Remote keyless entry system - replacing batteries
If the range of the transmitter is noticeably reduced, this indicates th\
at the battery is weak and should be
replaced.
To replace the battery
l Remove the cover by carefully prying up its rear edge with a small screw\
driver
l Replace the battery with a new 3-volt, CR 2032 battery. The battery shou\
ld be inserted with the plus
side upward. Avoid touching the contact surfaces of the battery with you\
r fingers.
l Press the cover back into place. Ensure that the rubber seal seats corre\
ctly to help prevent moisture
from entering the unit.
NOTE: The old battery should be disposed of properly at a recycling center or\
at your Volvo retailer.
WARNING!
Volvo does not recommend using the transmitter to lock the doors from in\
side the car. The alarm
would be activated and would sound when one of the doors is opened. The \
doors must not be locked
using the remote transmitter while the vehicle is occupied. In case of a\
n accident, this may hinder
rapid access to the occupants of the vehicle. The alarm will also sound.\
