Document presents proposed text for Emergency Door Opening requirements to be discussed by Canada and Korea at the next EDO meeting. Proposals address owner’s manual provisions requiring detailed information on door opening and confirmation that the door opening system is intuitive and door handles are readily identifiable; secondary power supply requirements for latch release controls with warnings of failure; intuitiveness of latch release controls and door handles; replacement of the term ‘close vicinity’ with objective boundary criteria within the perimeter of the door frame; and inadvertent operation provisions for side doors with front-mounted hinges requiring interior door handles to be inoperative at vehicle speeds of 4 km/h or greater and provision of door closure warning systems.
Proposal for an updated justification section.
