Ok Guys, first I want to confess that I'm dumbass 3000 because: 
My back door form the passenger side has a problem I can't open from the outside (maybe there is some moisture).
Now, I accidentally turned on the "safety button" from the inside (there is a small clip and this prevents the door open from the inside, maybe for a children safety) and closed the door
And now I can't open neither from inside or outside......
Is there any solution for this problem ? Thanks for the help

have you tried removing rear seats and then door panel
unfortunatly i dont think  there is any other way

[bootie]

When you say you can't open from the outside, what exactly is happening?
Are you able to lift the handle and nothing happens or is it that you can't lift the handle?

Try getting someone to lift the handle outside and push the door from the inside.

I fear that you may have a linkage that has dropped off for the outside handle and now have disabled the inside handle so it means you will likely have to damage something to get it open

2 options IMO.

First option, remove the door card inside (you may well have to damage the card to get it off without being able to open the door) for which you might need to remove the seat.

Second option (and this isn't guaranteed to work) would be to prise the handle out on the outside and see if you can reach the lever for opening the door. Then, as above, operate the leaver and get someone to help by pushing from the inside once you have operated the lever.

I hope someone will give an answer that doesn't involve damage though

I can lift a handle but nothing happens

You see yesterday it was ok with the doors. How this linkage dropped off ?

Not an expert but it could be the central locking solenoid which has stuck in "dead lock" mode.

Still means door card has to come off though.

YES !!! Great news ! The problem is fixed by it self.
Today we have cold weather (-5c). So I opened a door from outside and I turned off this "child safety button".
I think there is a moisture on the locking system that's why lock mechanism is struggling to work correctly (I have a similar problem with driver's door).
When we will have a good weather I will definitely remove old grease and put a new.
So thank you all for the help !

Brilliant news, now the lesson has been learned - you will sort the problem before it happens again - won't you? 

[supersaw]

definitely

Good man. I hope you can source spares OK over there, plenty of breakers on here, but the cost of postage is prohibitive.
