Certain anti-theft systems fully lock every door and window in a vehicle and also deactivate interior unlock controls. This can lead to a situation where an occupant can be locked inside a vehicle with no means of exit save to break a window. This proposal would introduce provisions for the safety and protection of road vehicle occupants in case of the installation of such a full locking system.
