A two-pull, automatic reset, latch system is configured to operate during a no-power scenario and a power scenario. The latch system includes a release system, a release lever, and a coupling lever. The release lever is pivotally engaged to a stationary structure about a first axis. The coupling lever pivots about a second axis offset from the first axis, and is adapted to couple the release lever to the release system during a no-power scenario and upon two actuations of the release lever. The coupling lever is further adapted to maintain decoupling of the release lever from the release system during a power scenario.

A remote cinching actuator, which includes an integral motor wherein its rotation will drive the two stage drive gears system, that are coupled to a cable lever. This cable lever is mechanically attached to a cinch lever within the side door latch by the cable. The lever will rotate on its pivot and move the cinch drive link. A bearing attached to the cinch drive link will move during the cinching operation, traveling through a canal of a cinch override lever, to maintain the traveling course of the cinch drive link and, thereby, allowing the interaction between the cinch drive link and a claw to rotate the claw to its closed/primary position. A vehicle side door latch, including an integral motor and a power release gear for performing a power release function of the latch wherein the rotation of the motor in a power release direction will drive the power release gear which in turn will hit a power release lever to move the pawl release lever, so that the former can interact with a pawl lifter, coupled to the latch pawl, thereby allowing the claw to rotate to its open position. The side door latch also consists of a cinch override lever which allows the cancellation of the cinching function at any time of the cinching travel by interacting with a cinch override clutch lever, and in turn with a cinch override clutch link which is attached to both, the pawl release lever and the cinch override clutch lever. These interactions within the latch will allow the disengagement of the cinch drive link from the latch claw.

Side door latch

A vehicle latch assembly includes a plurality of levers for transferring actuation forces to open and close the vehicle latch assembly, at least one of the plurality of levers formed of at least one polymer, wherein the plurality of levers includes a child lock engage lever. Also included is an actuator housing assembly including a water deflector enclosing a connection between an actuator housing and a cover, the vehicle latch assembly reducing sound, reducing release effort, and reducing water intrusion.
