Where is the child lock on Changan Oshan X5?

There are generally two types of child locks on 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. To open the door, the operation differs between mechanical and electronic switches: 1. Mechanical switch: After locking the door with the mechanical switch, you need to press the door button to unlock it first, then pull the rear door handle to open the door. 2. Electronic switch: Using the electronic switch is more convenient; you only need to turn the switch button on. Related information: While the car is in motion, children sitting in the rear may accidentally open the door, posing a certain danger. The child lock effectively prevents this risk. Once the child lock is engaged, the door can only be opened from the outside. If the rear door cannot be opened from the inside, it may be because the child lock's safety mechanism was activated when passengers were getting in or out. In such cases, the child lock needs to be reset.
I have a Changan Oshan X5 at home, which I often use for family trips with my kids. The child lock is located on the side of the rear door. To operate it, open the rear door and you'll find a small metal or plastic rotary knob icon near the door lock. Turn it counterclockwise to activate the locking function, and turn it clockwise back to unlock. This prevents children from opening the door from the inside while allowing normal operation from the outside, ensuring safety. I make it a habit to check and confirm this before every drive to avoid any accidents caused by my little one playing with it. Additionally, I recommend regularly cleaning the switch area with a soft cloth to prevent dust buildup, and avoid using hard objects to touch it in winter to prevent cracking. Developing this habit really brings peace of mind, especially during long trips.
