Rear view device for motor vehicles

Abstract

Abstract A rear view device for motor vehicles, specifically in particular utility vehicles, has at least one exterior rear view mirror (1) with a housing (2) and at least one swivellable mirror plate (3, 4) which is arranged in the housing (2). Electric adjustment motors (9, 10, 11, 12) for swivelling the mirror plates (3, 4) about an adjustment axis (5, 6, 7, 8) are provided. Furthermore, if appropriate, heaters (13, 14) for the mirror plate (3, 4) are provided. Switches (24, 23) are provided for the activation of the adjustment motors (9, 10, 11, 12) and the heater (13, 14). In order to reduce the outlay in terms of wiring and to permit retrofitting of adjustable mirror plates (3, 4) with adjustment motors (9, 10, 11, 12), the switches (24, 23) are connected to a transmission unit (17) and the adjustment motors (9, 10, 11, 12) are connected to a reception unit (20), arranged in the housing (2), of a multiplex system. <IMAGE>
