I was wondering the same thing after looking at this thread, as I keep whacking the door of my three door into things, as it opens a heck of a lot further than my 5 door does. I just took a close look and if you look at the bar, there is an arced area in the middle, which provides the first stop. If you open the door quickly you don't notice it, but if you open the door slowly the door stops nicely at that point.
