If the doors are locked while driving, this may hinder rapid access to the occupants of the car in the event of an
accident. (Also see information on "Child safety locks").

unlocked again in order to prevent accidentally locking the car with the keys left inside the car.
pg. 40 Remote keyless entry system
Remote keyless entry system
Your car is 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 and fuel filler door from a distance
of 10-15 feet (3-5 meters).
The Remote also activates/deactivates the alarm system that comes standard with this car.
The car can also be locked/unlocked with the key.
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 and the fuel filler door only. Press this button again
(within 10 seconds) to unlock other doors, trunk/tailgate.
· Press the OPEN trunk/tailgate button to unlock the tailgate/trunk.

This device complies with FCC rules Part 15. Operation 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 undesired operation.
NOTE: If only the driver's door is unlocked, the lock will automatically reengage (re-lock) and the alarm will be set
after 2 minutes unless the door has been opened (see page 42
).
The lock/unlock and alarm features can also be utilized by using the keys. See section: Doors and Locks on page 39.
WARNING!
Volvo does not recommend using the transmitter to lock the doors from inside the car. 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.
Remote control not functioning.
If the remote control is not functioning the car can be started as follows:
Open the driver's door with the key. The alarm and alarm siren will activate.
Turn the ignition on. The alarm will deactivate.
Note: The remote control will not function if a key is left in the ignition switch.
pg. 41 Alarm
Alarm
The radio signal emitted from the transmitter, which is used to set/unset the alarm, is a "rolling code" signal. This
means that the signal is changed randomly for each transmission and is intended to help prevent unauthorized
recording of the code.
When armed (set), the alarm continuously monitors a number of points on the car. The following conditions will set off
the alarm:
· The hood is opened
· The trunk/tailgate is opened
· A door is opened
· The ignition switch is tampered with

NOTE: When touching up the car, it should be clean and dry. The surface temperature should be above 60° F (15° C).
Scratches on the surface
If the stone chip has not penetrated down to the metal and an undamaged layer of paint remains, the touchup paint can
be applied as soon as the spot has been cleaned.
Deep scratches
1. Place a strip of masking tape over the damaged surface. Pull the tape off so that any loose flakes of paint adhere to
it.
2. Thoroughly mix the primer and apply it with a small brush.
When the primer surface is dry, the paint can be applied using a brush. Mix the paint thoroughly; apply several thin
paint coats and let dry after each application.
3. If there is a longer scratch, you may want to protect surrounding paint by masking it off.
pg. 99 Washing
Washing the car
· The car should be washed at regular intervals since dirt, dust, insects and tar spots adhere to the paint and may cause
damage.
NOTE: It is particularly important to wash the car frequently in the wintertime to prevent corrosion, when salt has
been used on the roads.
· When washing the car, do not expose it to direct sunlight. Use lukewarm water to soften the dirt before you wash
with a sponge, and plenty of water, to avoid scratching.
· Bird droppings: Remove from paintwork as soon as possible. Otherwise the finish may be permanently damaged.
· A detergent can be used to facilitate the softening of dirt and oil.
· A water-soluble grease solvent may be used in cases of sticky dirt. However, use a wash place equipped with a
drainage separator.
· Dry the car with a clean chamois and remember to clean the drain holes in the doors and rocker panels.
· The power radio antenna (sedans) must be dried after washing.
