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

To start this function:
Press the FM  button for several seconds.
To deactivate this function:

Station information will be  shown twice in the display.

Alarms  bulletins  are transmitted automatically  by certain RBDS stations. The function cannot be  deactivated.
