Turn the key again (within 10 seconds) to unlock all doors and the trunk.
One turn with the key towards lock in the drivers door locks all doors and the trunk.
Use the switch on the driver's door armrest to lock/unlock the vehicle from the inside.
WARNING!
If the doors are locked while driving, this may hinder rapid access to the 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 central locking system is designed to unlock
the doors immediately if the key is left in the ignition switch, the vehicle is locked using the lock button on the door
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.

RBDS functions HU-650/HU-850
Radio Broadcast Data System - RBDS
This feature, which may not be available in your area, functions only with FM broadcasts. The radio in your vehicle is
equipped with an advanced system allowing information from broadcasters to be transmitted visually, as text, together
with the audio signal. This information is then decoded by the radio and made available for several new and unique
features.
The RBDS or Radio Broadcast Data System operates in the FM band only, and the information transmitted is supplied
exclusively by participating broadcasters. Volvo has no control over the accuracy of the data or information.
Coverage by local broadcasters may be limited at this time, but as the technology and benefits grow, you will find the
radio in your vehicle is equipped to take advantage of this system.
PI (Program Information) Seek:
When an FM station has been stored as a preset, the radio also stores RBDS program information if it is available.
When the preset is selected at a later time, the radio tries to access updated program information. In weak signal areas,
there may be a delay before the station becomes audible. During this delay, "PI seek" will be displayed and there will
be no sound.
PI seek can be interrupted by pressing EXIT.
Radio text
Certain RBDS stations broadcast program information, which can be shown in the display. The text will be shown
twice in the display.
To start this function:
Press the FM button for several seconds.
To deactivate this function:
Press FM briefly.
Station information will be shown twice in the display.
Alarm
Alarms bulletins are transmitted automatically by certain RBDS stations. The function cannot be deactivated.
"Alarm!" is shown in the radio display when an alarm message is sent. The function is used to warn motorists of
serious accidents, etc.
