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 a\
re 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 m\
easure. 
If two of the keys to your vehicle are close together, e.g., on the same\
 key ring, when you try to start the 
vehicle, this could cause interference in the immobilizer system and res\

erior door handles would still 
function to allow occupants to leave the vehicle.
Disabled features would remain disabled until the remote is used again t\
o unlock the vehicle. 
In addition, locking an occupied vehicle would hinder rapid access to th\
e occupants in an accident or 
emergency.
