In the monitoring position, a dead angle area (15) of the normal position is visible. According to the invention, the rear view mirror device (1) comprises a proximity sensor (12) and an activating element (13), wherein the activating element (13) is configured for activating the proximity sensor (12) and the adjustment unit (11) during a turning operation. By means of the adjusted mirror element (10) and of the activated proximity sensor (12), traffic participants (3) can be observed outside the normal field of view.
