Make sure that your sight is not
obstructed. Do not pile up
objects on a rear seat, in a
trunk, or behind a head
restraint, which may interfere
with your vision through the
rear window.
WARNING
To prevent serious injury during
an accident or deployment of
the air bag, do not modify the
rearview mirror and do not
install a wide mirror.
WARNING
NEVER adjust the mirror while
driving. This may cause loss of
vehicle control resulting in an
accident.
WARNING

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
Information
The NVS®Mirror automatically
reduces glare while driving based
upon light levels detected 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
obstructs either light sensor will
degrade the automatic dimming con-
trol 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 holding the button for 3 seconds turns OFF the
automatic-dimming function,
which is indicated by the turned-
OFF green light of the Status
Indicator LED.
2. Re-pressing and holding the button for 3 seconds turns ON the
automatic-dimming function which
is indicated by the turned-ON
green light of the Status Indicator
LED.
The mirror defaults to the ON posi-
tion 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 button within 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.
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.

Smooth cornering
Avoid braking or shifting a gear on a
corner, especially when a road sur-
face is wet. It is ideal to drive a cor-
ner by gently accelerating. When you
take this suggestion, the tire wear-
out will be minimized.
Driving at night
Since night-time driving is more haz-
ardous than day-time driving, here
are some important tips to remem-
ber:
Slow down a driving speed andkeep a longer safe distance from a
vehicle in front, as it may be hard-
er to see at night, especially in
areas without any street lights.
Adjust your mirror angle to reduce glares from the headlamps of other
vehicles.
Keep your headlamps clean and properly aimed at. Any foreign sub-
stances on a headlamp and an
improperly adjusted headlamp
angle make it much harder to see
at night. Turning the headlamp ON,
while operating windshield wipers,
is mandatory in some states.
Avoid directly staring at the head- lamps of approaching vehicles.
This may temporarily blind your
vision, and take several seconds
for your eyes to readjust in the
darkness.
