Where is the child safety lock on the Ford Focus?

The child safety lock on the Ford Focus is located on the rear doors. Open the door and you will see a keyhole on the inner side, which can be unlocked directly with the car key. Taking the 2021 Ford Focus as an example, it is a compact car with body dimensions of 4647mm in length, 1810mm in width, and 1468mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2705mm. The fuel tank capacity is 53 liters, and the curb weight is 1245kg. The 2021 Ford Focus features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 122PS, a maximum power of 90kW, and a maximum torque of 153Nm, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.
As a long-time Focus owner, I can clearly tell you that the child safety lock is located on the inner edge of the rear door, where there's a small toggle switch. You need to operate it manually—just flip the switch downward on whichever door you want to lock. I always make it a habit to check this spot before driving, especially when taking kids out. Once locked, the door can't be opened from the inside, so no worries about kids fiddling with the handle. However, adults will have to open the door from the outside, which is a bit inconvenient but safety comes first. After locking, I always ask family members to try opening the door from inside to ensure it's properly secured before driving.
