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.

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.

CAUTION:
Do not touch the glass on halogen bulbs with your fingers. Grease, oil or any  other impurities can be  carbonized  onto

Pull out the defective bulb. Note  the position of the guide lug on the base of the bulb (4). 
To install a new low beam bulb  (H7):
Insert the new bulb, without touching the glass, with the guide lug upward (1). The bulb will only seat properly in
this  position.

periods), this  should be  done  by an  authorized Volvo retailer.
