining two
HomeLink® buttons, follow either steps
1 through 4 above for other Rolling
Code devices or steps 2 through 5 in
Standard Programming for standard
devices.

brake is fully released and the indicator
light is off.
WARNING:
Whenever leaving vehicle or parking
always set the parking brake as far as
