Adjust the head restraint vertically
Each of the rear seating positions is equipped
with a head restraint that can be adjusted ver-
tically to suit the height of the passenger. The
upper edge of the head restraint should be at
least on a level with the upper-most point of the
seat occupant's ear (see illustration).
WARNING
The center rear seat head restraint should
only be in its lowest position when this seat
is NOT occupied. When the center position
is occupied, the head restraint should be
correctly adjusted to the passenger’s
height. The upper edge of the head restraint
should be at least on a level with the upper-
most point of the seat occupant's ear.

To raise: Slide the head restraint up to the
desired height.

To lower: Press the catch at the base of the
right support and press the head restraint
down.

To remove: Pull the head restraint up far as
possible. Press the catch at the base of the
right support and pull the head restraint out
of the its holders.
WARNING
If a head restraint has been removed, it must
be put properly back in place and it must
lock (click) into one of the available adjust-
ment positions before the seat is occupied.

and pull it forward.
2. Pull the catch on the upper outboard edge
of the backrest upward and forward to
release the backrest lock. A red lock indi-
cator is visible when the backrest is not
locked in the upright position.
3. Fold the backrest down partially and
remove the outboard head restraints.
Press the center head restraint down com-
pletely or remove it.
4. Place the head restraints in the plastic
tubes, which are now accessible on the
under side of the seat cushions.
WARNING
The center rear seat head restraint should
only be in its lowest position when this seat
is NOT occupied. When the center position
is occupied, the head restraint should be
correctly adjusted to the passenger’s
height. The upper edge of the head restraint
should be at least on a level with the upper-
most point of the seat occupant's ear.
NOTE
When folding down the rear seat backrests,
remove the plug in the rear 12-volt socket to
help avoid marks in the upholstery.
WARNING
•The red lock indicator is VISIBLE when
the backrest is NOT locked in position
and hidden when the backrest is cor-
rectly locked in place. When the back-
rest is in the upright position, it must
always be correctly locked in place.
•When the rear seat is folded down, do
not place heavy objects against the
backs of the front seats. This places a
severe strain on the folded down back-
rest of the rear seat. Be sure to secure
cargo.
•Cargo must not be stacked higher than
the top of seat backs. This will reduce
the possibility of luggage, etc. becom-
ing projectiles during sudden maneu-
vers, rapid braking or an accident.

Remote keys
Two remote keys that also function as ignition
keys are provided with your car. The remote
keys contain detachable metal key blades for
manually locking or unlocking the driver's door
and the glove compartment.
USA – FCC ID: LTQVO315TXThis device complies with part 15 of the FCC
rules. Operation is subject to the following con-
ditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device must accept
any interference received, including interfer-
ence that may cause undesired operation.
Canada – IC: 3659AVO315TXOperation is subject to the following condi-
tions: (1) this device may not cause interfer-
ence, and (2) this device must accept any inter-
ference, including interference that may cause
undesired operation of the device.
Loss of a remote key
If either of the remote keys is lost, the other
must be taken with the car to a Volvo retailer.
As an anti-theft measure, the code of the lost
remote key must be erased from the system.
Each key blade has a unique code, which is
used if new key blades are required. A maxi-
mum of six remote keys/key blades can be
programmed and used for one car.
Immobilizer (start inhibitor)
Each of the keys supplied with your car con-
tains a coded transponder. 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 car will start
only with a properly coded key. If you misplace
a key, take the other keys to an authorized
Volvo retailer for reprogramming as an antitheft
measure.
CAUTION
Never use force on the narrow section of the
remote key – this is where the transponder
is located. The car cannot be started if the
transponder is damaged.
