Abstract: A rearview device for a vehicle, includes: a moveable mirror head assembly that includes an upper casing element, a lower casing element, and a bezel that carries a mirror glass; a base frame; a motor cradle connected to the upper and lower casing elements; and an actuator assembly attached to the base frame and configured to move the moveable mirror head assembly connected to the articulation assembly via the motor cradle. The actuator assembly is configured to adjust the moveable mirror head assembly inwardly or outwardly and upwardly or downwardly so that movement of the moveable mirror head assembly may be controlled using the actuator assembly to change a field of view in a drive position or to place the moveable mirror head assembly in a park position. The actuator assembly provides a range of angular motion of the moveable mirror head assembly that is greater in the inwardly or outwardly direction than in the upwardly or downwardly direction. Programmable actuator assembly settings for one or more of the field of view in the drive position or the park position of the moveable mirror head assembly are pre-set for selection by a user of the rearview device.
