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. The visible ends of these key blades
are unique to make it easier to identify "your"
remote key. 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
slot if children are to remain in the vehicle.
See page 84 for more information on the var-
ious ignition modes.
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 61 for more information
on the key blade. The key blades have a unique
code, which is used if new ones need to be
produced. This code is available at an author-
ized Volvo retailer.
The visible ends of these key blades are unique
to make it easier to identify "your" remote key.
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.

your possession and lock any door, the
position of the driver's seat and door mir-
rors will be stored in the seat's memory.
•The next time a door is opened by a person
with the same PCC in his/her possession,
the driver's seat and door mirrors will auto-
matically move to the position that they
were in when the door was most recently
locked.
NOTE
If several people carrying PCCs approach
the vehicle at the same time, the driver's
seat and door mirrors will assume the posi-
tions they were in for the person who opens
the driver's door.
See also page 87 for information on adjusting
and storing the seat's position in the seat mem-
ory.

while the engine is running or if the ignition is
in mode II (see page 84) and all of the doors
are closed, a message will appear in the instru-
ment panel display and an audible signal will
sound.When at least one PCC has been returned to
the car, the message will be erased in the dis-

slot
•The OK button (see page 189 for the loca-
tion of this button) has been pressed.
CAUTION
•Keyless drive remote keys should never
be left in the vehicle. In the event of a

less drive system. The remote key
should never be placed closer than
approximately 4-6 in. (10-15 cm) to cell

67 Locking and unlocking the vehicle
From outside the vehicleThe remote key locks and unlocks all of the
doors and the tailgate.
Before the vehicle can be locked from the out-
side with the remote key, the driver's door must
be closed. Any other door/tailgate that is open
will be locked and the alarm will be armed.
NOTE
Be sure the remote key is outside of the
vehicle before the other doors/tailgate are
closed to help avoid locking the remote
inside the vehicle.
If the vehicle is equipped with the optional key-
less drive system, all doors/tailgate must be
closed before the vehicle can be locked.
The first press on the unlock button unlocks the
driver's door and a second press unlocks the
other doors and the tailgate (see also page 59).
This setting can be changed in the menu sys-
tem. See page 191 for a description.
If the locks repeatedly do not react when the
unlock button is pressed, it may be necessary
to replace the batteries in the remote, see
page 58. In this case the vehicle can be
unlocked with the detachable key blade. See
page 62.
