An exterior mirror for a vehicle, including a support or base mounted on the vehicle, and a housing that accommodates a mirror body and is mounted on the support or base in such a way that it is pivotable to the front and to the rear relative to the forward direction of travel of the vehicle. The housing is pivotable against a spring force in such a way that after a pivoting movement the housing returns to a normal position. A slide member is mounted to the housing and in the normal position of the latter rests against the base of an approximately V-shaped channel in the mirror base or support under spring force. During pivoting of the housing in one direction, the slide member, against the spring force, moves along one of the side surfaces of the channel, while during pivoting of the housing in the opposite direction, the slide member moves along the other side surface of the channel.
