WARNING!
Keep vehicle doors and the luggage compartment locked and keep keys out of a child's reach. Unsupervised
children could lock themselves in an open trunk and risk injury. Children should be taught not to play in vehicles.
On hot days, the temperature in the trunk or vehicle interior can rise very quickly. Exposure of people to these
high temperatures for even a short period of time can cause heat-related injury or death. Small children are
particularly at risk.
WARNING!
When the backrest is returned to the upright position, check that it is properly locked in place. Return the head
restraints to the upright position.
Long loads should always be securely anchored to help avoid injury in the event of a sudden stop.
Always turn the engine off and apply the parking brake when loading/ unloading the vehicle.
Place the transmission in the (P)ark position (automatic transmission) to help prevent inadvertent movement of the
gear selector.
The vehicle features a 60/40 split fold-downs rear seat. This function is performed by handles inside the trunk,
and also provides a means for children and adults to enter the passenger compartment in the event they become
locked inside the trunk.
Adults are advised to familiarize themselves with the operation and location of the release handles.
To fold down the rear seats from inside the trunk, pull the release control handles located on either side of the
trunk.

and the door is then closed. A sound from the lock will be audible at this time.
Please note that this function will not unlock the doors if the engine is running.
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 are required. A maximum of six remote
controls/keys can be programmed and used for one vehicle. If you misplace a key, take the other keys to an authorized
Volvo retailer for reprogramming as an antitheft measure.
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 operation.

Remote control
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
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 vehicle's alarm system(s). The vehicle can also be locked/ unlocked with the key.
If one of the transmitters is misplaced, contact your nearest authorized Volvo retailer for replacement.
