Childproof door locks

When these locks are set, the
rear doors cannot be opened from
the inside.

The rear doors can be opened
from the outside when the doors
are unlocked.

The childproof locks are located on
rear edge of each rear door and
must be set separately for each
door. Setting the lock for one door
will not automatically set the lock for both doors.

Move lock control up to engage the childproof lock.

Move control down to disengage childproof locks.
