About Door Handle
The Prius Toyota door handle is a vital component of the car door, enabling the person to get into the car.
A car door will have both an internal and an external handle. Most car door handles are made of strong plastic or metal. The Prius Toyota door handle is an exterior door handle, fixed to the inner door frame with the aid of bolts, which are hidden by the inner door panel.
Door handles work with a pulling and latch mechanism, and are usually attached to this mechanism by screws. The door handle mechanism consists of a latch, a toothed wheel and a rotor which are contained behind the door panel. When the door handle is opened this causes the latch to release. The person can apply pressure to the Prius Toyota door handle and, holding on to the handle, pull the door open (aided by the hinged mechanism of the door). The person can also push the door shut with the help of the Prius Toyota door handle.
There are many different shapes, styles, materials, finishes and colours when it comes to car door handles. Purchasing a Prius Toyota door handle will ensure you get the right part, designed to fit the make and model of your vehicle. There are also various car door handle accessories, which, like the door handles, are usually specific to car make and model, and not an option for all, such as a handle guard and handle cover.
If the door handle isn't functioning properly, sticking, jamming or refusing to open, it's a sign that you may need to replace the Prius Toyota door handle with one that is compatible with your vehicle.
Toyota Prius trivia
- In the UK, the Toyota Prius is ranked as the 29th most popular car, according to the YouGov website. It also comes in at number 10 on the list of most famous cars. Fans of the car obviously praise its fuel-efficiency, but also its reliability and the low cost of maintenance.
- One of the ways that the first-generation Toyota Prius saves energy is through a heat insulation material that's been used throughout the interior. That insulation means that the aircon doesn't have to be running at full power for extended periods.
- The flat centre console and the flattened floor makes it much easier for drivers to get out of their Toyota Prius when they've parked somewhere tight. To make it even easier, the Toyota Prius door hinges are slanted for wider opening.
- The fourth generation saw the biggest leap forward in terms of improvements. The 4th-gen Toyota Prius was 20% more fuel-efficient, and 20% better at reducing CO2 emissions.
- If you're used to driving your Toyota Prius in the UK and then hire one on a trip to the US, you'll spot some notable differences. The biggest is the suspension (much stiffer in the UK), and the anti-roll bars that are much slimmer in the US.
