Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Electrical Child-Proof Lock (Option)
Child-proof locking disengages the rear internal door handles. The switch is on the control panel in the driver's door. The rear window lift mechanisms cannot be operated either when the function is activated.
There is a mechanical control as standard that can be switched on if you do not want the rear doors to be opened from the inside at all. There is a mechanical lock in each side rear door and switching on the control on the relevant door only affects that door.
