closer than they appear to be.
Remote central locking and door mirror memory-option
If you lock the vehicle and later unlock it with the same remote control and open the driver's door, the door mirrors (and
the driver's seat) will automatically move to the position they were in when you left the vehicle. This feature will work in
the same way with all of the remote control transmitters (up to 3) that you use with your vehicle. This feature will not
function if you lock your vehicle with the key.

Two types of keys are provided with your vehicle; master keys and a service (valet) key. The master key, the remote
control, and the central locking button may all be used to lock and unlock all of your vehicle's locks.
The service key will operate only the driver's door and the ignition switch. It is intended to help deter unwanted entry
into the glove compartment and trunk.
Turn the key once to unlock the driver's door only.
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)
ProCarManuals.com

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.

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, a replacement can be purchased from your nearest authorized Volvo retailer for
replacement.

Operation is subject to the following conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must
accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
NOTE
If an airbag deploys, your vehicle's SRS control module will attempt to automatically unlock all doors.
The keys may also be used to lock and unlock the doors, and to activate and deactivate the alarm system.
To avoid leaving your keys in the vehicle, make a habit of always locking the vehicle with the remote control.
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.
The vehicle can be locked even if a door is open. When the door(s) are closed, they will be locked. Please be
aware that the keys could be locked in the car when this is done.
Automatic re-locking
If the doors are unlocked, the locks will automatically reengage (re-lock) and the alarm will rearm after 2 minutes
unless a door or the trunk has been opened. This helps prevent the car from inadvertently being left unlocked.
114 05 Locks and alarm
Remote control
WARNING
Never use the transmitter to lock the doors from inside the vehicle.
Doing so would ACTIVATE:
the break-in alarm, which would sound if one of the doors were opened
the optional interior motion and inclination alarm sensors. Doing so would DEACTIVATE:
the moonroof and interior courtesy light controls.
the central locking buttons on the front door armrests, although the interior door handles would still function to
allow occupants to leave the vehicle.
Disabled features would remain disabled until the remote is used again to unlock the vehicle.
In addition, locking an occupied vehicle would hinder rapid access to the occupants in an accident or emergency.
Replacing the battery in the remote control

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 92 and 94
.
2. 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.
3. 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.
1If 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 result in the vehicle not starting. If this should occur, remove one of the keys from the key ring before trying to start
the vehicle again.
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.
To release the gear selector from the P 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 off, the
gear selector must be in the P position before the key can be removed from the ignition switch.
When starting in cold weather, the transmission may shift up at slightly higher engine speeds than normal until the
automatic transmission fluid reaches normal operating temperature.
WARNING
An extra mat on the driver's floor can cause the accelerator pedal to catch. Check that the movement of the
accelerator pedal is not impeded. No more than one protective floor covering may be used at one time.
WARNING
Always place the gear selector in Park or in reverse on models with a manual transmission, and apply the parking
brake before leaving the vehicle. Never leave the vehicle unattended with the engine running.
Always open garage doors fully before starting the engine inside a garage to ensure adequate ventilation. The exhaust
gases contain carbon monoxide, which is invisible and odorless but very poisonous
