So the question is, say I am in the car with the doors locked and the battery dies or for some other reason all power is lost, am I stuck inside this thing? How is it that the door pulls do not unlock and open the door? In my Audi, if you pull the handle once, the door unlocks, pull it again and the door opens.
This seems like a potential very dangerous situation. Am I just missing something?
Thanks

I believe the behavior is intended to prevent someone from breaking your window and then using the door handle to open the door. I'm not sure how it behaves without power as I've never run into that problem myself.
