Power Door Locks; Childproof Locks For The Rear Doors (4-Door And Wagon Models) - Ford 1996 Escort Manual

Power Door Locks (If equipped)
When you close the doors after you lock them
with the power door locks, the doors remain
locked. If the power mechanism ever fails, the
manual door locks will override the power locks.
NOTE: Vehicles equipped with power locks
have a safety feature which allows you
to unlock one or both front doors from
either door lock key cylinder.

In addition to standard or power locks, your
vehicle has childproof locks for the rear doors. If
you set these locks, the rear doors cannot be
opened from the inside of the vehicle. The doors
can still be opened from the outside when the
lock knobs are raised.
