Both. There is a mechanical lever in the door itself in area where door closes that disables the inside but not outside handle in each rear door. There is a button on drivers door rest that locks/unlocks all doors electrically. They operate independently. With the mechanical latch only on lock you can get in back but not out with normal door handles. With electrically locked you cannot get in or out with door handles till driver electrically releases it. Clear as mud? Basically this system is standard in most cars of any significance today, including auto locking of all doors electrically without any input from occupants several minutes after car is put in gear and starts moving. Electrically fail safe so if electric supply fails the latches become electrically unlocked and inside lock lever can be moved by hand. In that case if the child lever in rear door(s) is set locked the child still cannot get out but anyone outside can get in. Any adult in rear locked in in such a circumstance could easily reach forward and open a front door, climb out and then open rear door. If the bad event caused a rear door window to break it would be easy to reach out the hole and open the door.
