How to set the child lock on Audi Q3?
2 Answers
Open the rear door of the car and locate the child safety lock (toggle-type child safety lock). Move the toggle switch of the child safety lock to the end with the child lock symbol. Close the door. Repeat the previous 3 steps for the other side door. Have a rear passenger check if the rear doors can be opened. Once verified, you can drive with peace of mind.
I've learned from experience driving my Audi Q3 with kids that the child safety lock is located on the side of the rear doors. If you look closely, there's a small round hole with a key symbol near the door edge – insert your car key and turn clockwise to lock, counterclockwise to unlock. The most crucial step is testing after each lock! Pull the interior door handle twice to confirm it's truly locked. Remember to set both doors separately – I once forgot one side, and my kid nearly opened the door on the highway. The electronic child lock is more convenient, accessible through the central control screen's vehicle settings menu under 'door locks' to activate rear window control lock. However, the physical lock is more reliable – having both as a double safety measure brings peace of mind.
