How to turn off the child lock on a Kia K4?

Kia K4 is equipped with child safety locks on the rear seats, which can be opened and closed by pulling the button position. More information about car child safety locks is as follows: 1. The car child safety lock is a function designed to prevent children from accidentally opening the car door and causing harm to themselves. 2. Generally, child locks are located on the two rear doors. When the child lock function is activated, the rear doors cannot be opened from the inside but can be opened from the outside. When the child lock function is deactivated, the doors can be opened from both inside and outside. 3. There are two common types of child safety lock switches: rotary knob type and toggle type.
Last time I helped to engage the child lock on a Kia K4, I found it quite straightforward. Usually, the child lock is located on the edge of the rear door, near the door latch, with a small switch. I used a small key or a coin to locate and operate that switch. The design of the Kia K4 is such that flipping the switch upwards engages the child lock, and flipping it downwards disengages it. After closing the door, I tested it by pulling the inner handle to ensure the door could open. I think many people forget to open the door first before operating the switch, otherwise, it might scratch the door. Also, after disengaging it, I recommend letting the child test it for safety. Remember, the child lock is designed to prevent children from opening the door from the inside while the car is moving. If you're not traveling with children or if they're older, it's best to turn it off. Every time I work on the car, I remind myself to check the manual in case there are differences between models. Mentioning this during maintenance can help prolong the lifespan of the parts.
