Remote keyless entry system
Your car is equipped with a remote control transmitter. This transmitter uses a readio frequency which will allow
“keyless” entry into the passenger compartment or the trunk. You will be supplied with two coded key ring
transmitters, which willenable you to lock/unlock all doors and the trunk/tailgate from a distance of 10-15 feet (3-5
meters).
The car can also be locked/unlocked with the key.
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 transmitters is misplaced ,
contact the nearest authorized Volvo retailer for assistance.
Using the remote control
· Press the LOCK button once to lock all doors and trunk/tailgate.
· Press the UNLOCK button once to unlock the driver’s door only. Press this button again (within 10 seconds) to
