Where is the child lock located on a Cadillac?

Cadillac's rear door child lock is located on the inner edge of the rear door. More information about child locks: 1. There are generally two types of child locks for car doors: one is an electronic lock, usually located in the window button area on the driver's side door, and the other is a mechanical switch, typically found on the inner edge of the rear doors. 2. The child safety lock is used for the rear doors of the vehicle to prevent the danger of opening the door from inside while the vehicle is in motion. When this device is activated, even if the electronic central door lock is opened, the device remains in the locked state. 3. The purpose of the child lock is to prevent active and unaware children from opening the door during driving when seated in the rear, thereby avoiding danger. In this case, the door can only be opened from the outside by an adult after the vehicle is parked.
On my Cadillac CT5, the child lock is located at the small switch on the inner edge of the rear door. Specifically, when you open the rear door, you'll see a small knob or toggle switch near the door lock mechanism—some models require a car key or coin to turn it. Once activated, the door can only be opened from the outside, preventing children from accidentally opening it while driving. The position may vary slightly across different Cadillac models; for example, the XT4 has it slightly lower near the door base, while SUV series place it higher for easier access. Safety first—I always check and test the child lock before driving with kids to ensure the door cannot be opened from inside. Remember, the manual in the glove box provides detailed diagrams, and the official website supports entering the VIN to locate the exact position for your specific model. Child locks are essential protection—never overlook this small but critical feature, especially in urban traffic with frequent stops and starts.
