Abstract
An external rearview mirror for a motor vehicle is provided. The mirror can be pivoted by a swivel arm counter to the direction of travel. To improve the pivot movement and provide a smooth transition to a stationary part of the mirror, the swivel arm is guided in the vicinity of that end thereof that is proximate to the pivot location, via a guide rod or a curved guide, so that during pivoting, the mirror housing also moves away in the vicinity of that edge thereof that is proximate to the pivot location.
