Why can't the rear door of the Hongqi H5 be opened from the inside?

The reason why the rear door of the Hongqi H5 cannot be opened from the inside is that the child lock function is activated. Below are the specific details about the child lock: 1. How to use: When you need to use the child safety lock, first open the rear door, gently push the small lever below the door lock towards the direction with the child icon, and then close the door. 2. Function: When the child safety device is in the locked state, the door can only be opened from the outside, and the door handle inside temporarily loses its function to open the door. When the car child safety lock is in the locked state, even if the central lock is unlocked, it will still remain locked and can only be opened from the outside. If you find that the rear door cannot be opened from the inside while it works normally from the outside, you should check if the child safety lock was accidentally activated.
I've encountered this situation before. Once when I was giving friends a ride, they couldn't open the rear doors no matter how hard they tried, and I was puzzled too. Later, I discovered that the Hongqi H5 has a small, inconspicuous toggle on the rear doors called the child safety lock. It's easy to accidentally engage it while washing the car. To unlock it, you need to insert the car key into that small hole and turn it 90 degrees clockwise. Also, remember to check if the door handle is stuck due to spilled drinks or if the door seal is pressed too tightly. There's another detail about this car: after coming to a complete stop, you need to pull the handle twice—the first time releases the safety lock, and the second time allows you to push the door open. New drivers often make the mistake of pulling only once.
