Hello,
in slight panic as toddlers are both trying to open doors on our car, the previous owners had one child lock on but we need both as we have a baby in the middle seat and so the toddlers are on the outer seats. I have read the manual and tried to turn where they said with the key but I was worried I was going to snap the key. Does anyone know how to do the smax childlocks? am i meant to use a screwdriver?

Really appreciate any help

What year is it?

Sounds like an older model, get a strong sturdy flat head screw driver and then do it. If the other owners never used the child locks they coul have seized and might need a bit more strength than the key alone.

Yeh try a screwdriver. I think yours is old shape so youve got white key holes inside the door?

yes, that's right - the white things

Skoosh a bit of wd40 in there and leave it a few mins. If it's stiff then that should help.
