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.

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.
