Why can't the rear door of the New Baojun RS3 be opened?
2 Answers
New Baojun RS3 rear door may not open because the child lock is in the activated state. Reasons for door lock mechanism failure: 1. Door lock cable malfunction. When this occurs, the door cannot be opened from inside the vehicle as the faulty cable directly affects the lock mechanism. In such cases, the only solution is to replace the door lock cable to restore door functionality. 2. Central locking system activation. If the door won't open, try unlocking and relocking with the key twice. Then locate the central locking button on the front left door trim panel in the driver's compartment, press the unlock button, and attempt to open the problematic door again. Function of child safety locks: Child locks prevent curious or active children from opening doors during transit, ensuring safety. When engaged, doors can only be opened from outside by adults after parking. If your vehicle's rear door cannot be opened from inside but functions normally outside, this likely indicates activated child locks - possibly triggered by rear passengers during entry/exit. Simply reset the safety mechanism to resolve.
I just drove the new Baojun RS3, and it's quite common for the rear door not to open—80% of the time it's because the child lock wasn't properly disengaged. I ran into this situation last time and got really nervous, thinking the door was broken. But upon checking, I found out that the small button on the inner side of the door had been pressed to lock it, and a manual twist would unlock it. If it's an electrical issue, it might be due to a short circuit caused by a loose sensor or water-damaged wiring. I recommend first checking if there's any debris stuck near the door edge that could affect opening and closing. If the problem persists, inspect the fuse box or door lock mechanism for rust or damage—don’t yank the handle too hard, as it could break parts. Lastly, remember to regularly maintain the door system by applying lubricant to prevent issues. Otherwise, you might end up with a stuck door while driving, which could be a big hassle—safety first! Now that I think about it, it's best to flip through the manual when you get a new car and learn how to adjust the child lock settings.
