Default Passenger Door Release - Inside

I've noticed that most of my passengers have a "hard" time opening the door from the inside. They typically pull on the handle, then check to see if it's still locked, and then look at me as if they're being held captive! LOL

If you pull the handle gently to the max position, the door opens easily. Why do people have such a hard time with that? I've tried it myself and don't see anything wrong with it.

I've considered trying to adjust the cable, but I don't think it's worth the hassle, unless someone here can convince me otherwise.

Thanks.

Old Mike....wouldn't worry about it mate ;o]
I have experienced the very same odd looks from passemngers.
it's just that the Jaguar's handle 'feel' seems to have a two stage effect
and it's that last little bit that has the harder pull to it.
Most people move the handle 3/4 of it's travel expecting that to open the door when it's the last 1/4 of the movement that does all the work.
NAAAAH!!...let it go, they'll get used to it ;o)=)
