"special knowledge" to unlock locked from inside
Just picked up a '17 M240i X-drive and reading the owners manual it says:
"Locking from the outside Do not lock the vehicle from the outside with people inside the car, as the vehicle can‐ not be unlocked from inside without special knowledge.◀" Anyone know what the "special knowledge" is? Note: a quick search didn't turn up anything.. |

If you have a US-spec vehicle, you can ignore that; the vehicle does not lock passengers inside, the double-pull handle unlocks the door(s).
There is a regional difference between specifically North American-spec vehicles and the rest of the world on how the locking system functions. The US-spec vehicles programming errs on the side of safety and puts personal safety over possible vehicle theft. I've verify that you're unable to lock anyone inside in a US-spec vehicle, by design. Only outside of North America does the doors "deadlocks" a result of strick European auto anti-theft laws, which I assume where that disclaimer applies to. . |

But when I lock doors with somebody inside and they touch anything (windows, door) the alarm goes off. My wife is more tolerant than I give her credit for sometimes.
