The reason why the rear door of the Cadillac CT4 cannot be opened from the inside is that the child lock is activated. Simply deactivate the child lock to open the door. Taking the Cadillac CT4 2021 28T Fashion model as an example: The manufacturer of this car is SAIC General Motors Cadillac, classified as a mid-size car, with an energy type of gasoline, an 8-speed automatic manual transmission, and a body type of 4-door 5-seater sedan. The car's length, width, and height are 4760mm, 1815mm, and 1421mm respectively, with a body type of 4-door 5-seater sedan, an 8-speed automatic manual transmission, a top speed of 220 km/h, and a turbocharged intake form.
I once encountered a situation where the rear door of my Cadillac CT4 couldn't be opened from the inside, which was particularly frustrating. That time when I drove to pick up my child from school, my kid kept pulling the door handle in the back seat but couldn't open it, getting really anxious. Later I learned that the child safety lock was activated – this feature is designed to prevent children from accidentally opening doors, and can only be deactivated by unlocking it from the outside using a key or button. Other common causes include jammed door lock mechanisms, such as loose or broken handle cables; or electronic system failures, like a dead battery causing central locking to malfunction, or winter freezing or debris stuck in the door gap. Checking it yourself is simple: first see if the child lock is enabled, then try whether the rear door can be opened from the outside; if the handle feels loose when pulled, it might be a cable issue. For regular maintenance, I recommend periodically cleaning door locks to avoid debris buildup, and ideally getting a professional inspection every six months to prevent last-minute safety issues.
