Abstract: A vehicular camera monitoring system includes an electronic control unit (ECU) at a vehicle and a support arm movably disposed at a side portion of the vehicle, with the support arm having a base end attached at the side portion of the vehicle and a distal end opposite the base end. A camera is disposed at the distal end of the support arm. The support arm is movable between a stowed position and an extended position. A cover element covers an aperture at the side portion at least when the support arm is in the extended position. The camera, when the support arm is in the extended position, captures image data and provides captured image data to the ECU, which processes the provided image data for (i) display of video images derived from provided image data and/or (ii) detection of an object in the field of view of the camera.

Abstract: A vehicular exterior rearview mirror assembly includes a powerfold actuator and a mirror head. The powerfold actuator includes an electrically-operable motor that rotatably drives a gear that is engaged with an output gear to pivot the housing portion relative to the output gear and a pivot post. The powerfold actuator includes a base portion fixed relative to the pivot post and the mounting arm, a first gear, a housing portion, a lifter element non-rotatably disposed at the base portion, and a spring element that urges the first gear toward the base portion. With the mirror head at the drive position, the spring element acts on the base portion via the output gear and housing portion. During powered pivoting of the housing portion relative to the pivot post, the spring element acts on the base portion via the output gear and not via the housing portion or the lifter element.
