Child Mode: lock the rear doors and windows by voice

Say “Child Mode” and the rear child locks and window lock both switch on at once.

Why it’s useful

Child locks live two taps deep in Controls, and the window lock is somewhere else again. One phrase handles both before the kids climb in.

1. Open AutomationsWith the car in Park, open the App Launcher on the touchscreen and tap Automations.
2. Create a new automationTap “Create an automation”.

Menu names come from the English strings found in current firmware and may change slightly at launch. There is no way to import automations, so you build each one on the touchscreen. Full walkthrough

Tips

• Make a second rule, “Adult Mode”, that turns both off again for grown-up passengers.
