2. All of the indicator lights will flash sequen-
tially for approximately 7 seconds to indi-
cate that the PCC is receiving information
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.
Steady red light: the alarm has been trig-
gered.
Both red lights flash alternatively: the alarm
was triggered less than 5 minutes ago.
RangeThe PCC's lock and unlock functions have a
range of approximately 60 ft. (20 m) from the
vehicle.
NOTE
•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.
•Radio waves, buildings or other obsta-
cles may interfere with the function of
the PCC.
If the vehicle does not provide confirmation
when a button has been pressed, try moving
closer and pressing the button again.
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's
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.

The buttons on the keyless drive remote key
can also be used to lock and unlock the
vehicle, see page 56 for more information.
Both of the PCCs provided with the vehicle
have the keyless function, and additional ones
can be ordered. The system can accommo-
date up to six PCCs.
The red rings in the illustration indicate the area
around the vehicle that is within range of the
keyless drive antennas.
Unlocking the vehicle
•A keyless drive remote key must be on the
same side of the vehicle as the door to be
opened, and be within 5 feet (1.5 meters)
of the door's lock or the trunk (see the sha-
ded areas in the illustration).

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

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.

door is locked
The button in each of the rear side doors locks
