Door upper hinge
DOOR LOCK
A roller type 2-step door check is used on all models
which improves the operational feel when opening and
closing the door and it holds the door securely at the
midway position.
The door latch is rubber coated to improve the operation
feel and for less noise when opening and closing the
door.
Central door locking with a key reminder system has
been adopted so that all doors can be locked and un-
locked by means of the driver's side inside lock knob or
by the door lock key.
NOTE
Refer to GROUP 54 -
ETACS
for central door locking.

OPERATION OF DOOR CHECK STRAP
It is made so the rollers which can rotate in the door check arm is
pushed up and down by the spring.
When the door is opened/closed and the roller reaches the indented
position in the door check arm, the door can be held securely in the
opened position.
Because the roller rotates, the operational feeling is good when
opening/closing the door.
