The release must work at all times, period.
Police officer to a kidnap victim “ Why did you not pull the emergency release?”, “ I tried but the ignition was OFF”.
I agree, Dave, if nothing has failed, the emergency release will "always" work; but if you read pos t#44 in the epic thread titled, "Trunk lid jammed", you'll see a situation where the emergency release won't work - at least that's my understanding of the post.
