2008 VOLVO C70 alarm

Activating the valet locking function
Begin by removing the key blade from the remote control (see page 115
).
NOTE
The first stages of opening the power retractable hard top offer temporary access to the contents of the trunk.
Therefore, before activating valet locking, the power retractable hard top must be up and the trunk divider must be
open (up), see page 95
. This makes it impossible to operate the power retractable hard top.
Insert the key in the glove compartment lock.
Turn the key blade 180° clockwise to lock the glove compartment and to lock points C, D, E, and F and disconnect
these points from the central locking system (a message appears in the information display).
Remove the key blade from the glove compartment lock.
Give the parking attendant or service personnel only the remote control (with the key blade removed).
Deactivating the valet locking function
Turn the key blade 180° counterclockwise in the glove compartment lock to deactivate valet locking (the trunk can
then be unlocked using the remote control).
See page 124
for information on locking the glove compartment normally.

Locking or unlocking the vehicle with the key blade
The driver's door on vehicles equipped with keyless drive can be locked or unlocked with the remote control's
detachable key blade if necessary. See page 115
for information on removing the key blade from the remote control.
To access the keyhole in the driver's door:
1. Pry off the keyhole cover by inserting the key blade or a small screwdriver in the hole on the underside of the cover
(indicated by the arrow in the inset illustration).
2. Insert the key blade as far as possible in the driver's door lock. Turn the key blade clockwise approximately one
quarter turn to unlock the driver's door only. This will trigger the alarm.
Disabling the alarm : Press the Unlock button on the keyless drive remote control. If the batteries in the remote are
weak, remove the keyless drive start control from the ignition switch by pressing the catch (see the illustration on page
142) and pulling the control out of the ignition switch. Insert the ignition key section of a keyless drive remote control
in the ignition switch.
Keyless drive remote control and driver's seat memory
This function is only available on vehicles equipped with the optional power driver's seat.
When you leave the car with a keyless drive remote control in your possession and lock any door, the position of
the driver's seat will be stored in the seat's memory.
The next time a door is opened by a person with the same remote control in his/her possession, the driver's seat will
automatically move to the position that it was in when the door was most recently locked.
NOTE
If several people carrying keyless drive remote controls approach the vehicle at the same time, the driver's seat will
assume the position it was in for the person who opens a door first.

Keyless drive information messages
If anyone leaves the vehicle with the only keyless drive remote control in his or her possession while the ignition is
switched on, a message will be shown in the information display and an audible signal will sound.

vehicle could make it possible to start the engine.
Electromagnetic fields or metal obstructions can interfere with the keyless drive system. Avoid placing the remote
control near cellular phones, metallic objects or e.g., in a metal briefcase.
