Abstract

An external rearview mirror for a motor vehicle is provided. The mirror housing, in which is disposed a mirror pane, is secured on a mounting in such a way as to be pivotable about a vertical axis into a park position. In a region remote from the pivot axis, the mirror housing is guided by curved guide means that includes teeth with which is associated at least one gear wheel in such a way that rotation of the gear wheel effects a pivoting of the mirror housing.
