remote controls/keys can be programmed and used for one vehicle.
If you misplace a key, take the other keys to an authorized Volvo retail\
er for reprogramming as an
antitheft measure.

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 tailgate from a distance of 10-15 feet (3-5 me\
ters).
The transmitters will also activate or allow "keyless" entry into the pa\
ssenger compartment or the
tailgate. They will also activate or deactivate your vehicle's alarm sys\
tem(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.
