The front and the rear door lock strikers each consist of a striker with two screws threaded into a floating cage plate in the upper/lower center pillar and rear quarter upper trim panel. The door is secured in the closed position when the door lock fork snaps over and engages the striker.
Childproof Rear Door Lock
The childproof rear door locks help prevent passengers, especially children, from opening the rear doors of the vehicle from the inside.
In order to activate these locks, move the levers of both rear doors to the lock position. Then, close both doors. Rear passengers will be unable to open the doors from the inside of the vehicle.
In order to deactivate the childproof rear door lock, unlock the door from the inside of the vehicle and open the door from the outside. Move the lever to the unlock position. The rear door will now work normally.
