detachable metal key blades for manually locking or unlocking the driver's door, the glove compartment, and the trunk.

Loss of a remote control
If either of the remote controls is lost, the other must be taken with the car to a trained and qualified Volvo service
technician. As an anti-theft measure, the code of the lost remote control must be erased from the system.

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.
