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 and the fuel filler door.
Turn the key again (within 10 seconds) to unlock all doors and the tailgate. One turn with the key towards lock in
the drivers door locks all doors and tailgate.

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 key operates only driver's door and ignition switch/steering wheel lock.
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.
Exterior 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 activating the high beams).
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 70). 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 frequency which will allow
"keyless" entry into the passenger compartment or the tailgate. Your car is supplied with two coded key ring
transmitters, which will enable you to lock/ unlock all doors and the tailgate from a distance of 10-15 feet (3-5 meters).
The remote transmitter will also activate or deactivate the your car's alarm system(s). 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 your nearest authorized Volvo retailer for assistance.
Using the remote control
Press the LOCK button once to lock all doors, fuel filler door and tailgate.
Press the UNLOCK button once to unlock the driver's door only. Press this button again (within 10 seconds) to
unlock all doors, fuel filler door and tailgate.
To open the tailgate (without unlocking the other doors), press the tailgate -unlock button twice.
NOTE:
If the doors are unlocked with the remote, the locks will automatically reengage (re-lock) and the alarm will reset
after 2 minutes unless a door has been opened.
The lock/unlock and alarm features can also be utilized by using the keys.
Remote keyless entry system and driver's seat/sideview mirrors
The remote control transmitter also controls the electrically operated driver's seat and sideview mirrors in the
following way:
Adjust the seat/sideview mirrors 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 and sideview mirrors will automatically move to the position in which you
left them. The seat/mirrors will move to this position even if someone else has adjusted them since you last drove the
car.
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.
pg. 72 Remote keyless entry system
Remote keyless entry system - replacing batteries
If the range of the transmitter is noticeably reduced, this indicates that the battery is weak and should be replaced. To
replace the battery
Remove the screw on the transmitter cover with a small screwdriver
Remove the cover carefully pressing it rearward/upward
Replace the battery with a new 3-volt, CR 2032 battery. The battery should be inserted with the minus side upward.
Avoid touching the contact surfaces of the battery with your fingers.
Reinstall the cover and tighten the screw to help protect the transmitter.
NOTE: The old battery should be disposed of properly at a recycling center or at your Volvo retailer.
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. The
alarm will also sound.

of 3 mph (5 km/h).

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).
