WARNING
The mirrors should always be adjusted prior
to driving. Objects seen in the passenger's
side wide-angle door mirror are closer than
they appear to be.Mirror memory function (with the central

thesame 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.Water repellent glass
The side door mirrors can be treated
with a water repellent coating. The
symbol to the left indicates these windows
have this coating.
The coating improves vision by causing the
water to run off quickly.
For information on cleaning this type of glass,
see page 196.

Keys
G030177
Your vehicle is equipped with two coded
remote control transmitters with integrated
ignition key blades called Key Integrated
Remote (KIR).
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 tailgate.
•
Turn the key blade once in the opposite
direction to lock all doors and the tailgate.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 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.
If 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 inter-
ference 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
This device complies with part 15 of the
FCC rules. Operation is subject to the fol-
lowing condition: (1) This device may not
cause harmful interference, and (2) this
device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.

Your vehicle is equipped with two coded
remote control transmitters with integrated
ignition keys called Key Integrated Remote
(KIR).
The remote control transmitters will also acti-
vate or allow "keyless" entry into the passenger
compartment or the tailgate. These transmit-
ters use a radio frequency that will enable you
to lock/unlock all doors and the tailgate from a
distance of 10 – 15 feet (3 – 5 meters). 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 near-
est authorized Volvo retailer for replacement.

NOTE
•
If an airbag deploys, your vehicle's SRS
control module will attempt to automat-
ically unlock all doors.
•
The key blade 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 tail-
gate has been opened. This helps prevent the
car from inadvertently being left unlocked.

would hinder rapid access to the occu-
pants in an accident or emergency.
