A vehicle includes a latch mechanism configured to retain a movable interior component when the latch mechanism is latched. A movable latch release is operably connected to the latch mechanism. A bidirectional inertia lock includes an actuator member that unlatches the latch mechanism, and an inertia lock member that moves from an unlocked position to a locked position in response to vehicle acceleration in a fore-aft direction and a side-to-side direction. The inertia lock member prevents movement of the actuator member to the actuated position when the inertia lock member is in the locked position.
