2011 Acura RDX child lock

When the vehicle speed reaches
about 9 mph (about 15 km/h) or
more, all the doors lock
automatically.
You can change the‘‘AUTO DOOR
LOCK ’’setting on the multi-
information display (see page 103).
When you shift to P after driving, the
driver's door unlocks.
You can change the ‘‘AUTO DOOR
UNLOCK ’’setting on the multi-
information display (see page 111). To lock any passenger's door when
getting out of the vehicle, pull
backward on the lock tab and close
the door. To lock the driver's door,
remove the key from the ignition
switch and pull backward on the lock
tab. Then close the door.
Lockout PreventionWith the driver's door open and the
key in the ignition, both master door
lock switches are disabled. They are
not disabled if the driver's door is
closed. Pushing the switch down on
the open front passenger's door will
lock all doors and the tailgate.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, push the lock tab forward and
use the outside door handle.
