65 Locking and unlocking the vehicle
From outside the vehicleThe remote key locks all of the doors and the
trunk.
If the locks repeatedly do not react when the
unlock button is pressed, it may be necessary
to replace the batteries in the remote, see
page 56. In this case the vehicle can be
unlocked with the detachable key blade. See
page 59 for information on removing the key
blade from the remote key.
The first press on the unlock button unlocks the
driver's door and a second press unlocks the
other doors and the trunk (see also page 56).
NOTE
The vehicle cannot be locked if a door is
open.
Manual lockingIn certain situations (e.g., if there is no electrical
current in the vehicle), the doors can be locked
manually.
The detachable key blade (see page 59) can be
used in the lock cylinder in the driver's door to
lock that door.
The other doors do not have lock cylinders and
the slot on the rear edge of each door has tobe used to lock it. This will lock the door from
the outside but it can still be opened from
inside the vehicle. To do so:
Manually locking a door

Insert the key blade into the slot and turn it
90 degrees to lock that door (the slot in a
particular door locks that door only).
In the horizontal position, the door cannot
be opened from the outside.
In the vertical position, the door can be
opened from the inside and the outside.
NOTE
If the manual child safety lock (see
page 51) is activated for a rear side door and
that door is also locked manually, the door
cannot be opened from the outside or
inside. The door can only be unlocked with
the remote key or the central locking button.
From inside the vehicle (central locking
button)
Central locking button
The lock buttons on the door panel can be used
to lock or unlock all doors and the trunk at the
same time. Press
to lock and to
unlock.
UnlockingThe vehicle can be unlocked from inside the
vehicle in two ways:

button:
•If the light is on, this indicates that all of the
doors are locked.
If there are central locking buttons in both front
doors and electric lock buttons in the rear side
doors:
•If a light is on in one of the buttons, this
means that only that door is locked. When
the lights are on in all of the buttons, all of
the doors are locked.

dle on the inside of the trunk lid, which can be
used in an emergency situation to open the
trunk from the inside. Pull the handle down to
release the trunk lid. After use, the handle must
be pushed back into its original position before

WARNING
•Keep vehicle doors and trunk locked
and keep keys out of a child’s reach.
Unsupervised children could lock them-
selves in an open trunk and risk injury.
Children should be taught not to play in
vehicles.
•On hot days, the temperature in the
trunk or vehicle interior can rise very
quickly. Exposure of people to these
high temperatures for even a short
period of time can cause heat-related
injury or death. Small children are par-
ticularly at risk.

The alarm system
The alarm is automatically armed whenever the
vehicle is locked with the remote key or

When armed, the alarm continuously monitors
a number of points on the vehicle. The follow-
ing conditions will trigger the alarm:
•The hood is forced open.
•The trunk is forced open
•A door is forced open.
•The ignition slot is tampered with.
•An attempt is made to start the vehicle with
a non-approved key (a key not coded to
the car's ignition).
•If there is movement in the passenger com-
partment (if the vehicle is equipped with
the accessory movement sensor).
•The vehicle is lifted or towed (if the vehicle
is equipped with the accessory inclination
sensor).
•The battery is disconnected (while the
alarm is armed).
•The siren is disconnected when the alarm
is disarmed.
A message will appear in the information dis-
play if a fault should occur in the alarm system.
Contact a trained and qualified Volvo service
technician.
NOTE
Do not attempt to repair any of the compo-
nents in the alarm system yourself. This
could affect the insurance policy on the
vehicle.
