Abstract
An outside rear view mirror for a motor vehicle is provided having an adjustably supported glass subassembly and an electric adjusting mechanism for remote-controlled adjustment of the glass subassembly. The position of the glass subassembly, in particular the angular position, is determinable by means of at least one sensor. In order to enable contactless and wear-free acquisition of the position of the glass subassembly, the sensor is designed in the manner of a magnetic sensor, which cooperates in such a way with a magnetic element provided in the outside rear view mirror that the magnetic sensor or the magnetic element participates in the adjusting motion of the glass subassembly. The magnetic sensor in dependence upon the position of the magnetic element supplies a variable output signal, from which in an evaluation unit the position of the glass subassembly is derivable.
