 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.
pg. 97 Locks and alarm
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.

Refueling
CAUTION!
- Do not refuel with the engine running
1. Turn  the ignition off or to position I. If the ignition is on, an  incorrect
reading could occur in the fuel gauge.
- After refueling, close the fuel filler  cap by turning it clockwise until it clicks into place.
1
- Avoid overfilling the fuel tank. Do not press the handle on the filler  nozzle more than one  extra time. Too much
fuel in the tank in hot weather conditions can cause the fuel to overflow. Overfilling  could also cause damage to the
emission control systems.
- Avoid spilling  gasoline during refueling. In addition to causing damage to the environment, gasolines containing
alcohol  can cause damage to painted  surfaces, which  may not be  covered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
- Do not use gasolines containing methanol (methyl alcohol,  wood alcohol). This practice can result in vehicle
performance deterioration and  can damage critical parts  in the fuel system. Such damage may not be  covered under
the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
1. If the fuel  filler  cap  is not closed  tightly or if the engine is running when  the vehicle is refueled, the Check  Engine Light  (malfunction  indicator
lamp)  may indicate  a fault.  However, your vehicle's performance will  not be  affected.  Use  only  Volvo original or approved fuel  filler  caps.
pg. 111 Starting and driving
Starting the vehicle
Starting the engine
- Fasten the seat belt.
WARNING!
Before starting, check that the seat, steering wheel and  mirrors  are adjusted properly. Make sure the brake pedal can
be  depressed  completely.  Adjust the seat if necessary.  See  pages 80
 and  82.
- Apply the parking brake (hand brake) if not already  set. The gear selector (automatic transmission) is locked in the
( P )ark position ( SHIFTLOCK ). Manual transmission: the clutch  must  be  fully depressed.
- Without touching the accelerator  pedal, turn the ignition key
1 to the starting position. Allow the starter to operate  for
up to 10 seconds. Release the key  as soon as the engine starts. If the engine fails to start, repeat  this  step.
NOTE:
 If the key  blade section of the remote is not fully folded out when starting the vehicle, the immobilizer function may
make it impossible to start the engine.
 After a  cold start, idle speed may be  noticeably higher than normal for a  short period. This is done  to help bring
components in the emission control system to their normal operating temperature as quickly as possible, which  enables
them to control emissions  and  help reduce the vehicle's impact on the environment.
 For cold starts at altitudes above 6000 ft (1800 meters), depress the accelerator  pedal halfway and  turn the key  to the
starting position. Release the pedal slowly when the engine starts.
- To release the gear selector from  the ( P)ark position, the engine must  be  running (or the ignition key  must  be  in
position II) and  the brake pedal must  be  depressed.
- Select  the desired gear. The gear engages after a  very slight delay which  is especially noticeable when selecting R.
NOTE : Your vehicle is equipped with a  KEYLOCK  system (automatic transmission). When the engine is switched
