A recreational or utility vehicle system comprising a motorized member that allows for opening of a cargo door utilizing motorized movement to release the cargo door as well as a manual activation device that allows for opening of the cargo door in a manual and mechanical manner. In one arrangement, the recreational or utility vehicle system provides the convenience of opening the cargo door by a simple press of a button which activates the motorized movement. This arrangement also provides for opening of the cargo door when the motorized member fails or when power is unavailable.

A vehicle door lock device includes: a housing having an opening; a coupling member configured to be coupled to an operation mechanism arranged on a door; an operation lever arranged inside the housing and coupled to the coupling member through the opening; and a cover capable of opening and closing the opening and a coupling point between the coupling member and the operation lever. The cover is separate from the housing and assembled to the housing to be mountable on and demountable from the housing and rotatable between opened and closed states. Each of the housing and the cover includes: a temporary retaining mechanism to temporarily retain the cover in the opened state when the cover is assembled to the housing in a rotatable manner; and a full retaining mechanism configured to retain the cover in the closed state when the cover is rotatably assembled to the housing.

A vehicle having a door operation assembly having an internal door handle assembly, an outside door handle assembly, and an arrester component. The arrester component includes a housing, a barrier, and an activator/deactivator. When the vehicle door is in a locked state and the outside door handle is in a flush position, the activator/deactivator causes the barrier to engage with an outside door handle of the door handle assembly to arrest the movement of the door handle from the flush position to a deployed position. When the vehicle door is in the locked state and the door handle is in the deployed position, the activator/deactivator causes the barrier to disengage from the door handle to allow the movement of the outside door handle from the deployed position to the flush position.

A power-operated vehicle closure system includes a vehicle door equipped with a cinch assembly having a power actuator and a closure latch assembly having a latch mechanism and a latch cinch mechanism. Actuation of the power actuator in a first direction provides a power cinch operation to cause the latch cinch mechanism to cinch the latch mechanism. Actuation of the power actuator in a second direction provides a power ice breaking operation to cause the latch cinch mechanism to open the latch mechanism. The system includes a controller that receives signals indicating the positions of a ratchet and a pawl of the latch mechanism and controls the power actuator to operate the latch cinch mechanism in either the first or second direction.

An emergency mechanism for manually opening a powered door that includes a hold-close latch that holds the door in a closed position. During the manual operation, a manually operated handle for actuating only the hold-closed latch is manually moved from a non-actuating position to an actuating position, which actuates the hold-close latch to release the door from the closed position. The handle is held in the actuating position until it is moved back to the non-actuating position during a subsequent powered operation, thus allowing a user to move the door to an opened position using both hands.

A device (D) for “hands-free” unlocking/locking of a door of a motor vehicle (V), said device (D) being intended to be placed on board said vehicle (V), and comprising a radiofrequency antenna (A) and radiofrequency transmission/reception means (50) capable of authenticating portable equipment (SD) of a user, at least one capacitive sensor for detecting the approach and/or the contact (C) of a member of the user in a predetermined zone (Z), an electronic unit (40) controlling the unlocking of the door, said device (D) being characterized in that it further comprises an emergency access device (E) comprising:

a) a body (1);
b) a graspable pull member (3) connected to a lock actuator (4) and movable between: a retracted position, in which the pull member (3) is retracted in the body (1); and a deployed position, in which the pull member (3) projects outside the body (1);
c) a retention pin (6) sliding transverse to the pull member (3) and adapted to assume: a blocking position, in which it is disposed against the pull member (3), keeping the pull member (3) in its retracted position, and a position for releasing the pull member (3);
d) an electric ejector (8) adapted to control the sliding of the retention pin (6);
e) a control unit (12) for the electric ejector (8) adapted to control the electric ejector (8) in two modes: an unblocking mode, in which the electric ejector (8) drives the retention pin (6) from its blocking position to its release position; and a vibration mode, in which the electric ejector (8) oscillates the retention pin (6) between its blocking position and an intermediate position between the blocking position and the release position,
the control unit (12) controlling the electric ejector (8) in vibration mode as a function of an authentication status of the equipment of the user, the device (D) comprising a chain (100) for transferring vibrations between the electric ejector (8) and a contact surface (S1) of the member of the user, in order to notify the user of the authentication status.
