What I mean all models.

No. You can have a centralize lock at the driver side. The driver can lock/unlock all 4door manually. Not auto. My car is using this function without an auto lock.

Auto lock put you and me in a lazy mode.

Not since last yrs. Like Honda civic, it don't have auto lock since 8yrs ago.

8 years ago not KIA new models.

I mean K5, Spotage, Sorento, Cerato etc..

If Honda. It do have auto lock for CBU models until last year.
Maybe what U said Civic made in malacca.

That is not new trend, already happening since 2000 ... create accident, car owner come out, get rob

Ok, then this falls back to my original question, what is the difference if the door lock is locked by auto or manual? You stated removing auto lock will be more efficient for doors to be opened during emergencies or accidents.

If I locked my doors via manual/central lock, how does it provide advantage over auto lock in this case?

This make sense. So the original regulation is to have auto unlock upon impact, to save on cost, manufacturers removed the original auto lock feature.

if let say upon collision, everyone pengsan inside, no auto unlock upon collision, so ambulance come save u, but when arrive, cannot open door, window hard to break, or break liao risk of injuring ppl inside. then have to wait bomba come save ppl. this might be the logic.

autolock is an important safety features too, it's retard to say "hey, dont be lazy. u should lock the door urself becos H brand car dont implement it and local car implement it." just that what ppl are prioritizing in terms of safety, and local car still has autolock feature, with unlock upon collision

Yes, I understand the lock part where it will be difficult for others to save people inside a vehicle after collision.

The part I do not understand is how removing auto lock feature can make it easier for doors to be opened from outside. Friends/families and myself will manually lock out doors (as the auto lock feature has been removed) upon entering. Let's say any of us met an accident, auto lock or manual lock does not make any difference right?

My point is, stating the reason of safety - for removing the auto lock isn't reasonable.

which mean, instead of removing auto lock function they should instead force all new car in Malaysia to be equip with auto unlock upon collision instead.
