Introduction
The front doors have been designed with a structure and panels that feature no sharp corners thereby keeping the risk of possible injury to the occupants to a minimum.The locks and control linkage are protected against break ins by a shield that prevents access to the mechanisms from the outside. The safety lock is activated from inside the vehicle using the opening handle.The side panel features an armrest and an oddments pocket in the lower section; the arrangement of the functional elements in the actual panel has been designed to allow the correct interaction with the body of the occupant in the case of a side impact.They are smooth and soft at the top, whilst the projection of the armrest is rendered harmless by the fact that it collapses at a load level well below that which would risk injury to the organs in the abdomen.The door features a classic closed structure which, in addition to performing a structural function, provides support for the electric window motor, the guides and the various wiring.The following can be found on the door inner panel:
- opening/closing handle;
- door interior opening lever;
- an oddments pocket;
- the exterior mirrors adjustment device
- the speaker;
