Your vehicle is equipped with two coded
remote key transmitters with integrated ignition
key blades called Key Integrated Remote (KIR).
To unlock/lock the vehicle using the key blade:
•Insert the key blade in the driver's door lock
and turn it once to unlock the driver's door
only.
•Turn the key blade again (within 10 sec-
onds) to unlock all doors and the tailgate.
•Turn the key blade once in the opposite
direction to lock all doors and the tailgate.
Use the switch on the driver's door armrest to
lock/unlock the vehicle from the inside.
WARNING
If the doors are locked while driving, this
may hinder rapid access to the occupants
of the vehicle in the event of an accident.
(Also see information on "Child safety
locks".)
NOTE
To help prevent accidentally locking the
keys in the vehicle, the central locking sys-
tem is designed to unlock the doors imme-
diately if the key is left in the ignition switch,
the vehicle is locked using the lock button
on the door and the door is then closed. A
sound from the lock will be audible at this
time.
Please note that this function will not unlock
the doors if the engine is running.
Immobilizer (start inhibitor)Each of the keys supplied with your vehicle
contains a coded transmitter. 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 vehicle will
start only with a properly coded key.
Each key has a unique code, which your Volvo
retailer uses if new keys are required. A maxi-
mum of six remote keys can be programmed
and used for one vehicle.If you misplace a key, take the other keys to an
authorized Volvo retailer for reprogramming as
an antitheft measure.
If two of the keys to your vehicle are close
together, e.g., on the same key ring, when you
try to start the vehicle, this could cause inter-
ference in the immobilizer system and result in
the vehicle not starting. If this should occur,
remove one of the keys from the key ring before
trying to start the vehicle again.
NOTE
This device complies with part 15 of the
FCC rules. Operation is subject to the fol-
lowing condition: (1) This device may not
cause harmful interference, and (2) this
device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.

G026963
Your vehicle is equipped with two coded
remote key transmitters with integrated ignition
keys called Key Integrated Remote (KIR).
The remote key transmitters will also activate
or allow "keyless" entry into the passenger
compartment or the tailgate. These transmit-
ters use a radio frequency that will enable you
to lock/unlock all doors and the tailgate from a
distance of 10 – 15 feet (3 – 5 meters). They will
also activate or deactivate your vehicle's alarm
system(s). The vehicle can also be locked/
unlocked with the key.
If 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.

ically unlock all doors.
•The key blade may also be used to lock
and unlock the doors, and to activate
and deactivate the alarm system.
•To avoid leaving your keys in the vehi-
cle, make a habit of always locking the
vehicle with the remote key.
•If the key blade section of the remote is
not fully folded out when starting the
vehicle, the immobilizer function may
make it impossible to start the engine.
•The vehicle can be locked even if a door
is open. When the door(s) are closed,
they will be locked. Please be aware
that the keys could be locked in the car
when this is done.
Automatic re-lockingIf the doors are unlocked, the locks will auto-
matically reengage (re-lock) and the alarm will
rearm after 2 minutes unless a door or the tail-
gate has been opened. This helps prevent the
car from inadvertently being left unlocked.

WARNING
Never use the transmitter to lock the doors
from inside the vehicle.
•Doing so would ACTIVATE:
•the break-in alarm, which would sound
if one of the doors were opened
•the optional interior motion and inclina-
tion alarm sensors.
•Doing so would DEACTIVATE:
•the moonroof and interior courtesy light
controls.
•the central locking buttons on the front
door armrests, although the interior
door handles would still function to
allow occupants to leave the vehicle.
•Disabled features would remain disa-
bled until the remote is used again to
unlock the vehicle.
•In addition, locking an occupied vehicle
would hinder rapid access to the occu-
pants in an accident or emergency.
Replacing the battery in the remote keyIf the range of the transmitter is noticeably
reduced, this indicates that the battery is weak
and should be replaced.
To replace the battery:1. Carefully pry open the rear edge of the
cover with a small screwdriver.
2. Insert a new 3-volt, CR2032 battery, with
the battery's plus side up. Avoid touching
the contact surfaces of the battery with
your fingers.
3. Press the cover back into place. Ensure
that the rubber seal is correctly positioned
to help keep out moisture.
NOTE
The old battery should be disposed of prop-
erly at a recycling center or at your Volvo
retailer.
