That is how I read it, and how I would expect it to work, but then I don't have an E70 and can't test it in my driveway. If I did have one, I would test the emergency release in the drive-through service bay of my dealer, but that is just me

I just would want to be prepared so that I wouldn't necessarily have to wait for a tow, if it did freeze up.
