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'll pop the hood, attach batt-tender (batt charger) to charging posts in the engine bay; then you can try if you can open the other doors. I did this many times, when I disconnect the batt when disassembling fuel rail and need to open the trunk. GL.
