If it won't release with the fob the key may not work either. The pull tab inside gives more force than the key or the actuator. Gotta be easy to get out.
Strangest required safety feature EVER!

In the event of an accident, one must be able to take ones mangled body and climb through the car, drop the back seats and exit through the trunk. I completely understand their reasoning.

It must have nothing to do with kidnapping.

Well I will tell you it is a pain in the ass when they get out at a stop light and go running down the street screaming.

Especially when your arms and legs happen to be tied because of a strange game of charades with the local drunks, or after finishing a BDSM session.. If that's what you're into.

(I would not google BDSM)
