IVA

[V8 Vum]

Been taking a look at the IVA manual and came across this:

1.
All driver and passenger doors fitted to the sides of the vehicle must have a latch mechanism with both intermediate and fully latched positions. Alternatively, doors must be fitted with a safety bolt and an audible warning device, which activates when the vehicle is being driven if the bolt is not in the “secured” position.

Is this right?

I read that this evening too! I believe the Ultima is fine, as it does have an intermediate & fully latched mechanism on the doors. Someone who's been thru' the test will hopefully confirm

(I've got a pile of IVA questions, but will drip feed them over the next few mths!)

Definately correct.

Yes correct the Ultima latch is 2 stage.
