1) some people got trapped and inside a santro as its central locking and power windows failed due to water logging.
2) A Mumbai-Ahmedabad Volvo bus crashed enroute with a tanker and the bus caught fire but people couldn't open the automatic door due to central locking failure (they also didnt know about the position of emergency doors).
3) recently a baleno crashed and caught fire and once again the central locking failed and the driver succumbed.
Are the above reports really giving the right info about central locking's weakness or is it just misinformation?
If it's true, then is this the problem with only aftermarket systems or with OEM systems too? |
I have heard these things before. All i can say is that this is wrong information.
In most cars when the central locking is activated, you can still manually unlock your door.
As for the busses, ram has already posted the answer above.
