So, it’s now safe to manually pull the door handle?

The first thing I do for a new passenger is explain how to exit 😄.

Essentially, find the button with the "Open Door" sticker, then hold it down while pushing out the door.

Do y'all have to hold the button to open your rear doors?

I asked a service center to adjust that. They asked if I had modified anything. Yes, I put "Open Door" stickers on the buttons.

They tested some other cars and declared it "as expected."
Maybe I naturally press it longer than you do, but I don't recall having to consciously hold down the button. I just press it like any button (same with front door) and push out.

My doors do pop out however (it's a 2021 model), not sure if older models do that. If your door does not pop out, I can see possibly having to hold it down if you don't immediately push out the door, because it may disengage before you do so.
