The AV 1000, a mirror cleaning system from Air Vizion, will remove water droplets from side mirrors at the push of a button by delivering a burst of compressed air. The system is flexible and easy to install, and taps into the vehicle’s secondary compressed air system. The system was developed to improve driver visibility, especially when changing lanes or backing up. The air release switch can be mounted in the dash, or an in-cab location more suitable to the operator. For further information, visit www.airvizion.com.
