ABSTRACT:
In a control device for quick angle adjustment of a rearview mirror for a vehicle of the present invention, a reversible switch is connected in the forward direction only when an operational switch for quick angle adjustment is operated after a shift lever is displaced to a reverse gear position. This rotates a quick angle adjusting motor to tilt a mirror angle of the mirror assembly to a reverse position. The mirror angle does not change automatically to the reverse position when the reverse gear is selected merely to reverse a vehicle. Accordingly, change of the mirror angle against the driver's intention can be avoided. When a tilt angle of the mirror is at the reverse position, the reversible switch can be connected in the reverse direction by means of displacing the shift lever from the reverse gear position to any other position or by means of turning OFF the operational switch for quick angle adjustment, which enables the mirror to return to its normal position easily, positively and radically. Accordingly, the tilt angle of the mirror can be changed easily and accurately, which proves the highly improved operation.
