How to Set Up Tesla Child Lock?

There is a child safety lock on the rear doors. On the touchscreen, tap Controls > Locks > Child Lock to activate it. Introduction to Car Child Lock: The child lock on motor vehicle doors, also known as child safety lock, is located on the rear door locks. When children are riding in the vehicle, the child lock on the rear doors should be activated. Once engaged, it prevents children from opening the doors while the vehicle is in motion, ensuring their safety and avoiding potential accidents during the journey. Notes on Car Child Lock: When using the child safety lock, first open the rear door, gently push the small lever below the door lock toward the direction with the child icon, and then close the door. At this point, the child safety device is in the locked state, and the door can only be opened from the outside. The interior door handle will temporarily lose its function to open the door.
As a family user who frequently travels with children, I find Tesla's child lock settings incredibly simple and practical. After opening the car door and sitting in the driver's seat, simply start the vehicle and tap the 'Controls' icon on the central touchscreen. Swipe down to locate the 'Locks' option, where you'll find the child lock switches for the left and right rear doors. A light tap activates the lock for the desired door, with immediate system response. From my experience, it's best to personally test the rear door handles from inside the vehicle to ensure they don't open after setup. Tesla's electronic design is far more convenient than traditional mechanical locks - no tiny holes to locate or tools required. Importantly, activating child locks automatically disables the corresponding rear window controls, preventing children from operating the windows. This integrated feature is very thoughtful, and I recommend checking window switch status after setup. For safety, always configure these settings when parked rather than while driving.
