Childproof Locks for the Rear Doors
In addition to standard or power locks, your vehicle has
childproof locks for the rear doors. If you set these locks, the
rear doors cannot be opened from the inside of the vehicle. The
doors can still be opened from the outside if the doors are
unlocked.
The childproof locks for the rear door
To set the childproof lock on each rear door, open the rear
door.
Find the lever at the black label with word LOCKED in white
letters. Move the lever toward the inside of the door.
To release the childproof lock, open the rear door from the
outside.
