Where is the child lock located on the Vios door?

Vios door child lock is located on the side of the rear door. Both rear doors are equipped with child locks. When locked, the door can be opened from the inside. The car child lock, also known as the door lock child safety device, is installed on the rear door lock of the car, mainly for the safety of children. Once locked, the door cannot be opened from the inside, only from the outside. The Vios is an entry-level family car specially designed and developed by Toyota for the Asian market. The car has a length, width, and height of 4435mm, 1700mm, and 1490mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2550mm. In terms of appearance, the Vios does not have much personality, but it is very harmonious overall, with rounded lines, a cute front face, and tail lights with fish scale patterns, which are not lacking in delicacy.
I've been driving a Vios for several years and often use the child lock when taking my kids to prevent them from opening the doors randomly. The lock is located on the inner edge of the rear door. You need to open the rear door and look near the door edge (where the metal latch engages when closing the door). There's a small toggle switch that can be operated with a key or your finger. It's simple to use: once toggled, children can't open the door from the inside—it can only be opened from the outside. The first time I used it, I didn't notice its location, but after careful inspection, I found it hidden next to the metal part—not very obvious but very practical. For safety, it's essential to activate it when children sit alone in the back seat to prevent accidental door opening while driving, which could be dangerous. For maintenance, I recommend cleaning the switch annually to avoid dust buildup and applying some rust remover for lubrication. Vios' design is quite user-friendly—simple yet effective for safety. All parents should familiarize themselves with it.
