What is the reason why the right rear door of Geely Vision X3 cannot be opened from the inside?

Geely Vision X3's right rear door cannot be opened from the inside due to the child lock being engaged. Solution: After opening the door, locate the child lock lever below the door lock in the middle section and flip it upwards to deactivate. Child Safety Lock: The child safety lock (car child safety lock) is an active safety device designed to ensure the safety of child passengers, preventing the danger of children accidentally opening the door from inside while the vehicle is in motion. When the child safety lock is engaged, even if the central locking system is electrically unlocked, the child safety mechanism remains locked, allowing the door to be opened only from the outside, temporarily disabling the interior door handle.
I have to say that the issue with the right rear door of this Geely Vision X3 not opening from the inside is most likely due to the child safety lock being activated. Geely vehicles have this feature designed into the rear doors to prevent children from accidentally opening them. Once engaged, the door cannot be opened from the inside. Additionally, the mechanical components of the door lock itself might be stuck, such as a loose or rusted cable causing stiffness, especially after prolonged use where dust accumulates and lubrication is insufficient, leading to this problem.
I recommend checking for a small switch on the edge of the rear door, usually a knob or lever type, to see if it's in the locked position—try turning it off. If that doesn’t work, apply some lubricant to the lock mechanism or have a quick inspection at a repair shop. Don’t delay, as someone could get trapped inside in an emergency, which would be troublesome.
By the way, I’ve repaired similar models before, and many owners encounter this issue. It’s usually a simple fix, so don’t worry about high costs. Regularly cleaning door components during maintenance can prevent this situation and avoid unexpected disruptions to daily travel.
