MS S5 Door opening issue

[AmarShahi]

Hi everyone, I am from Kathmandu, Nepal and I am an owner of MG S5 base variant. I have driven the car for more than 1000 kms and I noticed an issue with the door safety. Even when the car is running at high speed, the door can be opened by pulling the lever once. In the previous cars I owned, we needed to pull the lever twice to open when the car is in motion. This is a high risk for me since I drive the car with my baby in the back seat and I'm afraid they might play with the lever and the door might accidentally open in high speed. Has anyone else faced the same issue?

Amar. Surely your rear doors can be locked, either with child locks on the rear doors. Or from your switches on your drivers door. Especially on such a new car.

Thank you! I am using the child lock for now. However the normal locking mechanism is useless since we can unlock the car while in motion even with a single pull.

It certainly should autolock above 15kph though perhaps that was disabled in the infotainment setup? Can you still lock the doors manually whilst in motion?

It makes a locking sound after 15 km/h speed, but we can still open the door (including driver door) in a single pull. I tried manually locking the door but same issue.

Perhaps it works differently on the MGS5 then.
Hopefully one of our other MGS5 owners will be able to confirm what their car does.
