General information
Warning symbols in the instrument panel
As an enhancement to the three-point seat
belts, your Volvo is equipped with a Supple-
mental Restraint System (SRS). Volvo\fs SRS
consists of seat belt pretensioners, front air-
bags, side impact airbags, a front passenger
occupant weight sensor, and inflatable cur-
tains. All of these systems are monitored by the
SRS control module. An SRS warning light in
the instrument panel (see the illustration) illu-
minates when the ignition is in modes
I, II, or
III, and will normally go out after approximately
6 seconds if no faults are detected in the sys-
tem.
Where applicable, a text message will also be
displayed when the SRS warning light illumi-
nates. If this warning symbol is not functioning properly, the general warning symbol illumi-
nates and a text message will be displayed.
See page 74 for more information about indi-
cator and warning symbols.
WARNING
\b
If the SRS warning light stays on after
the engine has started or if it illuminates
while you are driving, have the vehicle
inspected by a trained and qualified
Volvo service technician as soon as
possible.
\b Never try to repair any component or
part of the SRS yourself. Any interfer-
ence in the system could cause mal-
function and serious injury. All work on
these systems should be performed by
a trained and qualified Volvo service
technician.
WARNING If your vehicle has been subjected to flood
conditions (e.g. soaked carpeting/standing
water on the floor of the vehicle) or if your
vehicle has become flood-damaged in any
way, do not attempt to start the vehicle or
insert the remote control into the ignition
slot before disconnecting the battery (see
below). This may cause airbag deployment
which could result in personal injury. Have
the vehicle towed to a trained and qualified
Volvo service technician for repairs.
Automatic transmission:
Before attempting to tow the vehicle, use
the following procedure to override the
shiftlock system to move the gear selector
to the neutral position:
1. Switch off the ignition for at least
10 minutes and disconnect the battery
2. Wait at least one minute.
3. Insert the remote key into the ignition slot and press the Start button (without
depressing brake pedal) to go to ignition
mode II. See page 79 for more infor-
mation.
4. Press firmly on the brake pedal.
5. Move the gear selector from Park ( P) to
the Neutral (N) position. See page 110
for information on manually overriding
the shiftlock system. G022831

50 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 com-
ponents. The remote keys contain detachable
metal key blades for manually locking or
unlocking the driver\fs door and the glove com-
partment. Up to six remotes can be pro-
grammed for use on the same vehicle.
The PCCs have enhanced functionality com-
pared with the standard remote control.
NOTE
In the remainder of this chapter, all referen-
ces 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 bladeEach remote key or PCC contains a detachable
metal key blade for mechanically locking or
unlocking the driver\fs door and the glove com-
partment. The key blades have a unique code,
which is used if new ones need to be produced. This code is available at an authorized Volvo
retailer.
Loss of a remote keyIf a remote key is lost, the other one must be
taken with the vehicle to a trained and qualified
Volvo service technician. As an anti-theft
measure, the code of the lost remote must be
erased from the system.
The number of registered keys for the vehicle
can be found in the vehicle\fs menu under
Car
settings Car key memory Number of
keys. See page 122 for a description of the
menu system.

Key memory – door mirrors and driver\fs
seat
The position of the side door mirrors and
optional power driver\fs seat are stored in the
remote keys when the vehicle is locked. The
next time the driver\fs door is unlocked with the
same remote key and the door is opened within
2 minutes, the power driver\fs seat and side
door mirrors will automatically move to the
position that they were in when the doors were
most recently locked with the same remote
key. See page 82 for more information.

Confirmation when locking/unlocking
the vehicle
When the vehicle is locked with a remote key,
the turn signals will flash once to confirm that
this has been completed correctly.
When the vehicle is locked, confirmation will
only be given if all of the locks are locked after
the doors have been closed.
NOTE
If you do not receive confirmation when
locking the vehicle, check whether a door or
the tailgate is ajar, or if this feature has been
turned off in the menu.
This function can be activated or deactivated

tem.
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 reprog-
ramming as an antitheft measure. The follow-
ing messages (which may appear in the instru-
ment panel display) are related to the immobil-
izer: Message Meaning

from the vehicle. If any of the buttons are
pressed during this 7-second period,
transmission of information to the PCC will
be interrupted.
NOTE
If none of the indicator lights flash when the
information button has been pressed sev-
eral times from different places in relation to
the vehicle, contact an authorized Volvo
service technician.
The indicator lights provide information
according to the illustration: Steady green light: the vehicle is correctly
locked.
Steady yellow light: the vehicle is not
locked.
Alternatively flashing red lights (Heartbeat
sensor): if the two heartbeat sensor lights
flash, this indicates that someone may be
inside the vehicle. These lights are only
activated if the alarm has been triggered.
Steady red light: the alarm has been trig-
gered.
RangeThe PCC\fs lock and unlock functions have a
range of approximately 60 ft. (20 m) from the
vehicle.
NOTE \b
The approach lighting, panic alarm, and
the functions controlled by the informa-
tion button have a range of approxi-
mately 300 ft (100 m) from the vehicle.
\b Buildings or other obstacles may inter-
fere with the function of the PCC.
Outside of the PCC´s rangeIf the PCC is more than approximately 300 ft
(100 m) from the vehicle when the information
button is pressed, no new information will be
received. The PCC most recently used to lock
or unlock the vehicle will show the vehicle\fs
most recently received status. The indicator
lights will not flash when the information button
is pressed while the PCC is out of range.
If more than one PCC is used to lock/unlock
the vehicle, only the one used most recently will
show the correct locking status.
NOTE If none of the indicator lights illuminate when
the information button is pressed, this may
be because the most recent transmission
between the vehicle and the PCC was inter-
rupted or impeded by buildings or other
objects. G03026
