2011 VOLVO XC60 remote control

01 Safety
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)01

21 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's 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 functioningproperly, the general warning symbol illumi-
nates and a text message will be displayed.
See also page 76 and page 78 for more
information about indicator and warning sym-
bols.
WARNING
•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.
•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 key 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:
1. Switch off the ignition for at least
10 minutes and disconnect the battery.
2. Follow the instructions for manually
overriding the shiftlock system on page
113.

01 Safety
Crash mode 01
36
Driving after a collisionIf the vehicle has been involved in a collision,
the text Safety mode See manual may
appear in the information display. This indi-
cates that the vehicle's functionality has been
reduced.
NOTE
This text can only be shown if the display is
undamaged and the vehicle's electrical sys-
tem is intact.
Safety mode is a feature that is triggered if one
or more of the safety systems (e.g. front or side
airbags, an inflatable curtain, or one or more of
the seat belt pretensioners) has deployed. The
collision may have damaged an importantfunction in the vehicle, such as the fuel lines,
sensors for one of the safety systems, the
brake system, etc.
WARNING
•Never attempt to repair the vehicle
yourself or to reset the electrical system
after the vehicle has displayed
Safety
mode See manual. This could result in
injury or improper system function.
•Restoring the vehicle to normal operat-
ing status should only be done by a
trained and qualified Volvo service tech-
nician.
•After Safety mode See manual has
been displayed, if you detect the odor
of fuel vapor, or see any signs of fuel
leakage, do not attempt to start the
vehicle. Leave the vehicle immediately.
Attempting to start the vehicleIf damage to the vehicle is minor and there is
no fuel leakage, you may attempt to start the
vehicle. To do so:
1. Remove the remote key from the ignition
slot and open the driver's door. If a mes-
sage is displayed that the ignition is on,
press the start button.2. Close the driver's door and reinsert the
remote key in the ignition slot.
3. Try to start the vehicle.
If the message
Safety mode See manual is
still displayed, the vehicle should not be driven
and must be towed. Concealed faults may
make the vehicle difficult to control.
Moving the vehicle
If the message Normal mode is displayed
when Safety mode See manual is no longer
displayed, the vehicle may be moved carefully
from its present position, if for example, it is
blocking traffic. It should, however, not be
moved farther than is absolutely necessary.
WARNING
Even if the vehicle appears to be drivable
after Safety mode has been set, it should
not be driven or towed (pulled by another
vehicle). There may be concealed damage
that could make it difficult or impossible to
control. The vehicle should be transported
on a flatbed tow truck to a trained and quali-
fied Volvo service technician for inspection/
repairs.

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's 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 key.
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's door and the glove com-
partment. See page 60 for more information
on the key blade. The key blades have a unique
code, which is used if new ones need to beproduced. This code is available at an author-
ized Volvo retailer.
Loss of a remote keyIf either of the remote keys is lost, the other
should 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.
NOTE
Additional or duplicate remote control keys
can be obtained from any Authorized Volvo
Retailer.
You can also obtain additional or duplicate
remote control keys from certain independ-
ent repair facilities and locksmiths that are
qualified to make remote control keys. Each
key must be programmed to work with your
vehicle.

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.
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.
Keyless driveVehicles equipped with the optional Personal
Car Communicator have the keyless drive
function, see page 63 for detailed informa-
tion.
Detachable key blade
The key blade can be removed from the remote
key. When removed, the key blade can be used
to:
•Lock/unlock the driver's door if the remote
key is not functioning properly
•Lock/unlock the glove compartment (see
page 67)
•Block access to the glove compartment
