Does this mean that under normal circumstances, if the vacuum becomes depleted, say, from repeated opening and closing of the locks before the car is started again to run the vacuum pump, the reservoir can become pressurized from a big increase in temperature (PV=nRT) and the increase in pressure can mess with the lock position?
