The invention relates to an exterior rearview mirror, comprising mirror glass, which is embedded in a mirror head, wherein the mirror head is pivotably supported against a mirror base, by means of which the mirror is fastened to the vehicle. The mirror glass comprises at least two mirror parts (8, 9) having different radii of curvature, wherein a separating line (10) between the mirror parts (8, 9) passes through the area (6, 7) that fulfills the imaging specifications.
The invention relates to an adjustment assembly for adjusting the reflective surface of a glass assembly (18) in a vehicle outside mirror, two linear adjustment motors (20) engaging with two points of the glass assembly, the adjustment motors (20) being mounted between the glass assembly (18) and a mirror carrier (2) in the mirror head, characterized in that the adjustment motors (20) are connected to the glass assembly (18) and/or to the mirror carrier (2) via at least one elastomeric connecting piece (30, 31).
