What to Do If the Rear Door of a Sagitar Won't Open?
2 Answers
If the central lock is in the unlocked state, but the rear door still cannot be opened, it is possible that the child safety lock switch on the door was accidentally activated, causing the child lock to engage and preventing the door from opening. Simply deactivate the child lock to resolve the issue. More details about the Sagitar's rear door are as follows: The child safety lock is designed for the rear doors of the vehicle to prevent the danger of opening the door from inside while the car is in motion. When this feature is engaged, even if the electronic central door lock is unlocked, the door remains locked. To open the rear door, you must use the door handle on the outside of the vehicle while the central door lock is in the unlocked state.
Last time I drove my Sagitar, the rear door wouldn’t open either, and I was sweating with anxiety. It turned out the child lock was accidentally engaged—that small switch on the side of the rear door, shaped like a knob. Check if it’s turned to the off position. If that’s not the issue, the door lock might be stuck. Try gently pushing the door handle or manually operating it with the key a few times. In cold winters, door seams can freeze easily; you can rinse them with lukewarm water, but avoid using water that’s too hot to prevent damaging the paint. The Sagitar’s rear door design is quite reliable, but wear and tear can occur over time. During maintenance, ask the shop to add some lubricant. Electrical issues aren’t uncommon either—a dead battery or central locking malfunction can also affect it. Check the dashboard for any warning lights. Avoid forcing the door open to prevent damage to the body structure. If you can’t resolve it yourself, it’s safer to visit a professional shop—safety comes first when driving.
