Where is the child lock?
2 Answers
Child lock is located below the rear door lock. The operation method is: 1. Open the small toggle safety mechanism below the rear door lock; 2. Toggle it to the end with the child icon; 3. Close the door, at this time the door cannot be opened from inside, only from outside. The function of child lock is: When there are children in the rear seats, it can prevent children from opening the door during driving, thus avoiding danger. There are two types of child locks: rotary knob type and toggle type. The rotary knob type child lock requires inserting a key into the corresponding hole to rotate the knob switch for locking and unlocking operations, which is more complex than the toggle type child lock.
As a parent who frequently travels with children, I pay special attention to the location of child safety locks when driving. Most cars have a dedicated switch on the edge of the rear doors. You need to open the rear door and look for a small toggle or knob near the door frame, then switch it to the locked position so children inside cannot open the door. This feature is extremely important as it prevents children from accidentally opening the door while the car is moving. Some newer cars have upgraded to electric child locks, located on the driver's door armrest or center console, allowing one-touch control. I always check if it's enabled before every trip with my kids. Don’t forget to refer to the owner’s manual, as designs vary by brand—for example, Volkswagen’s rear door locks are often above the handle, while Japanese cars may have them on the side. Always test the lock after enabling it to ensure it works properly—safety comes first.
