Function test following assembly work
Installation Location
Note. A malfunction occurs only after the vehicle is locked for the first time. In other words: if a door handle was fitted incorrectly, the affected door can be opened and closed without difficulty until the vehicle is locked for the first time. After that, the door cannot be opened either from inside or outside. Given this, it is important to perform a function test before the door is closed.
1. Do not close vehicle door after installing door handle.
