Activating and deactivating child safety locks
The child safety locks prevent children from being able to open a rear door from the inside. There is an electric* and a manual lock.
Activating and deactivating electrically*
The electric child safety locks can be activated and deactivated in all ignition positions higher than 0. Activation and deactivation can be performed up to 2 minutes after switching off the engine, provided that no door is opened.
Start the engine or choose an ignition position higher than 0.
Press the button in the driver's door control panel.
The driver display shows the message Rear child lock Activated and the button's lamp illuminates - the locks are active.
When the electric child safety lock is active then the rear:
- windows can only be opened with the driver's door control panel
- doors cannot be opened from inside.
To deactivate the locks:
Press the button in the driver's door control panel.
The driver display shows the message Rear child lock Deactivated and the button's lamp goes out - the locks are deactivated.
The current setting is stored when the engine is switched off - if the child safety locks are activated at engine shutdown, the function will remain activated the next time the engine is started.
| Symbol | Message | Specification |
|---|---|---|
 | Rear child lock Activated | Child safety locks are activated. |

Activating and deactivating manually
Use the remote control key's detachable key blade to turn the knob.
 | The door is blocked against opening from the inside. |

Note
- A door's knob control only blocks that particular door - not both rear doors simultaneously.
- Cars with an electric child safety lock do not have a manual child lock.
