An automobile exterior sideview mirror system includes an exterior
sideview mirror assembly, which includes a reflective element assembly.
The reflective element assembly includes a first reflective element
having a unit magnification and a second reflective element having a
curvature. The first reflective element and the second reflective element
are supported at a support element. The mirror system preferably further
includes an actuator, which is operable to adjust the orientation of the
reflective element assembly. The second reflective element is disposed
adjacent to and separate from the first reflective element when it is
included in the exterior sideview mirror assembly. Further, a demarcation
element is provided between the first reflective element and the second
reflective element. A portion of the second reflective element adjacent
the demarcation element has a front surface that is generally coplanar
with the front surface of the first reflective element.
