Subaru Ascent 2018-2026 Owner's Manual: Child safety locks

Subaru Ascent rear door child safety lock lever position lock and unlock diagram

The Subaru Ascent is equipped with child safety locks on each rear door, providing an additional level of protection for young passengers.

When the child safety lock lever is set to the "LOCK" position, the rear door cannot be opened from the inside. It can only be opened from the outside, preventing accidental door opening by children.

WARNING

Always activate the child safety locks in your Subaru Ascent when children are seated in the rear seats. Failure to do so may result in serious injury if a child accidentally opens the door while the vehicle is in motion.

Proper use of Subaru Ascent safety systems such as the alarm configuration and child safety locks significantly enhances both vehicle security and passenger protection in everyday driving conditions.
