ZEELAND, Mich., Nov. 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Gentex Corporation,
the leading supplier of automatic-dimming rearview mirrors to the worldwide
automotive industry, announced today that it has begun shipping
auto-dimming mirrors for the 2007 Mitsubishi Galant.
Gentex auto-dimming mirrors automatically darken to reduce glare from
the headlamps of vehicles approaching from the rear. The brighter the
glare, the darker the mirrors become, making nighttime driving safer.
The Galant sedan offers a Gentex automatic-dimming mirror with a fully
integrated Johnson Controls' HomeLink(R) Wireless Control System. Three
buttons conveniently located on the face of the mirror can be programmed to
operate garage doors, estate gates, security systems, home lighting, and
other radio-frequency-controlled devices. In the North American market, the
mirror is standard on the Ralliart model and is also available in option
packages on the ES and GTS trim levels. A base interior mirror is available
on those models being sold in Russia.
"The combination of a Gentex auto-dimming interior mirror and Johnson
Controls' HomeLink system continues to be a very popular feature.
Mitsubishi recognized this trend and adopted the technology for the new
Galant," said Gentex Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer
Enoch Jen.
Founded in 1974, Gentex Corporation (Nasdaq: GNTX) is an international
company that provides high-quality products to the worldwide automotive
