Anybody heard of 'panic locking' on our cars?

This was a standard feature on the facelifted 25/45/ZR/ZS and introduced as part of the changes. A nice feature for marketing's sake but not sure how useful it would be (depends on where you find yourself perhaps!).

It's a damn nuisance actually . You have to use it to let a passenger out of the car because speed-locking has locked the doors , and unless you are quick all hell breaks loose
The battery backed-up siren is another pet hate .........
