As a result, the door may be ajar and the warning light may illuminate, and in the worst case, there is a risk of the door opening unintentionally.
Component	Door (Electrical wiring)
Remedy	For all vehicles, electrical wiring with a relay will be added to the left and right rear door circuits to prevent unintentional door opening.
