The hinge system for a rear door (42) of a motor vehicle that moves into a fully open position against the vehicle side (38) by means of a U-shaped supporting arm (64) with its two ends (66, 70) connected to the door and body by hinges with parallel axes (A2, A3) has a guide arm (76) fixed to the door at one end and fitted with a pin on its free end (80) that slides in a guide rail (74) fixed to the vehicle body during the initial stage of the door's travel as it is opened. In the second stage the pin is disengaged from the guide rail and the door's position is locked relative to the U-shaped arm, which moves together with the door for the remainder of its travel. |
