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 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.

All headphones are automatically turned off when the ignition is switche\
d off. They must be manually
restarted when the ignition is switched on again.
Headphones - limitations
l The headphones will only work when the ignition key is in position I or \
higher.
l If a set of headphones is connected to the same source that is being sen\
t through the speakers, the
headphone controls cannot be used to change track or station. This is to\
prevent the driver from being
distracted by an unexpected change in music.
l If the driver selects the same sound source as someone listening to this\
source through headphones,
the driver takes control of the sound source.
l Only one disc in the optional CD changer, and one track on the CD can be\
played at a time.
l Headphone users can choose from among the preset radio stations (AM, FM\
1, FM2) previously set by
the driver.
l If FM is played in the speakers, AM is not available and vice versa.
