Automatic-Dimming Night Vision
Safety™ (NVS®) Mirror
The NVS®Mirror in your vehicle is
the most advanced mirror to reduce
annoying glare in the rearview mirror
in any driving situation. For more
information regarding NVS
®mirrors
and other applications, please visit
the Gentex website:
www.gentex.com
The NVS
®Mirror automatically
dims glare in driving conditions
based upon light levels detected
in front of the vehicle and from the
rear of the vehicle. These light
sensors are visible through open-
ings in the front and rear of the
mirror case. Any object that
obstructs either light sensor will
degrade the automatic dimming
control function.
Automatic-dimming function
Your mirror automatically dims the
glare upon detecting it from the vehi-
cles traveling behind you. The auto-
matic-dimming function can be con-
trolled by the Dimming ON/OFF
Button:
1. Pressing and hold the button for 3 seconds turns OFF the automat-
ic-dimming function, which is indi-
cated by the turned-OFF green
light of the Status Indicator LED.
2. Pressing and hold the button for 3 seconds again turns ON the
automatic-dimming function which
is indicated by the turned-ON
green light of the Status Indicator
LED.

The NVS™ Mirror in your vehicle is
also equipped with a Z-Nav™
Compass that shows the vehicle
Compass heading on the Display
Window in the 8 cardinals headings

pressing and holding buttons in
sequences, as detailed below.
There is a difference between the
magnetic north and the actual north.
The compass in the mirror can offset
this difference by knowing the

ing. 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 next page.

Electric chromic mirror (ECM) (if equipped)
The electric chromic mirror automat-
ically controls the glare from the
headlamps of the vehicles behind
during the night time or low light driv-
ing conditions. The sensor mounted
in the mirror senses the light level
around the vehicle, and automatical-
ly controls the headlamp glare from
following vehicles.
When the engine is running, the
glare is automatically controlled by
the sensor mounted in the rearview
mirror.
Whenever the shift lever is in R
(Reverse), the mirror automatically
sets to be in the brightest mode in
order to improve the driver's
rearview. When the ECM inside the
rear view mirror operates, it will oper-
ate.
When cleaning the mirror, use a
paper towel or clean cloth damp-
ened with glass cleaner. Do not
spray glass cleaner directly on the
mirror as that may cause the liq-
uid cleaner to enter the mirror
housing.
Reverse Parking Aid Function
When you set the shift lever in R
(Reverse), the outside rearview mir-
ror(s) will slightly rotate downwards
to aid the driver to drive backwards.
The position of the outside rearview
mirror switch (1) determines whether
or not the mirrors will move:
Left/Right: When either the L or R
switch is selected, both
outside rearview mirrors
will move.
Neutral: When neither of the switch-
es is selected, the outside
rearview mirrors will not
move.
The outside rearview mirrors will
automatically reset to their default
positions, when one of the followings
occurs:
The Engine Start/Stop Button is pressed to either the OFF position
or the ACC position.
