Yeah.. I made sure I read that bit of the manual..

It doesnt mention tho when the doors are deadlock and you have an accident, they auto unlock.. I was concerned theyd have to bury me in it.. !!

The system may be designed to automatically unlock the doors in the event of an accident, but you can never guarantee how a car's electronics will behave in a crash, it depends on what damage is inflicted to it.

Although it's probably academic because if you have sufficiently bad shunt you won't get the doors open anyway, the Clio body has specific design features that mean the force of the impact pins the doors into the structure, increasing the strength of the "safety cell" and maximising the energy transmission around the passengers. Just be glad that all the airbags etc should limit your injuries and then some nice person like me will whizz along to cut them off for you ;)

Seen a lot of car crashes basically through my job!

Can't go wrong with a Mk3 Clio tbh mate, 5-star Euro NCAP and lots of airbags, although the best option is undoubtedly not crashing in the first place, it's a pretty good choice of car to be in :D

Got to agree I feel a lot more safe in my 197 then I ever did in my 2 * 172's, solid built plus 5* admitedtly it is now the same weight as a world war 2 tank ;o))
