Where is the car safety lock switch located?

Car child lock, also known as door lock child safety, is set on the rear door lock of the car. After opening the rear door, there is a small lever (safety mechanism) below the door lock. Switch it to the end with the child icon, and then close the door. At this time, the door cannot be opened from the inside, but only from the outside. Introduction to safety lock: 1. Introduction: The child safety lock is an active safety device designed to ensure the safety of child passengers. If the child safety lock is engaged, the central locking system's electric unlock will also be disabled. The door can only be opened from the outside, and the interior door handle will temporarily lose its function. 2. Switch types: Currently, child safety locks in cars come in two types: rotary knob and toggle switch. Comparatively, the toggle switch is simpler to operate, while the rotary knob is slightly more complicated but offers higher safety. For central locking systems or automatic locking while driving, they do enhance the safety of rear-seat children to some extent. However, it's important to note that they can still be unlocked via interior switches, so engaging the child safety lock is the only way to ensure complete peace of mind while driving.
Last time I took my nephew out for a drive, the child safety lock switch was usually located at that small mechanism on the car door, typically near where the door meets the car body, like around the rear door latch. For example, in my Toyota Corolla, it's on that small black lever inside the door—just flip it to lock and prevent opening from inside. The location is generally similar in both sedans and SUVs, making it easy to find. Remember to use the key or manual operation. I always check if it's locked before heading out with kids, as it prevents little ones from accidentally opening doors. Safety is crucial, especially at high speeds. I recommend new car owners check their manual for the exact location, as it varies slightly between brands. In short, make it a habit to regularly check if the feature works properly—it's time well spent.
