Anyone know how to setup child locks on the rear doors ?
I don't see any mention in the manual. My 18 month old is already reaching out from his car seat and try to unlock the door.

thanks

Same as most cars, you open the rear door and press the latch upwards to activate and downwards to deactivate. (see page 76 of the owners Manual).

Thanks for the reply but I don't see this mentioned on page 76 ?
Could this be another feature left out on the US model ?

It is interesting. My older Benz has no child lock, but I have impression that it was added to new models.

Child locks aren't on US cars like they are ROW cars. But if you set up selective locking/unlocking (process is in manual) on each key supposedly the rear doors will not open by once locked. Supposedly.

I've yet to sit back there to test it out.

If you have your locks set to lock after going above 15mph (which can be turned on or off through the center computer), then the rear doors won't unlock by just pulling on the handle. Driver has to hit the unlock button before the rear doors can be opened. This only works if you go above 15mph though, so if you get in and are going slow out of a drive way or parking lot, the doors can still be opened until the locking takes place. (This is the way my 06 ML works, but you should try it yourself to be 100%)

chilled was close.... All the doors will lock at 9mph on the W204. (Able to set this feature through your 'Settings' with the steering wheel). The back doors are child-lock standard, which means by pulling on the door handle, the doors will not open. The back doors will then only unlock after someone in the front has opened one of their doors (or pushed the unlock button). Now to make sure no one is trapped back there, you can physically pull the knob up on the back doors to unlock them, I guess you just have to hope the kids give-up after trying to open the doors with the handles.

Thanks for the detailed explanation everyone. This is good stuff.

9mph you say?...ha ha ha I guess from the time my lead foot presses the pedal to the time my eyes look down at the speedo after hearing the locks its 15mph. Thanks for the correct info.

Kids are smarter us. Mine knows where central locking button, but I do not. Probably European children are different.
