R56 R56 doors don't auto unlock when removing the key
#26
I believe it unlocks the doors after the impact, it is during the impact that if a door is unlocked that is more likely to be thrown open. After it registers the impact, it will unlock the doors so that you can escape the vehicle (for example you'd want the doors to automatically unlock should you go off a bridge into a river or lake, or something to that effect)

The reference to 'locking system' seems to suggest that this would be the auto-lock, as opposed to methods for unlocking & opening the door, but I may be wrong.

LOCK your doors when driving.

Ever see the internet video floating around the last year or so, of the Taxi driver falling asleep at the wheel, WITH his seat belt on? The mini camera was mounted on top of the rear view mirror looking back into the car, so you could see driver and passengers in back seat (although there were no passengers at the time of clip), it was there for security and taxi co. to monitor drivers... anyway, the car goes off veers of the road, and rolls over. He slips right out of his seatbelt (properly worn), and bounces around in the back seats area hitting against the doors of the car like a ragdoll. The doors were locked, and stayed shut. He survived.... Had the door he opened, he was a goner.

Yes, you should lock your doors AND wear seatbelts. Yes, there is that occasion every now and then when a seatbelt didn't help. Just like, occasionally brakes don't stop you in time. The fact is seatbelts DO save lives and reduce injuries. Almost daily I read in the paper about the deceased child/mother/spouse/carjacker ejected from a vehicle "was not wearing a seat belt." My first wife was a paramedic and often said, "I haven't get pulled a corpse out from his seatbelt."

Not sure why people hate the double pull, I think it's pretty sweet. Nothing like the confusion on a passengers face when they pull the door handle, it doesn't open, they try to pull the lock stalk thinking it's still locked, but can't, and then stare at me with that ??? look. At that point I say, just pull the handle, they do, it works and then they walk away muttering something about how they thought they already tried that.
