Video tutorial

This video demonstrates how to easily activate the internal door lock designed as a safety measure for children. When travelling with children in the rear seats, you may want to ensure they do not accidentally open the doors.

You can activate the child safety lock. Once the rear door is opened, just below the hinge, you will notice a small red lock; this lock is intended to activate the safety lock.

Insert the key and turn the lock towards the inside of the door to activate the child safety lock.
