Introduction
Two remote keys or optional Personal Car Communicators (PCC) are provided with your vehicle. They enable you to
unlock the doors and tailgate, and also function as ignition keys to start the vehicle or operate electrical components.
The remote keys contain detachable metal key blades for manually locking or unlocking the driver's door and the glove
compartment. Up to six remotes can be programmed for use on the same vehicle.
The PCCs have enhanced functionality compared with the standard remote control.
NOTE
In the remainder of this chapter, all references to the remote key also pertain to the PCC unless otherwise stated.
WARNING
Never leave the remote key in the ignition if children are to remain in the vehicle.
Detachable key blade
Each remote key or PCC contains a detachable metal key blade for mechanically locking or unlocking the driver's door
and the glove compartment, and to enable the private locking function. See page 57 for more information on the key

Immobilizer (start inhibitor)
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.
CAUTION
Never use force when inserting the remote key in the ignition slot. The vehicle cannot be started if the transponder is
damaged.

Keyless locking and unlocking
This system makes it possible to unlock and lock the vehicle without having to press any buttons on the Personal Car
Communicators (PCC). It is only necessary to have a keyless drive remote control in your possession to operate the
central locking system.
NOTE
The buttons on the keyless drive remote control can also be used to lock and unlock the vehicle. See page 54
for
more information.
Both of the PCCs provided with the vehicle have the keyless function, and additional ones can be ordered. The system
can accommodate up to six PCCs.
The red rings in the illustration indicate the area around the vehicle covered by the keyless drive antennas.
Unlocking the vehicle
A keyless drive remote control must be on the same side of the vehicle as the door to be opened, and be within 5
feet (1.5 meters) of the lock or the tailgate(see the shaded areas in the illustration).
ProCarManuals.com

Pull a door handle to unlock and open the door or pull the tailgate opening control.
The number of doors that are unlocked at the same time can be set in the vehicle's menu system, under Car settings
Lock settings Keyless entry. See page 125 for a description of the menu system.
NOTE
If the PCC does not function normally (weak battery, etc.), the vehicle can be unlocked with the detachable key
blade. See page 57
.
Locking the vehicle
The doors and the tailgate can be locked by pressing the lock button in any of the outside door handles.

before the doors/tailgate can be locked.
Keyless drive remote control and driver's seat/door mirror memory
When you leave the vehicle with a PCC 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 PCC in his/her possession, the driver's seat and door
mirrors will automatically move to the position that they were in when the door was most recently locked.
NOTE
If several people carrying PCCs approach the vehicle at the same time, the driver's seat and door mirrors will assume
the positions they were in for the person who opens the driver's door.
