One turn with the key towards lock in the drivers door locks both doors and the trunk.
Use the switch on the front door armrests to lock/unlock the car from the inside.
Check the action of the button on the other door to verify its function (lock/ unlock).
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 :
If a door is not closed completely, the courtesy lights will stay on and a chime will sound until the door is closed.
As an added anti-theft measure, new keys have been developed which may take slightly longer to copy or replace if
the original keys are misplaced. Duplicate keys may be ordered from your Volvo retailer.
Immobilizer (start inhibitor)
Each of the keys supplied with your car contains a coded transmitter and receiver (transponder). 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 car can only be started if a properly coded key is used.
If you misplace a key, take the other keys to an authorized Volvo retailer. The existing code in the start inhibitor
module and all the keys will be erased as an antitheft measure and a new code will be programmed in.
NOTE: Not more than one of the keys for your car should be kept on the same key ring. This could cause conflicting
signals to be transmitted to the ignition switch, making it impossible to start the car.
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 must accept any interference received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation.
The key number codes are stamped on a separate tag supplied with the keys. This tag should be separated from the key
ring and kept in a safe place.
pg. 44 Remote keyless entry system
Remote keyless entry system
Your car is equipped with a remote control transmitter. This transmitter uses a radio frequency which will allow
"keyless" entry into the passenger compartment or the trunk. You will be supplied with two coded key ring

LED alarm status indicator
Alarm
The radio signal emitted from the transmitter, which is used to set/unset the alarm, is a "rolling code" signal. This
means that the signal is changed randomly for each transmission and is intended to help prevent unauthorized
recording of the code.
When armed (set), the alarm continuously monitors a number of points on the car. The following conditions will set off
the alarm:
The hood is opened
The trunk is opened
A door is opened
The ignition switch is tampered with
The car is lifted or towed (if the car is equipped with the optional inclination sensor)
The battery is disconnected (if the car is equipped with the optional backup battery siren). The alarm will sound for
ten 30 second intervals, with a 5 second pause between intervals. This function cannot be interrupted.
Arming (setting) the alarm
Press the LOCK button on the remote control, lock the car using the key in the driver's door or press the central lock
button on one of the doors with the door open. One long flash of the turn signals will confirm that the alarm is set.
Disarming the alarm
Press the UNLOCK button on the remote control or unlock the doors with the key.
Turning off (stopping) the alarm
If the alarm is sounding, it can be stopped by pressing the UNLOCK button on the remote control or by unlocking the
driver's door with the key.
If the alarm is stopped with the remote control, this will be confirmed by two short flashes from the turn signals.
"Panic" function
In an emergency situation, this feature can be used to attract attention.
Activate the "panic" function by pressing the red panic button on the remote control for at least 3 seconds or by
pressing this button twice within 3 seconds. The turn signals will flash, the interior lights will go on and the alarm will
sound.
The function can be turned off by pressing any of the buttons on the remote control or will stop automatically after 25

seconds.
NOTE: This button will NOT unlock the car.
Audible alarm signal
An audible alarm signal is given either by a separate alarm horn or by the optional backup siren. One alarm cycle lasts
for 30 seconds.
Visual alarm signal
The visual alarm signal is given by flashing all turn signals and turning on the interior lighting for approximately 5
minutes.
pg. 46 Alarm
Automatic reset function
If only the driver's door is unlocked with the remote control, the lock will automatically re-engage (re-lock) and the
alarm will reset after 2 minutes unless the door has been opened.
Temporarily disconnecting the alarm sensor(s)
In certain situations it may be desirable to disconnect the optional alarm sensors, particularly the inclination sensor, if,
for example, you drive your car onto a ferry where the rocking of the boat could trigger the alarm.
To temporarily disconnect the sensor(s) from the alarm system:
With both doors closed, switch off the ignition and remove the key from the ignition switch
Press the locking (left) side of the central locking button on the driver's door for at least 3 seconds
The doors will first lock and then unlock after 3 seconds to confirm that the sensors have been disconnected
The car can then be locked in the usual way to set the alarm.
NOTE: The sensors will automatically be reconnected to the alarm system the next time the ignition is switched on.
LED alarm status signals
The status of the alarm system is indicated by the red LED at the top center of the dash:
LED off - the alarm is not armed (set)
LED flashes once per second - the alarm is armed (set)
LED flashes rapidly before the ignition is switched on - the alarm has been triggered
LED flashes rapidly for 15 seconds after the ignition has been switched on - a fault has been detected in the alarm
system. Contact a Volvo retailer.
