The reason why the rear door of the Changan CS35 cannot be opened is that the child lock is engaged. The child lock prevents children from opening the door while the vehicle is in motion, thereby avoiding potential hazards. Taking the 2017 Changan CS35 Manual Sport model as an example, it belongs to the compact SUV category with the following dimensions: length 4170mm, width 1810mm, height 1670mm, and a wheelbase of 2560mm. The 2017 Changan CS35 Manual Sport is equipped with a 1.5L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 156PS, a maximum power output at 5000rpm, and a maximum torque range between 2000 to 4500rpm.
I also encountered a situation where the rear door of my Changan CS35 suddenly wouldn't open, which is mostly due to a problem with the door lock system. Possible causes include failure of the electronic components in the door lock, such as a malfunctioning control module or motor, especially after rain when dust accumulates in the door gap causing jamming. Or the child lock might have been accidentally activated—this feature prevents children from opening doors inside the car, so check the switch position on the inner side of the door. I've also found that an unresponsive inner door handle is sometimes the culprit; try using the key to open it from the outside a few times to see if it resets. Never force the door open to avoid deforming the door frame. I regularly clean the door lock area to reduce dust buildup, which helps prevent this issue. If you can't fix it yourself, take it to a 4S shop for inspection immediately—safety first.
