Interesting observation on my MB from the weekend. When the doors are locked via the master switch from the inside, pulling the driver or passenger inside handle with either unlock just that one door or all of them depending on how the doors were unlocked when you entered the car. I have my keyfob set to only unlock the driver door when I pull the driver door handle, as opposed to unlocking all doors when any passenger handled is pulled. So if I unlock the car via the passenger side (and all doors unlock), then after locking all doors from the inside, when I pull the driver door handle from the inside, they all unlock again. Same if I pull the passenger side. But if I unlock the car by entering via the driver's door and then lock from the inside, then pulling the inside handle only unlocks that door - driver or passenger - not all of them. The rear seat still can't unlock itself by pulling in any scenario (just like the Honda).
Now back to wasting time on other stuff...

So I got a chance to check out how the door handles work on the Honda in comparison. When locked from the inside, none of the doors can be opened by pulling the handle, not even drivers. If you don't use the master unlock, you have to flip the door lock first to open any door and that only unlocks that individual door.

I did setup mine in the same way, driver door only, for unlock.
