Abstract
The invention relates to a side mirror assembly () for a ground vehicle, the side mirror assembly () comprising two mirrors () distributed parallel to a main axis (Z) of the side mirror assembly (), and both configured to be secured to the ground vehicle. The side mirror assembly () comprises a spacer actuator () for moving the two mirrors () relative to each other, between a primary position, wherein the mirrors () are at a first distance from each other along the main axis (Z), and a secondary position, wherein the mirrors () are at a second distance (Zd) from each other along the main axis (Z), the second distance (Zd) being greater than the first distance. At least when the mirrors () are in the secondary position, at least one empty see-through opening () is provided along the main axis (Z), between the mirrors (), so that a user may see beyond the side mirror assembly () through said at least one see-through opening ().
