Method for verifying indirect view system provides image capture unit () with image sensor (), image processing unit (), reproduction unit () and reference transducer () at a position at the vehicle (), such that the reference transducer () lies in a recording portion of the image capture unit () and is depicted on the image sensor (). The reference transducer () is defined at a reference transducer target position () on the image sensor (). Image data of at least one recording portion () around the vehicle () are captured on sensor () and reproduced on unit (). Then, a reference transducer current position () of the transducer () is determined on the image sensor () and the reference transducer current position () is compared with the reference transducer target position () to that extent whether reference transducer current position () is equal reference transducer target positon ().

Method for verifying an indirect view system

A holding apparatus () for a vehicle has a first element () attachable to the vehicle (), a second element () movably connected with the first element () via a bearing mechanism, an image capture unit (A,B) attached to the second element () and configured to capture a capture area around the vehicle (), and a signal unit () configured to detect the position of the first element () relative to the second element (). The signal unit () has a signal device () adapted to output a signal (S) and a signal transmitter () configured to operate the signal device () dependent on a position of the first element () to the second element () such that it outputs a signal (S).
