    摘要: A vehicular exterior rearview mirror assembly includes a mirror head adjustably mounted at a mounting arm via a link that pivotally attaches at one end to the mirror head and pivotally attaches at another end to the mounting arm. With the mounting arm attached at the side of a vehicle, the mirror head is adjustable relative to the mounting arm between a retracted position and an extended position. An adjustment mechanism is operable to adjust the mirror head relative to the mounting arm and includes an electrically operated motor that operates to pivotally adjust the link, which swings the mirror head along an arcuate path. When the motor is operated to pivotally adjust the link to adjust the mirror head relative to the mounting arm, an angle of the mirror head relative to the side of the vehicle at which the vehicular exterior rearview mirror assembly is attached is also adjusted.

    摘要: A vehicular visual recognition control device including an in-out motor configured to change a visual recognition range of vehicle surroundings for an occupant, sensors (a vehicle speed sensor, turning switches, and a steering angle sensor) configured to detect conditions for changing including a start condition to start changing the visual recognition range and a reversion condition to revert to the original visual recognition range prior to changing, and an ECU. When the condition for changing has been detected in the detection results of the sensors, the ECU controls the in-out motor according to the detected condition for changing. When an intent of the occupant is detected from at least one of a change amount of vehicle speed or a change amount of steering angle, the ECU controls the in-out motor according to the detected intent of the occupant, unrelated to the condition for changing.

    摘要: An exterior rearview mirror assembly for a vehicle includes a mirror head adjustably mounted at a mounting arm and adjustable between a retracted position and an extended position. The mirror reflective element is oriented to provide a driver of the vehicle a field of view rearward and sideward of the vehicle with the mounting arm attached at the side of the vehicle when the mirror head is in the retracted position and when the mirror head is in the extended position. The mirror head is connected to the mounting arm via pivotable first and second links that cooperatively pivot relative to the mounting arm and the mirror head to move the mirror head between the retracted and extended positions. An actuator is disposed at an end of the first link and operates to pivot the first link to move the mirror head between the retracted position and the extended position.
