Rear Door Child-Protector Lock

The child-protector lock is designed to prevent the rear doors from being opened accidentally from inside the vehicle. The child-protector locks on the rear doors should be used whenever children are in the vehicle.
1. Open the tailgate.
2. Turn the child-protector lock (1) located on the rear edge of the door to the lock (
) position. When the child-protector lock is in the locked position, the rear door will not open even if 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 until the child-protector lock on the rear door is unlocked.
WARNING - Rear Door Locks
Use the child-protector locks on the rear doors when children are in the vehicle. If a child accidentally opens the rear doors while the vehicle is moving, they may fall out.
