Each of the keys supplied with your vehicle contains a coded transponder. The code in the key is transmitted to an
antenna in the ignition slot where it is compared to the code stored in the start inhibitor module. The vehicle will start
only with a properly coded key. If you misplace a key, take the other keys to a trained and qualified Volvo service
technician for reprogramming as an antitheft measure.

damaged.
