What is the reason why the rear door of the Teana cannot be opened from inside the car?

If the car door cannot be opened from inside, it is generally caused by the activation of the side child lock switch, which can be deactivated from the main console. Below are the reasons why the rear door of the Teana cannot be opened from inside the car: Child lock activation: Open the rear door of the car, locate the child safety lock. To turn the car child lock on and off, simply operate the switch on the side of the rear door, which is labeled 'on' and 'off'. Push it to the designated position. Child lock deactivation: Move the control switch under the rear door lock left or right to deactivate the child lock. When the child lock is activated, the rear door cannot be opened from inside the car and can only be opened from the outside switch, fully ensuring the safety of children inside the car.
My Teana also had this issue before, where the rear door couldn't be opened from inside. Most of the time, it's caused by the child safety lock. I remember one weekend when I took my kids out, I activated the child lock switch after getting in the car. When we arrived, I couldn't push the door open from inside and panicked, thinking the car was broken. The Teana's child lock is usually located on the edge of the rear door or door frame. After opening the door, you'll see a switch or knob – just turn it to deactivate the lock. If it's not the child lock, it might be a stuck door lock mechanism, like a broken or rusted internal linkage, or wiring issues causing the electronic lock to fail. At the time, I did a quick check myself – sometimes gently tapping near the lock area can temporarily fix it. But it's best to get a full inspection at a repair shop to avoid bigger problems that could disrupt your trip later. Leaving it like this long-term can accelerate wear on the door handle. I recommend checking regularly to make sure the child lock hasn't been accidentally activated.
