How do I use the child safety locks in my Ford?

Child safety locks prevent rear-seat occupants from opening the rear doors from the inside.

Manual Child Safety Locks 

The manual childproof locks are located on the rear edge of each rear door and must be set separately for each door.

  • Left-Hand Side: Turn counterclockwise to lock and clockwise to unlock.
  • Right-Hand Side: Turn clockwise to lock and anti-clockwise to unlock.

Automatic Child Safety Locks

If your vehicle is equipped with remote childproof locks, use your door controls to:

  • Turn childproof locks on by pressing the switch.
  • Turn childproof locks off by pressing the switch again.

Remote Child Safety Lock switch on door controls

Note: You cannot use the rear power window switches with the remote child safety locks on.
