Child Safety Door Lock
Is this not a feature of the ML ? I can't find the lock anywhere on the rear doors of my ML nor it mentioned anywhere in the owner's manual.

it is electronic. i think the same switch that turns off the rear window controls affects the way the rear door locks function. there is a switch near the gear shift. when the switch is (to the left, i think) allowing a dot to appear the rear doors are not locked. when the switch is in the other position (a small person appears), the doors can not be opened (or, at least, must be manually unlocked before being opened).

Aha! No wonder my daughter fusses at me about not being able to get out of the ML when the locks are engaged!
That would mean however, that the childproof locks are only functional IF the console switch is set AND the doors are locked...

yes, but your doors lock automatically after you reach 9 or 10 mph (if you have programmed them to do that).

Was programmed that way when new, but the dealership eventually disabled that feature as it was not intended for use in that model year. There were problems with unintentional locking back then...happened twice.

ON my 2001 ml320,
I tried that trick to activate the child saftey locks. I can still open the doors from the inside when the windows are locked. Still doesnt work. Maybe this was a feature only on the earlier models?
