Method and apparatus for controlling an external rear-view mirror of a vehicle from a retracted position in a folded-in position

摘要

A method for controlling an external rear-view mirror (2) of a vehicle (1) from a retracted position into a retracted position with the use of a proximity sensor (3) for detecting an object in a direction opposite to the direction of travel of the vehicle (1) directed detection area (4), in which the following method steps are performed:a) determining a switching off an ignition of the vehicle (1) first parameter indicating,b) determining a second parameter, which a in the detection area (4) by means of the proximity sensor (3) indicates detected object,c1) controlling the external rear-view mirror (2) into its swung in position, if the first parameter is a switching off of the ignition and the second parameter no object in the detection area (4), and furthermorec2) determining a third parameter and controlling of the external rear-view mirror (2) in dependence upon the third parameter into its swung in position, if the first parameter is a switching off of the ignition and the second parameter an object in the detection area (4) indicates.
