WARNING!
If the doors are locked while driving, this may hinder rapid access to t\
he occupants of the vehicle in
the event of an accident. (Also see information on "Child safety locks"\
).
NOTE: To help prevent accidentally locking the keys in the vehicle, the centra\
l locking system is
designed to unlock the doors immediately if the key is left in the ignit\
ion switch, the vehicle is locked
using the lock button on the door and the door is then closed. A sound f\
rom the lock will be audible at
this time.
Please note that this function will not unlock the doors if the engine i\
s running.
Immobilizer (start inhibitor)
Each of the keys supplied with your vehicle contains a coded transmitter\
. The code in the key is
transmitted to an antenna in the ignition switch where it is compared to\
the code stored in the start
inhibitor module. The vehicle 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 antit\
heft measure.
NOTE: If two of the keys to your vehicle are close together, e.g., on the same\
key ring, when you try to
start the vehicle, this could cause interference in the immobilizer syst\
em and result in the vehicle not
starting. If this should occur, remove one of the keys from the key ring\
before trying to start the vehicle
again.
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 mu\
st accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Remote controls
Your vehicle is equipped with a remote control transmitter. This transmi\
tter uses a radio signal to allow
"keyless" entry into the passenger compartment or the tailgate. You will\
be supplied with two coded key
ring transmitters, which will enable you to lock/unlock all doors and th\
e tailgate from a distance of 10-
15 feet (3- 5 meters).
On vehicles equipped with an alarm, the alarm will also be activated/dea\
ctivated by this system.
The vehicle can also be locked/unlocked with the key.

Buttons in remote control:
1-Lock, 2-Unlock, 3-Unlock tailgate,
4-"Panic" function,*, 5-Approach lighting
As an extra security precaution in certain situations (valet parking, e\
tc.), Volvo recommends that the
transmitter not be included when the keys are given to anyone. The servi\
ce key can be used instead. If
one of the transmitters is misplaced, contact the nearest authorized Vol\
vo retailer for assistance.
Using the remote control
l Press the LOCK button once to lock all doors and tailgate.
l Press the UNLOCK button once to unlock the driver's door and fuel filler\
door. Wait for at least 1
second and press this button again (within 10 seconds) to unlock all d\
oors and the tailgate.
l To unlock the tailgate (without unlocking the doors), press the Unlock\
tailgate button twice within 3
seconds.
NOTE:
l Airbag deployment will automatically unlock the doors.
l The keys may also be used to lock and unlock the doors, and to activate \
and deactivate the alarm
system.
l To avoid leaving your keys in the vehicle, make a habit of always lockin\
g the vehicle with the remote
control.
