Outside mirror side turn indicator with integrated battery charge display function

A vehicular exterior mirror assembly, wherein the exterior mirror assembly is configured to be disposed at a side of a vehicle equipped with the exterior mirror assembly, the exterior mirror assembly comprising:

• a turn signal unit disposed at a mirror casing of the exterior mirror assembly;
• wherein the turn signal unit comprises a housing portion, a first light source, a second light source and a lens;
• wherein, with the exterior mirror assembly disposed at the side of the equipped vehicle, light emitted by the first or second light source, when the first or second light source is electrically powered, passes through the lens in the direction of forward travel of the equipped vehicle;
• wherein the first light source is actuated responsive to a charge level signal indicative of a vehicle charge level of a power source of the equipped vehicle when the equipped vehicle is in a charging state;
• wherein the turn signal unit, with the exterior mirror assembly disposed at the side of the equipped vehicle, and responsive to the charge level signal indicative of the vehicle charge level of the power source of the equipped vehicle, emits light via actuation of the first light source to indicate the vehicle charge level;
• wherein the second light source is actuated responsive to actuation of a turn signal indicator of the equipped vehicle when the equipped vehicle is in a driving state;
• and
• wherein the turn signal unit, with the exterior mirror assembly disposed at the side of the equipped vehicle, and responsive to actuation of the turn signal indicator of the equipped vehicle, emits light via actuation of the second light source to provide a turn signal indication.
