Remote keys
Two remote keys that also function as ignition
keys are provided with your car. The remote
keys contain detachable metal key blades for
manually locking or unlocking the driver's door
and the glove compartment.

Loss of a remote 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.
California Only:
A list of independent repair facilities and/or
locksmiths known to Volvo that can cut and
code replacement keys can be found:
•on the Volvo website at
http://www.volvocars.com/us/keys
•by calling Volvo Customer Care at
1-800-458-1552
Each key blade has a unique code, which is
used if new key blades are required. A maxi-
mum of six remote keys/key blades can be
programmed and used for one car.
Immobilizer (start inhibitor)
Each of the keys supplied with your car con-
tains a coded transponder. 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 car will start
only with a properly coded key. If you misplace
a key, take the other keys to an authorized
Volvo retailer for reprogramming as an antitheft
measure.
CAUTION
Never use force on the narrow section of the
remote key – this is where the transponder
is located. The car cannot be started if the
transponder is damaged.

NOTE
•Immobilizer: 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 interference 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.
•Keylock: The automatic transmission
has a keylock system. When the engine
is switched off, the gear selector must
be in the Park (P) position before the key
can be removed from the ignition
switch
1.
•When starting in cold weather, an auto-
matic transmission may shift up at
slightly higher engine speeds than nor-
mal until the automatic transmission
fluid reaches normal operating tem-
perature.
•Do not race a cold engine immediately
after starting. Oil flow may not reach
some lubrication points fast enough to
prevent engine damage.
WARNING
•Always place the gear selector in Park
(P) and apply the parking brake before
leaving the vehicle. Never leave the
vehicle unattended with the engine run-
ning.
•Always open garage doors fully before
starting the engine inside a garage to
ensure adequate ventilation. The
exhaust gases contain carbon monox-
ide, which is invisible and odorless but
very poisonous.
CAUTION
Automatic transmission: The engine
should be idling when you move the gear
selector. Never accelerate until after you
feel the transmission engage! Accelerating
immediately after selecting a gear will cause
harsh engagement and premature trans-
mission wear. Selecting P or N when idling
at a standstill for prolonged periods of time
will help prevent overheating of the auto-
matic transmission fluid.
1The optional keyless drive start control does not need to be removed from the ignition switch.
