Default Is it possible to lock oneself INSIDE a TTC?

Hey I was just pondering the consequences yesterday
of not having a physical door lock. What if you're
instide a coupe with the doors locked and the
battery dies, or the wires short, or a fuse blows
or something. Can you unlock the doors?

I know there is a manual hatch release, but can
you get to the back from the inside if the rear
seats are up?

Can you break a side window with a tire gauge?:>

Idle pondering....

Default

All you have to do is pull the door handle twice.

Default If you remember the first time you pull on the door handle inside the car it unlocks........

and I am sure that isn't an electrical thing, so it would work if the battery or fuses blow. At least I think it would. If all else fails then I suppose you could break a glass. -Doug

Default I locked my keys in the trunk once...

I was locked out of the car...I got into the passenger compartment with a little inginuity, but getting to the trunk was a bit of a challenge with the alarm going off. First you have to pull the shelf toward the front of the car to disengage the tabs from the hatch. Reach your hand behind the seat and pull the seat release latch. Voila! Got my keys. Now how do you open the hatch from the inside? Anybody? Anybody?

Default Easy! Pull the emergency rip cord!

It's hidden under the cupholder.

Default Are you sure this isn't electrical? The door handle unlock is mechanical?

Would make sense, certainly if it were.

Thanks.

Default Certain. Not electrical. Pull twice, like the people said. :)

Of course, I can tell you how to trap oneself in a TT. Wear a helmet. But don't tell anyone or no more club racing.

My Bell M2 does not fit through the windows.

Default just a quick note: if you unlock the car

then don't physically open it, the lock will automatically go back on.
