DOOR CONSTRUCTION
id091100100100
• Freestyle doors have been adopted, allowing the rear doors to open outward from the center of the vehicle.
• The front doors can open up to 67% and the rear doors up to 80%, ensuring good access.
• The rear doors have been slanted towards the inner side and rear of the vehicle so they open at a slightly upward angle. This prevents the doors from interfering with each other when opening or closing and reduces the amount of force required for opening.
• A large-sized release handle located inside rear door jamb is used to open the rear door. Due to this, a mechanism that keeps the rear door from opening if the front is not opened first has been adopted, and accidental opening is prevented.
• The following structural supports have been adopted in order to prevent cabin deformation in case of a side-impact collision. (see
CABIN CONSTRUCTION)
-
― Side impact bars in the front doors
― Built-in pillar in the rear doors
― Catch pins along the bottom edges of both the front and rear doors
