Abstract

A method is provided for adapting an adjustment of a mirror surface of an outside mirror of a motor vehicle to an eye point of a driver of the motor vehicle, as well as a motor vehicle having the outside mirror, wherein the outside mirror comprises an actuator, wherein the mirror surface is mounted in a housing of the outside mirror able to swivel by adjusting a respective actuator position on the actuator. In the method, an actuator position is coordinated with a projection point in an interior of the motor vehicle, the projection point being described by spatial coordinates in the interior of the motor vehicle on which a known light source is projected from outside the motor vehicle and directed at the mirror surface of the outside mirror. The eye point of the driver is determined, coordinating the eye point with spatial coordinates in the interior of the motor vehicle. The adjustment of the mirror surface is adapted to the eye point by adjusting at the actuator that actuator position which is coordinated with the projection point whose spatial coordinates correspond to the spatial coordinates of the eye point.
