CAUTION
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.
Information
The mirror resets to be ON whenever
the vehicle is started.
Z-Nav™ Compass Display
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
(N, NE, E, SE, etc.).
Compass function
The Compass can be turned
ON/OFF and remember the last
heading information when the igni-
tion is cycled. To turn ON/OFF the
display function:
1. Press and release the buttonwithin 1 second to turn OFF the
display function.
2. Press and release the button again within 1 second to turn ON
the display back.
Additional options can be set by
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
Magnetic Zone in which it is operat-
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.
The shift lever is not in R(Reverse).
The outside rearview mirror switch is not selected.

The parking assist system helps the
driver in parking the vehicle by beep-
ing the buzzer, when any object is
sensed within 39 in (100 cm) from a
vehicle in front or 47 in (120 cm) from
a vehicle behind.
This system is a supplemental sys-
tem, which is not designed to be and
cannot be replaced with driver's
extreme care and attention.
The sensing range and detectable
objects by the sensor is limited.
Whenever parking the vehicle, pay
as much attention to what is in front
of and behind your vehicle, as you
would drive without a parking assist
system.

The parking assist system
should be considered only as a
supplementary function. The
driver must check the front and
rear views. The operational func-
tion of the parking assist system
can be affected by many factors
and surrounding conditions, so
the responsibility should always
be held by the driver.

Inoperable conditions of the
Parking Assist System
The Parking Assist System maynot properly operate, when:
1. Moisture is frozen over the sensor.
(It will operate normally again
when the frozen ice melts.)
2. The sensor is covered or blocked with foreign substances, such as
snow or water. (It will normally
operate again when the substance
is removed, and the sensor is no
longer blocked.)
3. The sensor is stained with foreign substances such as snow or
water. (The sensing range will
return to normal when foreign sub-
stances are removed.)
There is a possible malfunctionwith the Parking Assist Systemwhen:
1. The vehicle drives on uneven road
surfaces such as unpaved roads,
gravels, bumps, or slopes.
2. The sensor is interfered with objects, which generate excessive
noise, such as horns, motorcycle
engines, or truck air brakes.
3. Heavy rain or water is sprayed.
4. Wireless transmitters or mobile phones are near the sensor.
5. The sensor is covered with snow.
Detecting range may decrease when:
1. Outside air temperature is
extremely hot or cold.
2. The sensor cannot detect an object, as it is smaller than 39 in (1
m) or narrower than 5.5 in (14 cm)
in diameter.
The following objects may notbe recognized by the sensor:
1. A sharp or slim object, such as
ropes, chains or small poles.
2. An object, such as clothes, spongy material or snow, absorbs the sen-
sor frequency.
Information
1. The warning may not soundsequentially depending on the speed
and shapes of the objects detected.
2. The Parking Assist System may malfunction if the vehicle bumper
height or sensor installation is mod-
ified. Any unauthorized installment
of equipment or accessories may
also limit the sensor performance.
3. Sensor may not recognize objects within 12 in (30 cm), or it may mis-
calculate the distance.
4. When the sensor is frozen or stained with snow or water, the sensor may
be inoperative until the stains are
removed using a soft cloth.
5. Do not push, scratch or strike the sensor with any hard objects that
could damage the sensor surface.
This may damage the sensor.

Information
This system can only sense objects
within the certain range and location.
it cannot detect objects in other areas
where sensors are not installed. Also,
the sensor may not detect small and
slim objects, or objects located in
blind spots between sensors.
Always check the presence of any
objects in front of or behind the vehi-
cle with your eyes when parking.
Make sure to inform these system
capabilities and limitations to any
drivers of this vehicle who may be
unfamiliar with the system.
Self-diagnosis
If you do not hear an audible warning
sound or if the buzzer sounds inter-
mittently when shifting the gear to
the R (Reverse) position, this may
indicate a malfunction with the rear
Parking Assist System. In this case,
have your vehicle checked by an
authorized EQUUS dealer as soon
as possible.
i
3-106
Convenient features of your vehiclePay close attention when the
vehicle is driven close to
objects on the road, particularly
pedestrians, and especially
children. Be aware that some
objects may not be detected by
the sensors, due to the object
distance, size or material, all of
which can limit the effective-
ness of the sensor. Always
make sure that the vehicle
stands clear of all objects with
your eyes before moving the
vehicle in any direction.
WARNING
Your new vehicle warranty does
not cover any accidents or dam-
age to the vehicle or injuries to
its occupants related to the
Parking Assist System. Always
drive safely and cautiously.
