My Nissan Versa has manual locks that do not unlock when the door handle is pulled from the inside, to include front doors (not a child safety lever issue). Granted, they’re manual so it’s easy to just unlock but from a human factors perspective I can see people panicking and just yanking on the door handle in a critical emergency like a fire.
I’ve always considered this a serious safety design flaw.
- mauvehaus 5y agoThat's how pretty much all car doors worked for decades. As a kid I used to lock the back doors when riding around and pull the handle [0]. No, the child safety locks were not enabled. [0] Why? Why do kids do anything, really?
- bumby 5y agoI’m not sure this is a given. My previous Ford would unlock the front door when the indoor handle was pulled, regardless of lock state. It seems like it’s depends on manufacturer, model, and options package. https://mechanics.stackexchange.com/questions/52480/is-the-drivers-door-supposed-to-unlock-from-inside https://mechanics.stackexchange.com/questions/52480/is-the-d...
