Abstract

See full text

A vehicular exterior rearview mirror system includes an exterior rearview mirror assembly having a mirror head pivotable relative to a mounting base. An actuator is operable to adjust the mirror head relative to the mounting base between a folded position and an extended position. The system includes a positioning sensor, a magnetic element, and an electronic control unit (ECU). The positioning sensor collects sensor data representative of a magnetic field of the magnetic element at the positioning sensor. The positioning sensor or the magnetic element is fixed relative to the mounting base and the other is pivotable with the mirror head relative to the mounting base. Based on processing at the ECU of captured sensor data and based on a determined magnetic field at the positioning sensor, the system determines a rotational position of the mirror head relative to the mounting base.
