I had a funny issue last night. For the 1st time, I had people in the back seat. For the life of me, I could get them to open the rear seat doors from the inside.

I tried everything imaginable. It was starting to drive me nuts, so I read the manual:)

If you open the rear doors from the outside, there is a little switch on the car where the door closes that can make it impossible to open the rear seats from the inside.

I hit this switch and it now works fine.

Why my dealer sold the car with the rear doors permanently shut leaving the owners to hunt down how to close them is beyond me:)

Never heard of rear child safety locks? ;) I think most, if not all 4 door cars have them.

That's the childproof lock, which has been on cars for awhile. Of course you wouldn't know if you never had to use them. Someone probably tried them or played around with them at the dealer. They probably never check for this.
 
I've never seen one inside of the rear doors themselves. My last car is a 2005 Accord that I bought new:)

What's this feature for? Kidnapping people?:)
 
It’s to keep small children from opening the rear doors from inside the car. It’s a pretty standard feature on most cars these days.

Those are safety switches. We have a child with autism. Without that feature which prevents her from opening the door she'd open it and run out into traffic. Every car I've owned in the past 30 years has had them.

...wait (15-20 seconds or so) for the driver console animation to go away after entering the car before you start it...

Actually, you don't need to wait that long at all. You just have to wait until the Honda logo disappears which only takes about 5 seconds or so.
