In the aftermath of events such as the activation of irreversible restraint systems or a thermal runaway incident in the power battery, the door should still be capable of being opened by mechanically releasing the exterior door handle. Moreover, the independent operation of any interior door handle should result in the corresponding door being able to be opened.
