Honda HR-V 2019 Childproof Door Locks User Manual
Introduction
The Honda HR-V 2019 has a straightforward yet efficient mechanism for childproof door locks that lets the driver engage unique locks on the back doors. When activated, these locks stop kids riding in the back from unintentionally opening the doors while the car is moving. By doing this, parents and other adults who are responsible for children can rest easy knowing that the children are in the back seats where they belong.
