General
The car is supplied with 2 remote control keys
or PCCs (Personal Car Communicator). They
are used to start the car and for locking and
unlocking.
Additional remote control keys can be ordered
- up to 6 can be programmed and used for the
same car.
The remote control key contains a removable
key blade made of metal. The visible section is
available in two versions so that it is possible
to distinguish between the remote control
keys.
The PCC has increased functionality com-
pared with the remote control key. The contin-
uation of this chapter describes the functions
available in both the PCC and the remote con-
trol key.

Remember to switch off the supply to the
power windows and sunroof by removing
the remote control key if the driver leaves
the car.

Alarm*

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.63 General
Activated alarm is triggered if:
•a door, the bonnet or the tailgate is opened
•a movement is detected in the passenger
compartment (if fitted with a movement
detector*)
•the car is raised or towed away (if fitted
with a tilt detector*)
•the battery's cable is disconnected
•the siren is disconnected.
If there is a fault in the alarm system, the infor-
mation display shows a message. In which
case, contact a workshop - an authorised
Volvo workshop is recommended.
NOTE
The movement sensors trigger an alarm in
the event of movement in the passenger
compartment - air currents are also regis-
tered. For this reason the alarm is triggered
if the car is left with a window or the sunroof
open or if the passenger compartment
heater is used.
To avoid this: Close the window/sunroof
when leaving the car. If the car's integrated
passenger compartment heater (or a porta-
ble electric heater) shall be used - direct the
airflow from the air vents so that they are not
pointing upwards in the passenger com-
partment.
NOTE
Do not attempt to repair or modify alarm
system components. All such attempts
could affect the terms of insurance.
Alarm indicator
Same LED as lock indicator, see page 45.
A red LED on the instrument panel indicates
the alarm system's status:
•LED not lit – Alarm not armed
•The LED flashes once every other second
– Alarm is armed
•The LED flashes rapidly after disarming the
alarm (and until the remote control key is
inserted in the ignition switch and key posi-
tion I is selected) – Alarm has been trig-
gered.
Arming the alarm–Press the remote control key lock button.
Deactivate the alarm–Press the remote control key unlock but-
ton.

Functions at different levels
In order to enable the use of a limited number
of functions with the engine switched off, the
car's electrical system can be set in 3 different
levels (key positions) - 0, I and II - with the
remote control key. Throughout this owner's
manual these levels are described using the
denomination "key positions".
The following table shows the functions avail-
able in each key position/level.
LevelFunctions
0•Odometer, clock and tem-
perature gauge are illumi-
nated.
•Power seats can be adjusted.
•The audio system can be
used for a limited time - see

V socket in the passenger
compartment, RTI, phone,
ventilation fan and wind-
screen wipers can be used.
II•The headlamps come on.
•Warning/indicator lamps illu-
minate for 5 seconds.
•Several other systems are
activated. However, heating
