2006 VOLVO XC90 remote control

2006 VOLVO XC90
Remote controls
Your vehicle 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 me\
ters).
The transmitters will also activate or allow "keyless" entry into the pa\
ssenger compartment or the
tailgate. They will also activate or deactivate the vehicle's alarm syst\
em(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.

WARNING!
Never use the transmitter to lock the doors from inside the vehicle.
Doing so would ACTIVATE:

- the optional interior motion and inclination alarm sensors.
Doing so would DEACTIVATE:

to unlock the vehicle.
In addition, locking an occupied vehicle would hinder rapid access to th\
e occupants in an accident or
emergency.
