A mirror system for a vehicle comprising an exterior rearview mirror assembly,
which includes a fixed portion which is configured to mount to a side of the vehicle.
The movable portion includes a reflective element and a reflective element actuator.
The reflective element has a generally rearward field of view when the mirror system
is mounted to the vehicle. The reflective element actuator provides selective adjustment
of an orientation of the reflective element to adjust the rearward field of view
to a desired orientation, and the movable portion is movably mounted to the fixed
portion. The movable portion actuator selectively moves the movable portion between
a viewing position wherein the movable portion extends outwardly from the vehicle
at an angle with respect to the side of the vehicle and another viewing position
wherein said movable portion extends outwardly from the vehicle at another angle
with respect to the side of the vehicle. The movable portion actuator is adapted
to move the movable portion to one of the positions, and the reflective element
actuator is adapted to generally maintain the rearward field of view at the desired
orientation independent of the position of the movable portion.
