Strange but there don't seem to be deadlocks on the doors ? Previously on other cars I have owned recently you press the keyfob twice to deadlock. This prevents some one simply smashing the glass and gaining entry by pulling the door release from inside. Either that or the CHR deadlocks all the time which is OK but in some cases not good as in an emergency you are trapped !

There's some setting about the doorlock and keyfob doubleclick in infotainment system's vehicle settings. I don't know what it does

But there's another setting to choose all doors or driver doors. I'll check later today after work if I won't forgetholyhead said:
You can set up the 'key' to either open all doors or one click for drivers door and two clicks for all doors, (I spotted it somewhere in the manual). Also you can internally lock all the doors and although you can open the front doors from inside if you only open the drivers door all the rest remain locked, including the boot. This I discovered when I leapt out the car and couldn't open the boot!
Page 95 of the manual stats "double locking system". I'm guessing this is dead locks.
If I touch my handle twice then there is definitely a 2nd clunk after all the doors lock, which I would say is dead locks.
Does also say "if fitted".
Maybe depends on which level trim.

C-HR equipped with double lock system have labels on driver and passenger windows. Sitting inside with keyfob or pressing the lock button will not activate double lock.
To activate it you should touch the lock sensor on door handle twice within 5 seconds (keyless entry) or press lock button on remote twice within 5 seconds.

Today I checked my car and there are no labels on windows, but, when I press keyfob twice or touch sensor twice, the lock also clicks inside doors twice. Tried clicking and touching more, but still it clicks only twice. Does that mean there's this deadlock even with no labels on windows? And what's the point of it? Just so noone could get out if left inside?

So I've checked and the doors could be opened from inside. No double lock for me
What surprised me - alarm didn't go off. Could it be because of me standing with a keyfob near the car?

The point is not to prevent people stealing things but to prevent easy entry and exit from the Vehicle following a broken window.
Those time can mean the difference between getting caught and getting away.
