I-CAR · February 15, 2019 · Hyundai, Kia, Land Rover
Summary
This article highlights the industry shift from manual rear door child locks to active, electronic child safety lock systems. These advanced systems can disable rear door handles electronically and integrate with blind spot detection and rear cross-traffic radar sensors to prevent doors from opening when traffic is approaching.
What to do on the job
Verify if the vehicle is equipped with an active child safety lock system when diagnosing rear doors that will not open from the inside, and ensure rear radar sensors are properly calibrated to maintain system functionality.
How to use it
Use this document to justify the necessity of ADAS calibrations (specifically blind spot and rear cross-traffic radar sensors) following rear-end or side-impact repairs, as these sensors directly control the active child safety lock safety feature.
