"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.

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. 43 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
The alarm will sound for 30 second intervals, with a 10 second pause between intervals. This function cannot be
interrupted.
· If the battery or the siren are disconnected, the alarm will sound for five minutes

noticeably reduced, this indicates that the battery is weak and should be replaced.
Replacement: Open the remote control by twisting a coin in the ring between front and back (leave the ring in place).
Replace the batteries. Reinstall the cover, making sure it is secured tightly.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to service or repair any components of the alarm system yourself. This should only be
done by an authorized Volvo retailer.
