When the power retractable hard top is down, it is folded in the trunk. Using the button shown in the illustration above,
the folded power retractable hard top can be moved up or down slightly to facilitate loading or unloading small objects.

When the power retractable hard top has been raised for loading the trunk, or if its movement has been interrupted
by pressing the button twice, the trunk should not be closed. Doing so can damage the system or cause paint damage.

technician. As an anti-theft measure, the code of the lost remote control must be erased from the system.
Each key blade has a unique code, which is used by an authorized Volvo retailer if new key blades are required. A

Each of the keys supplied with your car contains a coded transponder. The code in the key is transmitted to an antenna

a properly coded key. If you misplace a key, take the other keys to a trained and qualified Volvo service technician for
reprogramming as an antitheft measure.
