1. A device for adjusting a view range of a vehicular monitoring device of a vehicle, comprising:
- an overtaking pre-motion detector outputting an adjusting signal when an overtaking operation is predicted by detecting a change in powertrain output of said vehicle; and
a controller in communication with said overtaking pre-motion detector and said vehicular monitoring device, controlling said vehicular monitoring device to move in response to said adjusting signal.

Abstract
A device for adjusting a view range of a vehicular monitoring device includes an overtaking pre-motion detector outputting an adjusting signal when an overtaking operation is predicted; and a controller in communication with the overtaking pre-motion detector and the vehicular monitoring device, controlling the vehicular monitoring device to move in response to the adjusting signal. The device may further output a warning signal to sound the horn or twinkle the vehicle lamp when the overtaking operation is predicted for safety consideration.

20. A device for adjusting a view range of a vehicular monitoring device of a vehicle, comprising:
-
a pre-motion detector outputting an adjusting signal when a pre-motion that the driver is ready to get off said vehicle is predicted; and
a controller in communication with said pre-motion detector and said vehicular monitoring device, controlling a view range of said vehicular monitoring device to be changed for monitoring various regions in response to said adjusting signal whether a vehicle ignition is on or off. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35)

36. A method for adjusting a view range of a vehicular monitoring device of a vehicle, comprising:
-
detecting a status of said vehicle;
determining whether a pre-motion operation that the driver is ready to get off said vehicle is performed according to said status of said vehicle;
outputting an adjusting signal to move said vehicular monitoring device between a first view range for monitoring a first region and a second view range for monitoring a second region when said pre-motion operation is performed; and
outputting a warning signal to enable a warning device when said pre-motion operation is performed. - View Dependent Claims (37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42)

43. A device for adjusting a view range of a vehicular monitoring device of a vehicle, comprising:
-
an overtaking pre-motion detector outputting an adjusting signal when an overtaking operation is predicted by detecting a specific light signal to be outputted by the vehicular lamp or lamps; and
a controller in communication with said overtaking pre-motion detector and said vehicular monitoring device, controlling said vehicular monitoring device to move in response to said adjusting signal.
