What to Do When the Car Door Won't Open from Inside or Outside?

[DelVera]

The car door won't open because the central locking system is engaged or the child lock is activated. Here are the specific causes and solutions: Central Locking System Engaged: When the car door won't open, first try unlocking it with the car key, then lock it again, repeating this twice. Then locate the central lock button on the left front door trim panel of the driver's seat, press the unlock button, and try opening the stuck door again to see if it works. Child Lock Activated: If you accidentally close the door directly after engaging the child lock, the door won't open. Therefore, always check if the child lock is disengaged before closing the door.
