Where is the child lock on the CRV?

Honda XRV child safety lock switch is located on the inner side edge of the rear door, visible upon opening. Slide the operating lever inside the rear door to the locked position, then close the door. When opening the door, use the exterior door handle. Below is relevant information about child door locks: Honda XRV child door locks are designed for rear doors to prevent the danger of doors being opened from inside while the vehicle is in motion. When this feature is activated, even if the electronic central door lock is disengaged, the mechanism remains locked. To open the rear door, you must use the exterior door handle switch when the central locking system is unlocked.
I remember the child lock on my CR-V's rear door is right by the door frame, a small black lever or switch-shaped thing. Specifically, you can see it in the latch area on the side after opening the rear door. The operation is very simple—just flip it to the locked position by hand, and the child won't be able to open the door. To unlock, just flip it back. When I first bought the car, my child was very active, and discovering this safety feature saved me a lot of worry. I recommend testing the door from the inside after activating the child lock to confirm it works, avoiding any misoperation. The design is quite user-friendly and also helps prevent items from accidentally falling out the window. During regular maintenance, clean that area to prevent dust buildup from affecting its sensitivity.
