The child lock is a safety device designed for the rear door of a car to prevent children from accidentally opening the door while driving. When enabled, the door can only be opened from the outside, effectively avoiding accidents. However, if it is operated improperly or accidentally touched, it may prevent even adult passengers from opening the door from the inside.
