Child Safety Lock Malfunction Indicators

Child Safety Locks

These are Child Safety Lock Malfunction Indicator symbols. If the vehicle is equipped with a button on the driver’s door that activates the system, press it again. If the warning light or lights persist, have the system serviced as soon as possible.

• But first, are you sure this is your symbol?? If yes, then continue on below.
• Otherwise return to our main Picture Symbols page and scan again!

This version indicates that the Child Safety Lock is on. If the letter L or R is seen with it, it indicates which door is locked. When turned on, the Child Safety Lock system disables the function of both the inner door handles and power window switches for the rear doors. It is an important safety feature designed to protect curious children from injury while passengers in a vehicle.

Cars are changing, and among those changes is the growing number of symbols and indicators that will invariably show up on your dashboard or instrument panel. Every year, new features are added to vehicles, each of which is accompanied by a new symbol or symbols and likely a new acronym.

At DashboardSymbols.com, our aim is to help you understand what is happening to your vehicle at the first sign of trouble – a new warning light illuminated on your instrument panel. Its all here on this website. Our first intention is to bring the latest technologies down to earth and understandable for everyday drivers.
