What is the purpose of a door opening limiter?

[Kira]

The function of a door opening limiter is to restrict the extent to which a car door can open. On one hand, it limits the door's opening range to prevent it from opening too wide. On the other hand, it can keep the door open when needed, such as when the car is parked on a slope or during windy conditions, preventing the door from automatically closing. Common types of door opening limiters include standalone strap-style limiters, as well as limiters integrated with the door hinge, which typically provide limiting functionality when the door is fully or partially open. Door opening limiters can be categorized by the method of providing limiting force into rubber spring type, metal spring type, and torsion spring type. They can also be classified by friction type into rolling friction type and sliding friction type.
