There’s a minor epidemic of people calling emergency services because they’re locked in their cars and can’t get out. They don’t understand that the doors can be unlocked without the key fob remote. I don’t hold much hope for such people as far as acquiring any sort of mechanical inclination at all, let alone understanding how to repair anything. They’re getting ever more helpless outside a video game.

I have a 2006 and 2012 vehicles, both have a movable door lock on the inside of the doors...

You are telling people have become so stupid they do not understand to open the door they simply move the lock to the open position and pull the handle...?

Sadly my sister-in-law falls into this category. A couple of years go she went out to get in her car and it would not open! She panicked!
I went over, took her remote, used the ignition key on it to open the door and found her battery was dead, dead, dead.

She did not even know her doors had a key slot!

Pulled the battery, got a new one installed and she was ok.
