Aspects of this disclosure relate to side-view mirror assemblies in vehicles and associated mirror controllers. A side-view mirror assembly may be configured with mirror tilt, power extend/retract, and power fold/unfold functionalities that may be electronically controllable via a mirror controller. The mirror controller may be interfaced with a tilt control switch and the side-view mirror assembly. The mirror controller may be configured to receive commands, via the mirror tilt control switch, and activate and/or deactivate the power extend/retract and power fold/unfold functionalities. Based on activation of the power extend/retract and power fold/unfold functionalities, the mirror tilt control switch may be used to cause extension, retraction, folding, and/or unfolding of a side-view mirror.

The invention relates to an adjusting instrument for an exterior vision unit for a vehicle, comprising a base shaft and a housing surrounding the base shaft which is pivotable around a longitudinal axis adjustment range between at least a park position and a drive position. The adjusting instrument further comprises a driving gearwheel, a gearwheel body, and a spring. The driving gearwheel includes a face provided with an outer toothing surrounding the base shaft, defining a face height within which a web part of the gearwheel body extends in a transverse plane with respect to the base shaft. The spring surrounds the base shaft and is supported on a support surface of the gearwheel body, exerting a force on the driving gearwheel along the longitudinal axis. The support surface lies recessed in an axial direction with respect to the transverse plane, such that the spring reaches through the transverse plane.

A vehicle door mirror is provided in which a base member is mounted on a side door while having a plurality of mounting holes and a plurality of insertion holes coaxially communicating with the mounting holes, a mirror housing is pivotably supported on a support shaft which has a plurality of bosses having a tubular portion and a rib extending along an axis of the tubular portion and being plurally projectingly provided on the tubular portion, and a screw member inserted through the insertion hole is screwed into the tubular portion of the boss inserted into the mounting hole so that the rib abuts against the mounting hole, wherein the rib is projectingly provided on the outer peripheral face, at least on a base part side, of the tubular portion. Such arrangement suppresses vibration of the mirror even when the support shaft is made of a synthetic resin.

A motor vehicle having an external rearview mirror includes a mirror drive assigned to the external rearview mirror, by which the external rearview mirror can be moved into a first mirror position or into a second mirror position, at least one display unit that can be viewed by the driver of the motor vehicle, and a camera directed at the rearward vehicle surroundings, which camera supplies an image signal on which an image of the surroundings is based that can be displayed by the display unit. A vehicle speed sensor and a control unit are provided by which the mirror drive can be controlled as a function of the driving speed such that the external rearview mirror is moved from the first mirror position into the second mirror position.

In a vehicular door mirror device, a main body section of a motor is supported by an assembly tube of a case in a horizontal direction, and a gear plate is supported by a support tube of the case in the horizontal direction. Therefore, dimensional variation in the horizontal direction between central axis lines of an output shaft of the motor and the gear plate can be suppressed, and variation in meshing amount of a worm gear of the output shaft and the gear plate, and a worm shaft, can be suppressed.
