How to

Hi guys
I have a 2009 MK5 ibiza referance 1.2 which is the basic entry level and i wonder if there is stg to lock the doors for the kids safety while travellling.
my 2 year old sisters daughter has opened the door while we were travelling yesterday

 

[nightflight]

There's buttons near the hazard light switch, in front of the gear stick which are for locking/unlocking the doors.
If i remember correctly, earlier in this thread is the procedure to activate the "auto-lock" whereby the doors lock as soon as you drive above a certain speed.

alternatively, i've not looked, but there's usually a switch on the middle bit of the rear doors to activate the kiddie lock, ie they can only be opened from the outside

 

[yusuf_1977]

thanx for the reply nightflight.
auto lock is working on my car no problem with that but thats only for outside locking you can open the car from inside when its auto locked.

 

[jc_boc]

There should be a little thing inside the door just below the lock. Like a little stick type thing showing that you can either move up or dow. Used to be like that on older cars unless they have changed it. Mines 3 door so I can't check unfortunately.

I am assuming you are refering to child proof locks on the rear doors. If so open the rear door. On the inside edge of the door just above the door lock you will see a switch which can be operated with your ignition key, this activates the child proof locking on the rear doors.

Incidentally, this is well documented in the owners manual !

so it is not possible to the it with the central locking system hmmm

 

[jc_boc]

Nope, it is a manual thing unfortunately and biker hit the nail on the head. That was exactly what I was talking about. Didn't realise it works off the keay now, wow!
