Where is the child lock located on the Envision S?
3 Answers
The Envision S child locks are only available on the two rear doors. They are located next to the lock mechanism and can be seen when the door is opened. How to use the child lock: When you need to use the child safety lock, first open the rear door, then push the small lever below the door lock in the direction of the child icon, and finally close the door. Function of the child lock: When the child safety device is in the locked state, the door can only be opened from the outside, and the interior door handle temporarily loses its opening function. With the car child safety lock engaged, even if the central locking system is unlocked, the door will remain locked and can only be opened from the outside.
As a parent who frequently takes children out, I'm very familiar with the safety features of the Envision S. The child locks are located on the inner edge of each rear door - you'll find a small hole or toggle switch near the door frame when you open it. Simply use your key or finger to flip the switch, which will disable the interior door handle. This design prevents children from accidentally opening doors while driving, especially during stops or at traffic lights, effectively avoiding accidental exits. I find this feature extremely practical and always check if it's engaged before driving, particularly in hot weather when kids tend to move around their seats. Safety first! I recommend new owners ask dealership staff to demonstrate this operation during pickup. Also note that the Envision's child locks are mechanical - remember to clean dust accumulation during maintenance to prolong their lifespan.
When I drove the Envision S before, I paid special attention to the child lock settings because it's located on the inner side of the rear door edge - an inconspicuous toggle switch. The operation is simple: just flip the switch, and the door can't be opened from the inside. I always make sure this feature is activated before carrying children to prevent them from mischievously opening doors during the ride. Safety is crucial - having doors open while the vehicle is moving is extremely dangerous, especially at high speeds or on curves. The Envision's design makes this lock easy to operate without needing to bend over. I've noticed many new car owners overlook this feature, but maintenance is actually hassle-free - just regularly wipe the switch area with a damp cloth to prevent oxidation. This experience has made me more attentive to family travel safety.
