Abstract
A hinge assembly for a vehicle is provided having an internal passageway defined by mated slotted portions of the hinge and the door jamb, check assembly, mounted on the hinge and having a specifically configured free end extending through the passageway, and detent arrangement, mounted on the interior of the door jamb for engagement with the specifically configured free end of the check assembly to restrain rotation of the door in a primary intermediate open position. The specifically configured free end of the check assembly and the detent arrangement cooperated with one another so as to alternatively restrain rotation of the door in the primary intermediate open position and a less open secondary intermediate open position, and the check assembly is formed for releasable engagement with the detent arrangement to permit free rotation of the door to a fully open position.
