To unlock/lock the vehicle using the key blade:
•
Insert the key blade in the driver's door lock
and turn it once to unlock the driver's door
only.
•
Turn the key blade again (within 10 sec-
onds) to unlock all doors and the trunk.
•
Turn the key blade once in the opposite
direction to lock all doors and the trunk.
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 the information about "Child
safety locks" on page 114.
NOTE
To help prevent accidentally locking the
keys in the vehicle, the central locking sys-
tem is designed to unlock the doors imme-
diately 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)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 maxi-mum of six remote controls/keys can be pro-
grammed 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.

NOTE
•
If an airbag deploys, your vehicle's SRS
control module will attempt to automat-
ically 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 vehi-
cle, 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-lockingIf the doors are unlocked, the locks will auto-
matically 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.
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 inclina-
tion 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.
