12 mph (20 km/h). The brake pedal will pulsate several times and a sound may be audible from the ABS control
module. This is normal.
Fuel tank cover
The fuel tank cover is locked and must be popped open using the control on the driver's door (see illustration on page
16).

object blocks the top when it is in motion. If this occurs, remove the object and wait 20 seconds for the circuit breaker
to reset before trying to raise/lower the top again.
See page 106
for fault tracing information and instructions on manually raising the convertible top.

· Volvo recommends that you raise the convertible top and close the windows when you leave the car to help deter
thefts and to protect the interior from rain, windblown dust, etc.
· No objects should be placed in the convertible top storage compartment. This could damage the convertible top
mechanism.

from mildew.
See page 111 for information on cleaning the convertible top.
Wind deflector (option/accessory)
Installing the wind deflector:
· Fold out the panels on the sides of the wind deflector (1).
· Slide the two metal slats on the wind deflector under the rear seat head restraints (2). Slide them carefully to avoid
damaging the upholstery.
· Press the catches (3) into the holes provided in the side panel until they click into place.
· Raise the wind deflector (4) 90°.
NOTE: The panels on the sides of the wind deflector can be folded under so that the deflector can be stored in the
trunk. The catches (3) must be pushed in (toward the center of the car) before the panels can be folded.
WARNING!
The wind deflector must be securely attached to help avoid injury to the occupants of the car or to other motorists.
pg. 46 Keys, doors and locks
ProCarManuals.com

Doors and locks
Your car is equipped with a central locking system. The key, used on the driver's door, the remote control or central
locking button, will lock/unlock both doors and the trunk.
· Turn the key once to unlock the driver's door only.
· Turn the key again (within 10 seconds) to unlock both doors and the trunk.
One turn with the key towards lock in the drivers door locks both doors and the trunk.
· Use the switch on the front door armrests to lock/unlock the car from the inside.
Check the action of the button on the other door to verify its function (lock/ unlock).
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 :
· If a door is not closed completely, the courtesy lights will stay on and a chime will sound until the door is closed.
· As an added anti-theft measure, new keys have been developed which may take slightly longer to copy or replace if
the original keys are misplaced. Duplicate keys may be ordered from your Volvo retailer.
Immobilizer (start inhibitor)
Each of the keys supplied with your car contains a coded transmitter and receiver (transponder). 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 can only be started if a properly coded key is used.
If you misplace a key, take the other keys to an authorized Volvo retailer. The existing code in the start inhibitor
module and all the keys will be erased as an antitheft measure and a new code will be programmed in.
NOTE:
Not more than one of the keys for your car should be kept on the same key ring. This could cause conflicting signals to
be transmitted to the ignition switch, making it impossible to start the car.
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.
The key number codes are stamped on a separate tag supplied with the keys. This tag should be separated from the key
ring and kept in a safe place.
pg. 47 Remote keyless entry system
ProCarManuals.com

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 both 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 both doors and the trunk.
· Press the UNLOCK button once to unlock the driver's door only. Press this button again (within 10 seconds) to
unlock both doors and the trunk.
· Press the OPEN trunk button twice within 3 seconds to pop open the trunk.
NOTE :
If only the driver's door is unlocked, the lock will automatically reengage (re-lock) and the alarm will reset after 2
minutes unless the door has been opened.
The lock/unlock and alarm features can also be utilized by using the keys. See section: Doors and Locks on page 42.
If the alarm LED glows continuously for 5 seconds, this indicates a fault in the system
or that a door is not properly closed.
: To avoid leaving your keys in the car, make a habit of always locking the car with the remote control.
WARNING!
Volvo does not recommend using the transmitter to lock the doors from inside the car. On cars equipped with an
alarm, 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 on models equipped with this feature.
