Range of the keyless drive remote key–5 ft
(1.5 meters)
This system makes it possible to unlock and
lock the vehicle without having to use the
remote key. It is only necessary to have a key-
less drive remote key in your possession to
operate the central locking system.
NOTE
The buttons on the keyless drive remote key
can also be used to lock and unlock the
vehicle, see page 122 for more information.
Both of the remote keys provided with the vehi-
cle have the keyless function, and additional
remotes can be ordered. The system can
accommodate up to six keyless drive remote
keys.
NOTE
The number of doors that are unlocked at
the same time can be set in the Personal
settings menu, see page 81 for additional
information.
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 lock or the trunk opening control (see
the shaded areas in the illustration).
•Pull a door handle to unlock and open the
door or press the trunk opening control.
•See page 149 for information on starting a
vehicle equipped with keyless drive.
Locking the vehicle

Locking or unlocking the vehicle with the
key blade
G020225
Keyless drive keyhole cover
The driver's door on vehicles equipped with
keyless drive can be locked or unlocked with
the remote key's detachable key blade if nec-
essary, see page 124 for information on remov-
ing the key blade from the remote key. To
access the keyhole in the driver's door:
•Pry off the keyhole cover by inserting the
key blade or a small screwdriver in the hole
on the underside of the cover (indicated by
the arrow in the inset illustration).
•Insert the key blade as far as possible in the
driver's door lock. Turn the key blade
clockwise approximately one-quarter turnto unlock the driver's door only. This will
trigger the alarm.
•To disable the alarm: Press the Unlock
button on the keyless drive remote key. If
the batteries in the remote are weak,
remove the keyless drive start control from
the ignition switch by pressing the catch
(see the illustration on page 149) and pull-
ing the control out of the ignition switch.
Insert the ignition key section of a keyless
drive remote key in the ignition switch.
Keyless drive remote key and driver's
seat memory
This function is only available on vehicles
equipped with the optional power driver's seat.
•When you leave the car with a keyless drive
remote key in your possession and lock
any door, the position of the driver's seat
will be stored in the seat's memory.
•The next time a door is opened by a person
with the same remote key in his/her pos-
session, the driver's seat will automatically
move to the position that it was in when the
door was most recently locked.
NOTE
If several people carrying keyless drive
remote keys approach the vehicle at the
same time, the driver's seat will assume the
position it was in for the person who opens
a door first.
Keyless drive information messagesIf anyone leaves the vehicle with the only key-
less drive remote key in his or her possession
while the ignition is switched on, a message will
be shown in the information display and an
audible signal will sound.
NOTE
This message will only be displayed if the
start control is in position I or II.
The message will be erased from the display
and the audible signal will stop when the
remote key has been returned to the vehicle
and one of the following has occurred:
•A door has been opened and closed
•The start control has been turned to posi-
tion 0
•The READ button (see page 61 for the
location of this button) has been pressed.

non-approved key (a key not coded to the
car's ignition).
•If there is movement in the passenger com-
partment (if the car is equipped with the
optional movement sensor).
•The car is lifted or towed (if the car is equip-
ped with the optional inclination sensor)
•The battery is disconnected (while the
alarm is armed).
•The siren is disconnected when the alarm
is disarmed.
•The alarm system functions in the same
way, regardless of whether the power
retractable hard top is raised or lowered.

Deposit control gasoline (detergent
additives)
Volvo recommends the use of detergent gas-
oline to control engine deposits. Detergent
gasoline is effective in keeping injectors and
intake valves clean. Consistent use of deposit
control gasolines will help ensure good driva-
bility and fuel economy. If you are not sure
whether the gasoline contains deposit control
additives, check with the service station oper-
ator.
NOTE
Volvo does not recommend the use of
store-bought fuel injector cleaning addi-
tives.
Unleaded fuel
Each Volvo has a three-way catalytic converter
and must use only unleaded gasoline. U.S. and
Canadian regulations require that pumps deliv-
ering unleaded gasoline be labelled "UNLEA-
DED". Only these pumps have nozzles which
fit your vehicle's filler inlet. It is unlawful to dis-
pense leaded fuel into a vehicle labelled
"unleaded gasoline only". Leaded gasoline
damages the three-way catalytic converter and
the heated oxygen sensor system. Repeated
use of leaded gasoline will lessen the effective-ness of the emission control system and could
result in loss of emission warranty coverage.
State and local vehicle inspection programs
will make detection of misfueling easier, pos-
sibly resulting in emission test failure for mis-
fueled vehicles.
NOTE
Some U.S. and Canadian gasolines contain
an octane enhancing additive called methyl-
cyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl
(MMT). If such fuels are used, your Emission
Control System performance may be affec-
ted, and the Check Engine Light (malfunc-
tion indicator lamp) located on your instru-
ment panel may light. If this occurs, please
return your vehicle to a trained and qualified
Volvo service technician for maintenance.
Gasoline containing alcohol and ethers
Some fuel suppliers sell gasoline containing
"oxygenates" which are usually alcohols or
ethers. In some areas, state or local laws
require that the service pump be marked indi-
cating use of alcohols or ethers. However,
there are areas in which the pumps are
unmarked. If you are not sure whether there is
alcohol or ethers in the gasoline you buy, check
with the service station operator. To meet sea-
sonal air quality standards, some areas require
the use of "oxygenated" fuel. Volvo allows theuse of the following "oxygenated" fuels; how-
ever, the octane ratings listed on this page
must still be met.
Alcohol – Ethanol: Fuels containing up to 10%
ethanol by volume may be used. Ethanol may
also be referred to as Ethyl alcohol, or "Gaso-
hol".
Ethers – MTBE: Fuels containing up to 15%
MTBE may be used.
MethanolDo not use gasolines containing methanol
(methyl alcohol, wood alcohol). This practice
can result in vehicle performance deterioration
and can damage critical parts in the fuel sys-
tem. Such damage may not be covered under
the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
Fuel filler door
Press the button on the light switch panel (see
the illustration on page 66) with the ignition
switched off to unlock the fuel filler door.
Please note that the fuel filler door will remain
unlocked until the vehicle begins to move for-
ward. An audible click will be heard when the
fuel filler door relocks.
If you intend to leave your vehicle while it is
being refueled, this feature enables you to lock
the doors/trunk while leaving the fuel filler door
unlocked.
