Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.
0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.
Leading evidence: 'Test answer and you are right' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Test answer and you are right' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi All,
I doubt I'm to only one to notice this but other than the electronic door lock/unlock button on the dash (around the radio and climate control), there is no other way to "manually" lock and unlock the doors on the 996 (there isn't a manual ****/lever like most cars have on the door panel).
It occured to me yesterday, that if you were inside the car, with the doors locked, and for whatever reason, either the battery went completely dead/major electrical problem, or the electric door locks broke - how would you get out? Yes I know if just the door locks went bad, worst case you'd open the window and get out that way. But what if you lost all power? How would you get out.
I know its unlikely to happen, but I'm just curious. Am I missing something obvious or is this just a bit of bad engineering?
Thanks,
Jeff
Um, I never really paid attention but even if you manually lock the door with the lock button, couldn't you open it by simply pulling the driver's door handle (without having to push the unlock button)? I think the lock only locks the doors from the outside (as well as locks the gas tank door) but you can still get out from the inside.
Hi,
Thanks for the replys.
I had to test your answer and you are right. Pulling on the handle once from inside does nothing (other than lower the door window), but pulling it a second time opens the door. Interesting. I would never have thought. I guess it must be some sort of mechanical action that opens the lock.
Thanks... one more mystery solved.
Jeff
Actually, pulling the handle the first time unlocks that door, which enables you to open the door with the second pull of the handle. Child safety feature I would assume.
