Abstract
A control system for mirror in a vehicle as well as a method for controlling the side minors of a vehicle are disclosed. The control system may include a processor module and a memory module as well as a control console. The control console may include a minor toggle switch, a minor control switch, and two sets of memory recall switches. The first set of memory recall switches may be associated with set side mirror positions in a first operation state of the vehicle, which could for instance occur when the vehicle is operating in a drive gear. The second set of memory recall switches may be associated with set side minor positions in a second operation state of the vehicle, which could for instance occur when the vehicle is operating in a reverse gear.

6. A method for controlling the side mirrors of a vehicle, the method comprising:
-
detecting an operational state of the vehicle; identifying the associated memory state; adjusting the side mirrors of the vehicle to an orientation associated with the identified memory state; and providing a continuous loop feedback to determine changes in either the operational state or the memory state, wherein the operational state of the vehicle is determined whether the vehicle is in a drive gear or a reverse gear, and wherein the memory state is changeable by actuating either one of at least three drive memory recall switches if the operational state of the vehicle is that the vehicle is in a drive gear, or by actuating one of at least three reverse memory recall switches if the operational state of the vehicle is that the vehicle in a reverse gear.
