Abstract
The operating member of an uncoupling type vehicle door latch has a blocking portion which blocks movement of the coupling means to uncoupled position when the door latch is in unlatched position unless the operating member is first moved to an operated position. This requires the performance of multiple conscious actions by the driver in order to obtain keyless locking. The coupling means can be returned to coupled position by the locking means without operation of the operating member.
