Heated rear window/sideview mirrors
This function demists/de-ices the rear window and sideview mirrors. The LED in the switch will light up to indicate
that the heating function is engaged. See page 36
for additional information on this function.
CAUTION:
Never use ice scrapers made of metal as they can easily scratch the mirror surface.

Recirculation (see also page 47)
Press this switch to engage the recirculation function (air in the passenger compartment recirculates - no fresh air
enters the compartment). The LED in the switch will light up to indicate that the function is engaged.
Use this function if the outside air is contaminated with exhaust gases, smoke, etc or to heat/cool the car quickly.
Recirculation should not be used for more than 15 minutes. If your windows begin to fog or mist, make sure that the
recirculation function is switched off.
Selecting Defroster automatically switches recirculation off.
Timer function: (Cars with Interior Air Quality system have no timer function) Pressing and holding the switch for at
least 3 seconds activates a timer function. The LED in the switch will flash for approximately 5 seconds. Recirculation
will then always operate for periods of 5 to 12 minutes, depending on the ambient temperature, after which it will
switch off automatically. Pressing the switch at any time during the recirculation period will disengage the function
and allow fresh air into the passenger compartment. Press and hold the switch again for at least 3 seconds to return the
button to its original function (i.e., recirculation will remain on until you switch it off).
Blower control
Turn the control clockwise to increase or counterclockwise to decrease the blower speed. Pressing the AUTO switch
will automatically regulate blower speed and override manual adjustment.
NOTE: Turning the blower control counterclockwise as far as possible (an orange LED next to the control will light
up) will turn both the blower and the air conditioning off.

light on for 30 seconds if:
You unlock the car from the outside with the key or remote control.
You switch off the ignition (turn the key to position 0). The courtesy light stays on for 10 minutes if one of the doors

button a second time.
The courtesy light timer periods can be changed. Consult your Volvo retailer.
Overriding the Interior Courtesy Lights
Normally if a car door is left open with the engine turned off, the interior courtesy light will stay on for 10 minutes.
If a car door is left open or the interior courtesy lights are turned on while the engine is left running, the interior
courtesy lights will stay on indefinitely.
At times, you may wish to be assured that the courtesy lights will stay off regardless of door or tailgate position.
To switch off the interior and tailgate courtesy lights indefinitely, press and hold the center button in the panel above
the rearview mirror for 3 seconds. The courtesy lights will go off and remain off until the center button is pressed

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.

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.
