Where is the child lock switch on the Regal?

Regal child lock switch is located below the lock on the rear door, that is, on the side of the door, there is a protruding switch, and there is one on each side of the door. The child lock cannot be unlocked from inside the car. You can only lower the window, open the door by hand, and then turn off the child lock. The following is an introduction to the car child lock and the forms of car child locks. Introduction to car child locks: The car child safety lock is a function set to prevent children from accidentally opening the door on the vehicle and causing harm to them. Generally, child locks are on the two rear doors. When the child lock function is turned on, it is on the rear door lock block or a small device outside the lock block. The rear door of the vehicle cannot be opened from the inside, but it can be opened from the outside. When the child lock function is turned off, the vehicle can be opened from both inside and outside. This function is particularly necessary when the vehicle is driving at high speed. If a child accidentally opens the door, the consequences would be unthinkable. Nowadays, most cars have this function. Forms of car child locks: There are two common types of child safety lock switches: one is the rotary type, and the other is the toggle type. Since the rotary child safety lock requires the use of a key or key-like object to insert into the corresponding hole to rotate the switch for locking and unlocking operations. In comparison, the toggle child safety lock is more convenient to use.
A few days ago I helped my cousin deal with this issue. The child locks on the Buick Regal are located on the side of the left and right rear doors. Specifically, you need to open the rear door and look for a small switch with a child symbol near the latch on the door panel. This is a mechanical toggle type that requires using a car key to flip or manually adjusting it. When taking kids out, flipping this to the locked position means the door can only be opened from the outside, preventing children from opening it while the car is moving. It’s a bit annoying to use the key every time to toggle it, but safety comes first. Oh, and be careful in winter—once I had the toggle freeze up on me.
