Introduction
Important warnings
14
Driver distraction
A driver has a responsibility to do everything
possible to ensure his or her own safety and
the safety of passengers in the vehicle and oth-
ers sharing the roadway. Avoiding distractions
is part of that responsibility.
Driver distraction results from driver activities
that are not directly related to controlling the
vehicle in the driving environment. Your new
Volvo is, or can be, equipped with many fea-
ture-rich entertainment and communication
systems. These include hands-free cellular tel-
ephones, navigation systems, and multipur-
pose audio systems. You may also own other
portable electronic devices for your own con-
venience. When used properly and safely, they
enrich the driving experience. Improperly used,
any of these could cause a distraction.
For all of these systems, we want to provide the
following warning that reflects the strong Volvo
concern for your safety. Never use these devi-
ces or any feature of your vehicle in a way that
distracts you from the task of driving safely.
Distraction can lead to a serious accident. In
addition to this general warning, we offer the
following guidance regarding specific newer
features that may be found in your vehicle:
•Never use a hand-held cellular telephone
while driving. Some jurisdictions prohibitcellular telephone use by a driver while the
vehicle is moving.
•If your vehicle is equipped with a naviga-
tion system, set and make changes to your
travel itinerary only with the vehicle parked.
•Never program your audio system while
the vehicle is moving. Program radio pre-
sets with the vehicle parked, and use your
programmed presets to make radio use
quicker and simpler.
•Never use portable computers or personal
digital assistants while the vehicle is mov-
ing.
Accessory installation
•We strongly recommend that Volvo owners
install only genuine, Volvo-approved
accessories, and that accessory installa-
tions be performed only by a trained and
qualified Volvo service technician.
•Genuine Volvo accessories are tested to
ensure compatibility with the performance,
safety, and emission systems in your vehi-
cle. Additionally, a trained and qualified
Volvo service technician knows where
accessories may and may not be safely
installed in your Volvo. In all cases, please
consult a trained and qualified Volvo serv-
ice technician before installing any acces-
sory in or on your vehicle.
•Accessories that have not been approved
by Volvo may or may not be specifically
tested for compatibility with your vehicle.
Additionally, an inexperienced installer
may not be familiar with some of your car's
systems.
•Any of your car's performance and safety
systems could be adversely affected if you
install accessories that Volvo has not tes-
ted, or if you allow accessories to be instal-
led by someone unfamiliar with your vehi-
cle.
•Damage caused by unapproved or
improperly installed accessories may not
be covered by your new vehicle warranty.
See your Warranty and Service Records
Information booklet for more warranty
information. Volvo assumes no responsi-
bility for death, injury, or expenses that
may result from the installation of non-gen-
uine accessories.

02 Instruments and controls
HomeLink® Wireless Control System*

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.89 Introduction
G030070
The HomeLink1 Wireless Control System pro-
vides a convenient way to replace up to three
hand-held radio-frequency (RF) transmitters
used to activate devices such as gate opera-
tors, garage door openers, entry door locks,
security systems, even home lighting. Addi-
tional HomeLink information can be found on
the Internet at www.homelink.com or by phon-
ing the hotline at 1–800–355–3515.
WARNING
•If you use HomeLink to open a garage
door or gate, be sure no one is near the
gate or door while it is in motion.
•When programming a garage door
opener, it is advised to park outside of
the garage.
•Do not use HomeLink with any garage
door opener that lacks safety stop and
reverse features as required by U.S.
federal safety standards (this includes
any garage door opener model manu-
factured before April 1, 1982). A garage
door that cannot detect an object - sig-
naling the door to stop and reverse -
does not meet current U.S. federal
safety standards. For more information,
contact HomeLink at:
www.homelink.com.
Retain the original transmitter of the RF device
you are programming for use in other vehicles
as well as for future HomeLink programming. It
is also suggested that upon the sale of the
vehicle, the programmed HomeLink buttons be
erased for security purposes. Refer to “Reset-
ting HomeLink Buttons” on page 91.
Programming HomeLink
NOTE
Some vehicles may require the ignition to be
switched on or be in the “accessories” posi-
tion for programming and/or operation of
HomeLink. It is also recommended that a
new battery be placed in the hand-held
transmitter of the device being programmed
to HomeLink for quicker training and accu-
rate transmission of the radio-frequency
signal. The HomeLink buttons must be reset
first. When this has been completed, Home-
link is in learning mode so that you can per-
form programming.
1. Position the end of your hand-held trans-
mitter 1–3 inches (5–14 cm) away from the
HomeLink button you wish to program
while keeping the indicator light in view.
2. Simultaneously press and hold both the
chosen HomeLink and hand-held transmit-
ter buttons until the HomeLink indicator
light changes from a slow to a rapidly blink-
ing light. Now you may release both the
HomeLink and hand-held transmitter but-
tons.

90* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
NOTE
Some devices may require you to replace
this Programming Step 2 with procedures
noted in the “Gate Operator / Canadian Pro-
gramming” section. If the HomeLink indica-
tor light does not change to a rapidly blink-
ing light after performing these steps, con-
tact HomeLink at www.homelink.com or by
phoning the hotline at 1–800–355–3515.
3.
Firmly press, hold for five seconds and
release the programmed HomeLink but-
ton up to two separate times to activate the
door. If the door does not activate, press
and hold the just-trained HomeLink button
and observe the indicator light.
•If the indicator light stays on con-
stantly, programming is complete
and your device should activate when
the HomeLink button is pressed and
released.
•If the indicator light blinks rapidly for
two seconds and then turns to a con-
stant light continue with “Program-
ming” steps 4-6 to complete the pro-
gramming of a rolling code equipped
device (most commonly a garage door
opener).
4. At the garage door opener receiver (motor-
head unit) in the garage, locate the “learn”or “smart” button. This can usually be
found where the hanging antenna wire is
attached to the motor-head unit.
5. Firmly press and release the “learn” or
“smart” button. (The name and color of the
button may vary by manufacturer.) There
are 30 seconds to initiate step 6.
6. Return to the vehicle and firmly press, hold
for two seconds and release the pro-
grammed HomeLink button. Repeat the
“press/hold/release” sequence a second
time, and, depending on the brand of the
garage door opener (or other rolling code
equipped device), repeat this sequence a
third time to complete the programming
process.
HomeLink should now activate your rolling
code equipped device.
Gate Operator/Canadian ProgrammingCanadian radio-frequency laws require trans-
mitter signals to “time-out” (or quit) after sev-
eral seconds of transmission – which may not
be long enough for HomeLink to pick up the
signal during programming. Similar to this
Canadian law, some U.S. gate operators are
designed to “time-out” in the same manner.
If you live in Canada or you are having difficul-
ties programming a gate operator or garage
door opener by using the “Programming” pro-cedures, replace “Programming HomeLink”
step 2 with the following:
•Continue to press and hold the HomeLink
button while you press and release -
every two seconds (“cycle”) your hand-
held transmitter until the HomeLink indica-
tor light changes from a slow to a rapidly
blinking light. Now you may release both
the HomeLink and hand-held transmitter
buttons.
Proceed with “Programming” step 3 to com-
plete.
Using HomeLink
To operate, simply press and hold the pro-
grammed HomeLink button until the trained
device begins to operate (this may take several
seconds). Activation will now occur for the
trained device (i.e., garage door opener, gate
operator, security system, entry door lock,
home/office lighting, etc.). For convenience,
the hand-held transmitter of the device may
also be used at any time. In the event that there
are still programming difficulties or questions,
contact HomeLink at: www.homelink.com or
by phoning the hotline at 1–800–355–3515.

05 Locks and alarm
Remote keys and key blades

127 Remote keys
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.
