ABSTRACT:
An exterior rearview mirror for a motor vehicle has a housing with a mirror pane pivotably connected therein. A first and a second and cable pull have first ends connected to the mirror pane. The first and second cable pulls act on the mirror pane in a same direction to pivot the mirror pane about a first axis and act on the mirror pane opposite directions to pivot the mirror pane about a second axis extending perpendicularly to the first axis. The first and second cable pulls have second ends. A transverse member is provided, and the second ends of the cable pulls are connected to opposite ends of the transverse member. A ball joint is connected to the housing. An actuating lever is connected to the ball joint and is accessible from the interior of the vehicle for actuating the ball joint. An arm is connected to the transverse member and the ball joint. The arm extends at an angle to the actuating member such that the transverse member is positioned laterally adjacent to the ball joint when viewing the ball joint and the transverse member from the interior of the vehicle in the direction of the actuating lever.
