Abstract
A method is provided for aligning at least one rear view mirror and/or another optical component of a motor vehicle. The current eye position of the driver is determined by an interior sensor system upon actuation of a control element. The at least one rear view mirror is automatically aligned as a function of the determined current eye position of the driver. An indication is output when the eye position of the driver cannot be determined.
