child safety lock/latch on rear doors ??

Hi,

I'm trying to locate the child safety lock/latch on the rear doors of my 04 c230 sedan but I can't find it. I looked through the owner manual and it is not mention anyway. Does MB offer this child safety feature ? Hope you know what I'm talking about, basically you enable this latch, the rear door can only be open from the outside, not from the inside. My previous Maxima has this feature and I find it very useful.

thx,
Jeff

I don't have 4 doors, but since nobody else has replied and I know the answer...

This is not an option on the rear doors. The best solution is a new set of door pins that will go down flush with the door when locked. However, this will not completely solve the problem.

Many people have been upset about this. Do a search on the forum and you may find more information/ solutions.

There was one woman that was very, very, upset about this.

underwhirled has it right, flush door pins, autolock at 5mph, and kid-mode are the best you are going to do. Not what you are expecting but actually not too bad if you think it through.
