Remote keyless entry system

As an option, your car can be equipped with a remote control transmitter\
. This transmitter uses a radio
frequency which will allow "keyless" entry into the passenger compartmen\
t or the trunk. You will be
supplied with two coded key ring transmitters, which will enable you to \
lock/unlock all doors and the
trunk/tailgate from a distance of 10-15 feet (3-5 meters).

To lock :
Press button 1 once to lock all doors and trunk/tailgate.

To unlock :
Press button 2 once to unlock the driver's door only.
Press button 2 again (within 10 seconds) to unlock all doors and trunk\
/tailgate.


Aim the base of the remote control unit at the car to get the best range\
.

On vehicles equipped with an alarm, the alarm will also be activated/dea\
ctivated by this system.
As an extra security precaution in certain situations (valet parking, e\
tc.), Volvo recommends that the
transmitter not be included when the keys are given to anyone. The servi\
ce key can be used instead. If
one of the transmitters is misplaced, contact the nearest authorized Vol\
vo retailer for assistance.

Batteries

The remote transmitter is powered by 2 three-volt batteries, type CR 122\
0. If three short signals are
audible from the transmitter each time you lock/unlock the car, this ind\
icates that the batteries are weak.
Replacement: Remove the battery cover on the back of the transmitter wit\
h a coin. Replace the batteries.
Reinstall the cover, making sure it is secured tightly to help protect t\
he transmitter.

Replacement : Remove the battery cover on the back of the transmitter wi\

p protect the transmitter.

NOTE: If only the driver's door is unlocked, the lock will automatically\
reengage (re-lock) and the alarm
will reset after 30 seconds unless the door has been opened.
If all of the doors were unlocked (by pushing button 2 twice within 10 \
seconds) and no door/trunk/
tailgate was opened within two minutes, all locks will reengage and the \
alarm will reset. This is to
prevent the vehicle from being left unlocked if the unlock button is ina\
dvertently pressed.
The lock/unlock and alarm features can also be utilized by using the key\
s. See section: Keys, Doors and
Locks on
page 2:2-3.
If the alarm LED glows continuously for 5 seconds, this indicates a faul\
t in the system or that a door is
not properly closed.

, this light will come on when

onds or when the engine is

Seat belts - the heart of the Volvo safety system

The heart of the Volvo safety system is the three-point seat belt! In or\
der for the SRS system to provide
the protection intended, seat belts must be worn at all times by everyon\
e in the car. The SRS system is a
supplement to the seat belts.
WARNING! If your car has been subjected to flood conditions (e.g. soake\
d carpeting/standing water
on the floor of the vehicle) or if your car has become flood-damaged in\
any way, do not attempt to
start the vehicle or put the key in the ignition before disconnecting th\
e battery (see below). This may
cause airbag deployment which could result in personal injury. Have the \
car towed to an authorized
Volvo retailer for repairs.
Automatic transmission only:
Before attempting to tow the car, use the following procedure to overrid\
e the shiftlock system to move
the gear selector to the neutral position.
l Disconnect the battery
l Wait at least one minute
l Insert the key in the ignition and turn it to position 1
l Press firmly on the shiftlock override button (located near the base of\
the gear selector).
l While holding the override button down, move the gear selector from the \
park position.
