Abstract:
A vision system of a vehicle includes a camera module configured to be disposed at an exterior portion of a vehicle. The camera module includes a mounting base and a camera that is pivotally mounted at the mounting base. The camera includes an imager and a lens. The camera is pivoted relative to the mounting base between a stowed position and a deployed position. The camera module includes a wiping element that is disposed at the mounting base and configured to wipe the lens when the camera is pivoted between the stowed and deployed positions. A portion of the wiping element is disposed at a lens wiping region and configured to wipe the lens when the camera is pivoted between the stowed and deployed positions. Pivoting the camera between the stowed and deployed positions causes presentation of a clean portion of the wiping element to wipe the lens.

Claim (Index 14):
A vision system of a vehicle, said vision system comprising:\n a camera module configured to be disposed at an exterior portion of a vehicle, said camera module comprising a mounting base and a camera that is pivotally mounted at said mounting base; wherein said camera comprises an imager and a lens; wherein said camera module comprises an actuator that is powered to pivot said camera relative to said mounting base; wherein, with said camera module disposed at the exterior portion of the vehicle, and responsive to powering of said actuator, said camera pivots relative to said mounting base between a stowed position, where said lens is not exposed at an exterior of the vehicle, and a deployed position, where said lens is exposed at the exterior of the vehicle and said camera has a field of view exterior of the vehicle; wherein said camera module comprises a wiping element that is disposed at said mounting base, with a portion of said wiping element disposed at a lens wiping region and configured to wipe said lens when said camera is pivoted between the stowed and deployed positions; wherein said wiping element is not exposed to the environment exterior the vehicle; wherein said wiping element is indexed to position a clean portion of said wiping element at the lens wiping region after a threshold number of pivots of said camera between the stowed position and the deployed position; and wherein said wiping element is removable and wherein, after said wiping element is indexed a threshold number of times, an indication is generated so a user can remove said wiping element for cleaning or replacement.
