Ford Focus 2.0 Ghia - Child Locks & Driver's Handbook

[Jock1953]

Hi Guys, I did not receive a Driver's Handbook when I bought my car second hand. The rear doors have child locks on them and hence cannot be opened from the inside. Any ideas how to remove the child locks. My car is a 51 plate.

Supplementary Question. Any ideas where I can get a Driver's Handbook?

i have the c-max 53 plate and from what i can remember near the door catch there is a white plastic cirle with a slot in. pop key in that and turn.

Thanks redcrx. Unfortunately I have had a look and my door frame is not like you described. Nowhere to insert a key. Also had a look at the handbook link and it says the same as you.
Any other ideas anyone?

is there any lever?

A key slot on rear edge of each rear door .. or small lever on the latch mechanism.
One or the other.

Hi redcrx and AlBags. Success!! There is a tiny slot inside the door locking mechanism, not on the door frame. This slot, the size of the end of my ignition key, had filled up with grease, dust and crud, so was not readily obvious. However I found with the help of a torch! Thanks guys.
