Key
The master key is integrated into the remote keyless entry system's remote control.
To fold out the key, press the button indicated by the downward pointing arrow in the illustration above.
To retract the key, press the button and fold the key into the slot in the remote control.
The key activates all locks (ignition switch/steering wheel lock, all doors, fuel filler door, trunk/tailgate), and

Service Key (Valet key)
This key (grey in color) activates only ignition switch/steering wheel lock and all doors, including the fuel filler door.
Immobilizer (start inhibitor)
Each of the keys supplied with your car is electronically coded. When the key is inserted into the ignition switch, the
code is transmitted to and compared with a code stored in the start inhibitor module. The car can be started only 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 anti-theft measure and a new code will be programmed in.
NOTE:
You should never keep more than one of your ignition keys on the ring at the same time. 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.

pg. 43 Alarm
Alarm
The radio signal emitted from the remote control, 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/tailgate is opened
A door is opened
The ignition switch is tampered with
The alarm will sound for 30 second intervals, with a 10 second pause between intervals. This function cannot be
interrupted.
If the battery or the siren are disconnected, the alarm will sound for five minutes
Arming (setting) the alarm
The alarm can be armed in the following ways:
Press the LOCK button on the remote control (the turn signals will flash to confirm that the car is locked and the
alarm is armed)

If the stone chip has not penetrated down to the metal and an undamaged layer of paint remains, the touchup paint can
be applied as soon as the spot has been cleaned.
Deep scratches
1. Place a strip of masking tape over the damaged surface. Pull the tape off so that any loose flakes of paint adhere to
it.
2. Thoroughly mix the primer and apply it with a small brush.
When the primer surface is dry, the paint can be applied using a brush. Mix the paint thoroughly; apply several thin
paint coats and let dry after each application.
3. If there is a longer scratch, you may want to protect surrounding paint by masking it off.
pg. 103 Washing
Washing the car
The car should be washed at regular intervals since dirt, dust, insects and tar spots adhere to the paint and may cause
damage.
NOTE: It is particularly important to wash the car frequently in the wintertime to prevent corrosion, when salt has
been used on the roads.
When washing the car, do not expose it to direct sunlight. Use lukewarm water to soften the dirt before you wash
with a sponge, and plenty of water, to avoid scratching.
Bird droppings: Remove from paintwork as soon as possible. Otherwise the finish may be permanently damaged.
A detergent can be used to facilitate the softening of dirt and oil.
A water-soluble grease solvent may be used in cases of sticky dirt. However, use a wash place equipped with a
drainage separator.
Dry the car with a clean chamois and remember to clean the drain holes in the doors and rocker panels.
The power radio antenna (sedans) must be dried after washing.
Tar spots can be removed with kerosene or tar remover after the car has been washed.
A stiff-bristle brush and lukewarm soapy water can be used to clean the wiper blades. Frequent cleaning improves
visibility considerably.
Wash off the dirt from the underside (wheel housings fenders, etc.).
In areas of high industrial fallout, more frequent washing is recommended.
CAUTION: During high pressure washing, the spray nozzle must never be closer to the vehicle than 13" (30 cm). Do
not spray into the locks.
When washing or steam cleaning the engine, avoid spraying water or steam directly on the electrical components or

Auto storing radio stations (14)
This function seeks and stores up to 10 strong AM or FM stations in a separate memory. The function is especially
useful in areas where you are not familiar with the radio stations.
Press the AUTO button (2). A number of stations with strong signals (maximum 10) from the selected FM or AM
band can be stored automatically in the memory.
AUTO is displayed and the stations found will be indicated as A1-A0, where 0=10.
If, for example, there are only 5 strong stations in the area, only A1-A5 will be stored in the memory
If no stations with sufficient signal strength are found, NO STATION will be displayed.
Since Auto Store stores stations that have been found in a temporary memory, these stations will be erased from the
memory when the audio unit is switched off. When the unit is switched on again, the radio will search for and store up
to ten new stations.
If Auto Store finds a station that you would like to store in the system's permanent memory, please refer to point 2 in
the next section.
To restart the auto store function, press the AUTO button for more than 2 seconds.
