REAR DOORS
Two 270-degree
hinged rear doors
Details and Technology
The rear doors are fitted with special hinges which allow them to be opened to 90 and approximately
270 degrees. When fully open, the doors lie more or less flat against the sides of the vehicle and are held
in position by magnetic catches. Depending on what combination of rear wipers, rear vent windows and
sliding doors is fitted and what wheelbase is specified, the magnetic door catches on the left and right
hand sides of the vehicle may be of differing length. This serves to ensure, for example, that rear doors
with rear window wipers are held at the necessary distance from the vent windows when fully open.
Benefits and Arguments
• Easier loading and unloading in confined spaces
Facilitates loading and unloading, particularly in confined space. Makes for easy reversing with opened
rear doors, for example at loading ramps, while at the same time allowing the driver a view to the rear in
the exterior mirrors.
