Child safety locks are unique systems installed on the rear doors of most vehicles. They are especially relevant on family autos, such as the new Chrysler Pacifica and Grand Caravan - providing peace of mind to Alberta parents. When engaged, these features prevent passengers (especially curious young children) from interacting with the lock from the inside, whether the auto is in motion or stationary. This assures a safer driving experience for all.
While most vehicles offer these child safety devices, each model has a different way of engaging them. Some rely on a switch on the edge of the door. You can find this by opening it and looking along the side for a lever with a sign above it saying on-off or lock-unlock.Â
Other autos instead have electronic controls on the steering wheel, the driver's door, or a different location in the front. If the child lock switch isn't immediately visible, you can find it by referencing the manufacturer's manual.
