Child Safety Locks Locked Me In!

[msaunders9430]

I feel it only appropriate that I type and post this from the second row seat of my Gravity.

My wife and I have five grands; three of whom are little girls under the age of six, other two are teen boys. My youngest son bought me a car seat for one of the three girls (his daughter) as a birthday present. He knows they are a big reason for my purchase of a Gravity. This afternoon I spent time installing a seat cover and that car seat.

After getting everything mostly in place, I pull the door lever to exit the second row. Nothing. Yep. Locked. I had left my phone in the house, so I couldn't bring up the manual or call my wife. I reach to the pilot panel to bring up the manual, but as you may know, the manual is not searchable. Fiddled through the settings on the Pilot Panel. Vehicle/ Doors & Locks. Nothing about child safety locks.

I didn't want to dirty the front seats stepping through from the second row. I eventually took my shoes off and made my way to the front seat.

FYI; Child Locks is accessed from the Quick Controls (tap top of Pilot Panel or pull down).

Man!!!

Their parents would agree.

Both sets of parents of the three girl grands all said I shouldn't let them eat in my car. I probably won't, but then there's always the possible throw-up.

Looking forward to journeys where we exit to eat.
I say that and yet, I know me.
I'll eventually give in, so I have the protective seat cover.

So, the Child Safety Lock control worked as designed! To be released by an adult in the front seat. Thank you, Lucid!

Released in that an adult has to either open the rear door from the outside or turn off the control from the Pilot Panel.

You didn’t have your fob on you?

Key card.
Wasn't going anywhere.
I relied on the center console not reading the card and it did not disappoint.

I did learn that since the key card is not being recognized by the car for driving, after a period of time, the car shut down. Pulled door handle to wake it up and exit.

Had this happen yesterday. Back seat person was locked in while I was showing off the car and couldn't figure out how to open it. Finally walked around the car and opened the door.

Looked thru Settings but forgot to check the pull-down menu.

The odd thing is that 2 days earlier we took someone for a ride and they opened the door fine. I know we didn't (intentionally) change the setting. Likely another random Lucid software gremlin. I also had one of the rear seats fold down on it's own the other day. And the liftgate button wouldn't close the liftgate. Manually pushed it down and heard something loose clunking around inside the door. Manually pushed the liftgate back up, and the button started working again (and no clunking).

New mystery every day.

Could you open the window and open from the outside?

Rear windows in Gravity don’t go down very far. And if the car had shut down, without the fob or mobile key present, the door would not unlock.

Don’t all child locks work the exact same way when activated?

That depends. Technically, if it senses someone in the car, it won’t shut down all the way. Or, it’s not supposed to. You would have to manually lock it from the fob. I’ve actually tried this a number of times as creature comfort didn’t work at first and I always travel with my dog.
