pg. 119 Keys and remote controls
Remote controls
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.
