Child safety locks help prevent children from opening the rear doors from inside the vehicle. There is an electric safety lock* and a manual safety lock.

Activating and deactivating electric child safety locks*

The electric child safety lock can be activated and deactivated in any ignition mode higher than 0. The lock can be activated and deactivated up to 2 minutes after the ignition is turned off if no door has been opened.

Turn on the ignition and select any ignition mode higher than 0.

Press the button on the driver's door control panel.

The message Rear child lock Activated will be shown in the instrument panel and the indicator light will illuminate to show that the child safety locks are activated.

When the electric child safety locks are activated:

the rear windows can only be opened using the driver's door control panel
the rear doors cannot be opened from the inside.

The buttons on the right-side rear door will also be deactivated.

To deactivate the child safety locks:

Press the button on the driver's door control panel.

The message Rear child lock Deactivated will be shown in the instrument panel and the indicator light will go out to show that the child safety locks are deactivated.
