Child Lock Indicator
OK to driveTypically White or Amber on the dash
Rear door child locks are engaged — rear doors open from outside only.
What it means
Confirms the mechanical or electronic child locks on the rear doors are on, so they can't be opened from inside. If a rear passenger reports their door 'won't open,' this light is the first thing to check.
Can you keep driving?
Yes — informational.
What to do now
- 1
Toggle the lock: usually a switch on the rear door edge (open the door to see it) or a driver-door button.
- 2
Engage it whenever children ride in the back.
Likely causes
- • Child locks switched on (intentionally or accidentally)
Typical fix cost
$0; a failed electronic lock actuator runs $100–$300
