How to Open the Rear Door from Inside the Car?
2 Answers
Generally, whether it's the front or rear seats, the interior door switches are basically similar in shape. There are mainly two methods for opening the door: one is to first unlock the locking switch and then pull the interior handle; the other is to pull the interior handle twice in succession. The correct methods for opening the door are as follows: 1. Two-step opening method: The driver or passenger, after ensuring the surroundings are safe, first opens the door slightly to create a small gap, then turns their head to check the rear situation. If it is confirmed safe, they can then fully push the door open to exit. 2. Dutch reach method: Use the hand farthest from the door to open it, which naturally turns the upper body, causing the head and shoulders to naturally face outward, making it easier to observe the situation outside the vehicle, thus effectively avoiding 'dooring' accidents.
To open the rear door, you generally just need to pull the door handle from inside the car. The handle is usually located near the inner side of the door panel, and a gentle pull will unlock and open it. However, I must remind you to check if the child safety lock is engaged. It's a small switch on the edge of the door – when activated, the door can't be opened from inside and must be operated from outside. This is mainly to prevent children from accidentally opening doors while moving. Designs may vary between car models. For example, my old car had clearly visible handles, while my new one has hidden or integrated electronic buttons. For safety, it's best to test the door mechanism before driving to ensure smooth operation in case of emergencies. Also, if the car automatically locks while moving, you'll need to unlock all doors first before opening the rear one. I recommend familiarizing yourself with your car's door system regularly – don't let minor issues cause major inconveniences.
