Keys
Two types of keys are provided with your car; master keys and a service key. The master key, the remote control, and
the central locking button may all be used to lock and unlock all of your car's locks.
The service key operates the driver's door and the ignition switch. It will also fit the tailgate lock cylinder on models
outfitted with a factory installed third seat. The service key is intended to help deter unwanted entry into the glove
compartment.
Turn the key once to unlock the driver's door and the fuel filler door.
Turn the key again (within 10 seconds) to unlock all doors and the tailgate.
One turn with the key towards lock in the drivers door locks all doors and tailgate.

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 tailgate
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 tailgate. 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.
