Where is the child lock on the Elysee car door?

Elysee car door child lock is located below the lock on the rear door, which is on the side of the door. Both doors have it, and you can switch it by moving it up and down. The following is a related introduction to car child safety locks: 1. There are two common types of child safety lock switches, one is a rotary type and the other is a toggle type. The toggle type child safety lock is more convenient to use. 2. The car child safety lock is a function set to prevent children from accidentally opening the car door and causing harm. Generally, child locks are installed on both rear doors. When the child lock function is activated, it is either on the rear door lock block or a small device outside the lock block. The rear door cannot be opened from the inside but can be opened from the outside. When the child lock function is deactivated, the door can be opened from both inside and outside. This function is particularly necessary when the vehicle is driving at high speed.
As a dad who drives a Elysee, I'm quite familiar with child locks! They're located right on the edge of the rear doors. Open the rear door and take a close look at the side of the door frame—you'll see a silver knob with a little child icon. Use your car key or a coin to turn the knob 90 degrees in the groove until you hear a click, and it's locked. Once, my daughter was sitting in the back and suddenly tried to open the door at a red light, which scared me into checking the child lock immediately. Remember to confirm the knob's position before every trip, especially when driving with kids. Also, a quick reminder: both rear doors have independent locks, so make sure to test the inner handle to ensure it doesn’t open after locking. This feature really prevents kids from opening doors while driving—it’s a lifesaver in critical moments!
With over a decade of car repair experience, I've encountered many parents asking about child lock locations. On the Elysee model, there's a coin-sized metal knob near the rear door lock mechanism, usually hidden beside the door seal. Simply insert your mechanical key into the slot and turn it fully towards the door-closing direction to engage. To disengage, turn it back in the opposite direction. Two key points to note: First, after locking, ensure the inner door handle becomes completely inoperative. Second, dust accumulation during rainy days may cause the knob to jam. It's recommended to apply lubricant every six months for maintenance, as this mechanism directly relates to child safety. By the way, if elderly passengers frequently sit in the rear seats, it's best to explain the child lock function in advance to prevent them from panicking when unable to open the door.
