lThe sash is flush with the body and has had its
height difference with the glass
surface mini-
mized to reduce wind noise.
* By effectively employing reinforcements, the
regularorrigidity of the outer panels and the rigidity of thebeltline openings have been improved.
lA two-step door check has been adopted to hold
the door securely at the midway position.

The actuator is light in weight and is the highly reliable motor
We.
NOTE
The door lock actuator incorporates an internal PTC thermist’-so as to Prevent damage as the result of overheating of
L
motor.*: PTC
is an acronym for Positive Temperature Coefficient.
The thermistor with a positive temperature coefficient
ofresistance provides more resistance as it generates
heat,thus limiting current and controlling the amount of
haat
generated.
