Keys
Two keys are provided with your car; a master key and a service key. The master key, the remote control, and the
central locking button may all be used to lock and unlock all of your car's locks.
The service key will operate only the driver's door and the ignition switch. It is intended to help deter unwanted entry
into the glove compartment and trunk.
Turn the key once to unlock the driver's door only.
Turn the key again (within 10 seconds) to unlock all doors and the trunk.
One turn with the key towards lock in the drivers door locks all doors, trunk.

Use the switch on the front door armrests to lock/unlock the car from the inside.
WARNING!
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").
Note: To help prevent accidentally locking the keys in the car, the central locking system is designed to unlock the
doors immediately if the key is left in the ignition switch, the car is locked using the lock button on the door and the
door is then closed. A sound from the lock will be audible at this time.
Please note that this function will not unlock the doors if the engine is running.
Immobilizer (start inhibitor)
Each of the keys supplied with your car contains a coded transmitter. The code in the key is transmitted to an antenna
in the ignition switch where it is compared to the code stored in the start inhibitor module. The car will start only with
a properly coded key.
If you misplace a key, take the other keys to an authorized Volvo retailer for reprogramming as an antitheft measure.
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following condition: (1) This device
may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation.
Courtesy lights
Home Safe System
When you leave your car at night, you can make use of the courtesy lighting function:
· Remove the key from the ignition switch.
· Pull the direction indicator lever towards the steering wheel (as when using the headlight flasher function).
· Exit the car and lock the doors.
The headlights, parking lights, license plate lights and the lights in the sideview mirrors will now come on and remain
on for 30, 60 or 90 seconds (the time interval is at your discretion and can be changed by an authorized Volvo retailer).
Approach lighting
When approaching the car at night, press the yellow button in the central locking remote control (see illustration on
page 57
). This lights up the interior courtesy light, parking lights, license plate lights and the lights in the sideview
mirrors.

Remote keyless entry system
Your car is equipped with a remote control transmitter. This transmitter uses a radio signal to 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 from a distance of 10-15 feet (3-5 meters).
On vehicles equipped with an alarm, the alarm will also be activated/deactivated by this system.
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 the 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.
· Press the UNLOCK button once to unlock the driver's door only. Press this button again (within 10 seconds) to
unlock all doors, trunk.
· To pop open the trunk (without unlocking the other doors), press the OPEN trunk button twice within 3 seconds.
* See page 60
for more information on this function.
Remote keyless entry system and driver's seat
The remote control transmitter also controls the electrically operated driver's seat in the following way:
· Adjust the seat to your preferences.
· When you leave your car, lock it using the remote control.
· The next time you unlock the driver's door with the same remote control (the one you used to lock the doors with)
and open the driver's door , the driver's seat will automatically move to the position in which you left it.
The seat will move to this position even if someone else has adjusted the seat since you last drove the car.
ProCarManuals.com

NOTE:
· This feature will work in the same way with all of the remote control transmitters (up to 3) that you use with your
car.
· This feature will not function if you lock your car with the key.
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.
pg. 58 Remote keyless entry system
NOTE :
· If the doors are unlocked, the locks will automatically reengage (re-lock) and the alarm will reset after 2 minutes
unless a door has been opened.
· The keys may also be used to lock and unlock the doors, and to activate and deactivate the alarm system.
· To avoid leaving your keys in the car, make a habit of always locking the car with the remote control.
Automatic locking (Retailer installed option on certain models) If your car is equipped with this option, all
unlocked doors will automatically be locked when the car exceeds a speed of 3 mph (5 km/h). Please be aware of the
following:
· If the doors are unlocked using the central locking button after the doors have automatically locked and no door has
been opened, the doors will not automatically re-lock the next time the car exceeds 3 mph (5 km/h).
· If any doors are unlocked by pulling up the lock knob after the doors have been automatically locked and no door has
been opened, the doors will not automatically re-lock the next time the car exceeds 3 mph (5 km/h).
· If a door is opened after the car has exceeded 3 mph (5 km/h), that door will not be re-locked.
WARNING!
Never use the transmitter to lock the doors from inside the car.
Doing so would ACTIVATE:
· the break-in alarm, which would sound if one of the doors were opened.
· the interior motion and inclination alarm sensors, if equipped. Doing so would DEACTIVATE:
· the sunroof and interior courtesy light controls.
· the central locking buttons on the front door armrests, although the interior door handles would still function to
allow occupants to leave the car.
Disabled features would remain disabled until the remote were used again to unlock the car.
In addition, locking an occupied vehicle would hinder rapid access to the occupants in an accident or emergency.
