A locking system for a motor vehicle having a disc-shaped rotational member, a drive for rotating the rotational member around a rotational axis and a lever which can be moved by the rotational member. A ramp is provided on the disc-shaped rotational member and the locking system is set up in such a manner that the lever can be pivoted by the ramp when the rotational member is rotated by the drive. A particularly flexible adjustment to the available installation space can thus be achieved, at the same time as a particularly high degree of efficiency of the mechanical power transmission.

A vehicle door device includes: a latch mechanism configured to be switchable between a latch state and an unlatch state; a door handle configured to be movable between a first position and a second position; a door handle projecting mechanism configured to move the door handle from the first position to the second position when a press portion provided on an outer surface of the door handle or in a peripheral portion of the outer surface of the door handle is pressed; and an electrical unlatch operation mechanism including a switch and an electric actuator, the switch being operated by the door handle or the door handle projecting mechanism when the press portion is pressed, and the electric actuator being configured so that, when the switch is operated, the electric actuator is operated to switch the latch mechanism from a latch state to an unlatch state.

A closure latch assembly equipped with a double pawl latch mechanism and including a resilient linkage arrangement between a component of the double pawl latch mechanism and a component of a latch release and reset mechanism which is configured to assist in both latch release and latch reset operations.

A vehicle includes a chassis defining a longitudinal axis, a cab coupled to the chassis, a cargo body coupled to the chassis and positioned rearward of the cab, and a driver seat disposed within the cab. The cab has a first door with a first window and a second door with a second window. When the driver seat is in a position that accommodates an operator being in the 95.sup.th male height percentile, the operator within the driver seat can see out of (i) the first window at a first angle relative to a forward looking direction that is parallel with the longitudinal axis and (ii) the second window at a second angle relative to the forward looking direction. Each of the first angle and the second angle is at least 95 degrees.

A motor vehicle door lock which is equipped with a locking mechanism that consists essentially of a rotary latch and a pawl. Also, at least one actuating lever chain for opening the locking mechanism in an emergency is provided. In addition, a control element which blocks the actuating lever chain indirectly or directly in normal operation and releases it in the event of an emergency, is provided. The control element is equipped with an electric motor having an output element.
