WARNING!
If the doors are locked while driving, this may hinder rapid access to t\
he occupants of the vehicle in
the event of an accident. (Also see information on "Child safety locks"\
).
NOTE: To help prevent accidentally locking the keys in the vehicle, the centra\
l locking system is
designed to unlock the doors immediately if the key is left in the ignit\

Immobilizer (start inhibitor)
Each of the keys supplied with your vehicle contains a coded transmitter\
. The code in the key is
transmitted to an antenna in the ignition switch where it is compared to\
the code stored in the start
inhibitor module. The vehicle will start only with a properly coded key.\
Each key has a unique code, which your Volvo retailer uses if new keys a\
re required. A maximum of six
remote controls/keys can be programmed and used for one car.
If you misplace a key, take the other keys to an authorized Volvo retail\
er for reprogramming as an
antitheft measure.
If two of the keys to your vehicle are close together, e.g., on the same\
key ring, when you try to start the
vehicle, this could cause interference in the immobilizer system and res\
ult in the vehicle not starting. If
this should occur, remove one of the keys from the key ring before tryin\
g to start the vehicle again.
NOTE: This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject\
to the following
condition: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2\
) this device must accept any
interference received, including interference that may cause undesired o\
peration.

ssenger compartment or the
