2002 VOLVO V4 remote control

Shiftlock
When your car is parked, the gear selector is locked in the (P)ark position. To release the selector from this position,
turn the ignition key to position II (or start the engine), depress the brake pedal, press the button on the front of the
gear selector knob and move the selector from (P)ark.
If it is necessary to manually override the shiftlock system:
· Turn the starting (ignition) key to position I
· Press firmly on the "SHIFTLOCK OVERRIDE" button located at the base of the gear selector
· While holding the override button down, press the button on the front of the gear selector
· Move the selector from the (P)ark position.
Keylock
When you switch off the ignition, the gear selector must be in the (P)ark position before the key can be removed.
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
The ABS system in your car performs a self -diagnostic test when the vehicle first reaches the speed of approximately
4 mph (6 km/h). The brake pedal will pulsate several times and a sound may be audible from the ABS control module.
This is normal.
Fuel filler door
When you lock the doors, the fuel filler door also locks, with a delay of 10 minutes. When all doors are unlocked, the
fuel filler door is also unlocked. Your key, keyless remote, and the door lock button in the driver's door control pod
will all unlock the fuel filler door. To open the unlocked fuel filler door, press at the forward edge of the door. See
pages 42
for information about locking and unlocking features.

Volvo and the environment
Volvo is committed to the well being of our customers. As a natural part of this commitment, we care about the
environment in which we all live. Caring for the environment means an everyday involvement in reducing our
environmental impact.
Volvo's environmental activities are based on a holistic view, which means we consider the overall environmental
impact of a product throughout its complete life cycle. In this context, design, production, product use, and recycling
are all important considerations.
In production, Volvo has partly or completely phased out several chemicals including freons, lead chromates,
naphtanates, asbestos, mercury and cadmium; and reduced the amount of chemicals used in our plants 50% since 1991.
In use, Volvo was the first in the world to introduce into production a three-way catalytic converter with a Lambda

Key
The key activates all locks (ignition switch/steering wheel lock, all doors including the fuel filler door, trunk/tailgate,
and the glove compartment).
Immobilizer (start inhibitor)
Each of the keys supplied with your car is electronically coded. When the key is inserted into the ignition switch, the
code is transmitted to and compared with a 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:
You should never keep more than one of your ignition keys on the ring at the same time. 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.
pg. 41 Remote keyless entry system
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 all doors and the trunk/tailgate and fuel filler door from a distance
of 10-15 feet (3-5 meters).

LED alarm status signals
The status of the alarm system is indicated by the red LED at the right side of the dash:
· LED off - the alarm is not armed (set)
· LED flashes once per second - the alarm is armed (set)
· LED flashes rapidly before the ignition is switched on - the alarm has been triggered
· LED flashes rapidly for 15 seconds after the ignition has been switched on - a fault has been detected in the alarm
system. Contact a Volvo retailer.
Automatic relock

alarm will be set after 2 minutes unless the door has been opened.
Batteries
Each remote transmitter is powered by two three-volt batteries, type CR 2016. If the range of the transmitter is
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.
