Remote keyless entry system 
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.
