Rear Door Child-Protector Lock

The child-protector lock helps prevent children from accidentally opening the rear doors from inside the vehicle. The rear door child-protector locks should be used whenever children are in the vehicle.
1. Open the tailgate.
2. Insert the key (or a screwdriver) into the hole and turn it to the lock (
) position (1). The child lock is located on the rear edge of the door. When the child lock is in the lock position, the rear door will not open even when the inside door handle is pulled.
3. Close the rear door.
To open the rear door, pull the outside door handle (2).
Even if the doors are unlocked, the rear door will not open by pulling the inside door handle while the child-protector lock on the rear door is locked.
