Remote controls
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 your car'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.
