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 compartment 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 the lock button once to
lock all doors and trunk/
tailgate.
To unlock :
Press the unlock button once
to unlock the driver's door
only.
Press the unlock button 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/deactivated by
this system.
As an extra security precaution in certain
situations (valet parking, etc.), Volvo
recommends that the transmitter not be
included when the keys are given to
anyone. The service key can be used
instead. If one of the transmitters is
misplaced, contact the nearest authorized
Volvo retailer for assistance.
Batteries
The remote transmitter is powered by 2
three-volt batteries, type CR 1220. If three
short signals are audible from the
transmitter each time you lock/unlock the
car, this indicates that the batteries are
weak.
Replacement: Remove the battery cover
on the back of the transmitter with a coin.
Replace the batteries. Reinstall the cover,
making sure it is secured tightly to help
protect the transmitter. New transmitters
If you purchase additional
transmitters, they must be
programmed to function with
your remote keyless entry
system. Please refer to page 49
for instructions.
This device complies with
FCC rules Part 15.
Operations is subject to the
following two conditions:
(1) This device may not
cause harmful interference
and (2) this device must
accept any interference that
may be received, including
interference that may cause

WARNING! Volvo does
not recommend using the
transmitter to lock the doors
from inside the car. On cars
equipped with an alarm, the
alarm would be activated
and would sound when one
of the doors is opened. The
doors must not be locked
using the remote transmitter
while the vehicle is
occupied. In case of an
accident, this may hinder
rapid access to the
occupants of the vehicle.
The alarm will also sound
on models equipped with
this feature.
