Abstract

The invention relates to an exterior rear mirror for a vehicle. Said mirror comprises a mirror head (3) which can be pivoted around the mirror base (2) and a drive and control device (4) for motor-driven pivoting of the mirror head around the mirror base. The mirror base is fixed to the vehicle chassis (5). The drive and control device contains at least one position sensor (6) for determining the position of the mirror head in relation to the mirror base. The position sensor is designed as sensor for determining the end positions (7a, 7b) and intermediate layers (8a, 8b). A normal movement area of the position sensor is defined by end layers and a certain end position can be perceived as a result of a given drive direction by the drive and control device and movement through said direction until an end position is reached by the position sensor.
