A power telescoping vehicle mirror assembly (10) comprising a bracket (12)
mountable to a vehicle, a mirror head (15), telescopically mounted to the
bracket (12), a mirror (16) mounted to the head (15), a power telescope
motor mechanism (30) for telescopically moving the head (15) with respect
to the bracket (12), a position controller for controlling the extent to
which the mirror head (15) extends with respect to the vehicle, a switch
operable by a driver of the vehicle, the switch providing a signal to the
position controller, and an input means for providing the position
controller with a set point, wherein upon actuation of the switch, the
head (15) telescopically moves with respect to the bracket (12) from a
retracted position to a partially extended position determined by the set
point. In an other embodiment, a spotter mirror, and a spotter mirror
motor mechanism for adjusting the orientation of the spotter mirror with
respect to the mirror head is also disclosed.
