Guide to Using the 2016 Mazda CX-9 Child Door Locks
To make things easy, here is a quick step-by-step guide to operating the child door locks on your Mazda CX-9.
- First, locate the child safety locks on the edge of the rear door. Finding them will require you to open the door, and you should be able to spot them on the inner door edge facing toward the rear of the vehicle.
- Flip the switch from the unlock to the lock position. Then, close the door.
- Move to the other side of the vehicle and follow the same procedure in step #2. It’s recommended that you use the child safety locks on both rear doors, regardless of how many child passengers there are or where a child is seated.
When the child safety locks are set to the lock position and the door is closed, passengers will not be able to open the door from the inside of the vehicle. You can, however, open the door from the outside with no trouble at all.
