Locked inside Mrs C's car...

You let the wife drive when you're sober.

That'll teach you.

My Skoda Superb has this and a warning comes up every time I switch off the car and take the keys out. When you lock the car it activates the alarm and deadlocks and disables all internal door locks, door opening handles and electric window/sunroof (if fitted) and boot/hatch release or opener controls.

I can disable it with some complicated button presses and lock the car once with locking being more ‘traditional’ and no internal alarm activated.  It will then default back to being on the next time. I can’t be bothered learning what the button presses are so if I lock my other half or kids in the car it is their bad luck. They’d better have a way to contact me to let them out before the air supply runs out

Edit - to answer your question - you can’t once you are locked in and the system wasn’t disabled before the locking in happened.

There are no overrides whatsoever on offer (in the Superb at any rate hence the warning about the system every time you remove the keys).

If his keys were in the boot then,the keys were not removed,you would have thought that the car would not have locked

Perhaps it’s not a keyless entry system

...not keyless, the keys look like this...

I can disable the locks and interior alarm in the car's setup menu. It can, however, only be done when the ignition is switched on. Jumping out and taking the keys with you doesn't seem to be an option. We have to disable the internal alarm when we leave the dog in the car in the winter. Previous VW group vehicles we've had just had a button usually in the B pillar which was much easier. All very well if you remember to do it.

Yup if you remember - last cross channel ferry ride I forgot on the way out and discovered my GTi had been screaming all the way to France.  Found the button on the way back

(No one left in the car obviously!)

Sounds like it could be a potential safety issue to me, I know it's a bit of a long shot, but what if the car had been involved in an accident, even though parked up, or had spontaneously caught fire?

I seem to recall someone mentioning to me that if you pull an internal handle a few times in quick succession that the door should open?
Reasoning being that someone inside might pull at the internal handle in a panic...
Used to work on all my Vauxhalls, deadlocked or not

That sounds like a risk in an accident.
