Use the switch on the front  door armrests to lock/unlock the car from  the inside.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:  To help prevent accidentally locking the keys in the car, the central locking system is designed to unlock the
doors immediately if the key  is left in the ignition switch, the car is locked using the lock button on the door and  the
door is then closed.  A sound from the lock will be audible at this time.  
Please note that this  function will  not unlock the doors if the engine is running.
Immobilizer (start inhibitor) 
Each of the keys supplied with your car 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 car 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  antitheft measure.
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.

 Pull the turn signal lever towards the steering wheel (as when using the headlight flasher function).
 Exit the car and  lock the doors.
The headlights, parking lights, license plate  lights and  the lights in the sideview mirrors  will now come on and  remain
on for 30, 60 or 90 seconds (the time interval is at your discretion  and  can be  changed by an  authorized Volvo retailer).
Approach lighting  
When approaching  the car at night, press the yellow button in the central locking remote control (see illustration on
page 63
). This lights up the interior  courtesy light, parking lights, license plate  lights and  the lights in the sideview
mirrors.
pg. 63 Remote keyless entry system
ProCarManuals.com 

Remote keyless entry system 
Your car is equipped with two coded remote control transmitters with integrated ignition keys called Key Integrated
Remote (KIR). These transmitters use a  radio frequency that will enable you to lock/unlock all doors and  the trunk
from  a  distance of 10-15 feet (3-5 meters).
The transmitters will also activate or allow "keyless"  entry into the passenger  compartment or the trunk. They will also
activate or deactivate the vehicle's alarm system(s).
The car can also be  locked/unlocked with the key.
If one  of the transmitters is misplaced, contact your nearest authorized Volvo retailer for replacement.
