2009 HONDA FIT child lock

The lock tab on each passenger's
door locks and unlocks only that
door. Pushing forward the lock tab
on the driver's door unlocks only that
door. To unlock only the driver's
door from the outside, turn the key
and release it. If you turn it again, the
remaining doors and the tailgate
unlock.
To lock a passenger's door when
getting out of the vehicle, pull the
lock tab rearward and close the door.
To lock the driver's door, remove
key from ignition switch and pull the
lock tab rearward or push the top of
the master door lock switch, then
close the door.
Lockout PreventionIf you forget and leave the key in the
ignition switch, lockout prevention
will not allow you to lock the driver's
door. With any door open and the
key in the ignition switch, locking
with master door lock switch is
disabled. If the driver's door is
closed, the lock tab on the driver's
door is not disabled. Pulling the
driver's lock tab rearward will lock all
doors. If you try to lock an open
driver's door by pulling the lock tab
rearward, the driver's door lock tab
pops out and unlocks the driver's
door.Childproof Door Locks
The childproof door locks are
designed to prevent children seated
in the rear from accidentally opening
the rear doors. Each rear door has a
lock lever near the edge. With the
lever in the LOCK position (lever is
down), the door cannot be opened
from the inside regardless of the
position of the lock tab. To open the
door, pull the lock tab forward and
use the outside door handle.
