Remote keys
G026963
Your vehicle is equipped with two coded remote key transmitters with integrated igni-tion keys called Key Integrated Remote (KIR). The remote key transmitters will also activate or allow "keyless" entry into the passengercompartment or the tailgate. These transmit-ters use a radio frequency that will enable youto lock/unlock all doors and the tailgate froma distance of 10 – 15 feet (3 – 5 meters). Theywill also activate or deactivate your vehicle'salarm system(s). The vehicle can also belocked/unlocked with the key. If either of the remote keys is lost, the other should be taken with the car to a Volvoretailer. As an anti-theft measure, the code ofthe lost remote key must be erased from thesystem.
NOTE
Additional or duplicate remote control keys can be obtained from any AuthorizedVolvo Retailer. You can also obtain additional or duplicate remote control keys from certain inde-pendent repair facilities and locksmithsthat are qualified to make remote controlkeys. Each key must be programmed towork with your vehicle. California Only: A list of independent repair facilities and/or locksmiths known to Volvo that can cutand code replacement keys can be found:

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 incli-nation alarm sensors.
• Doing so would DEACTIVATE:
• the moonroof and interior courtesylight controls.
• the central locking buttons on the frontdoor armrests, although the interiordoor handles would still function toallow occupants to leave the vehicle.
• Disabled features would remain disa-bled until the remote is used again tounlock the vehicle.
• In addition, locking an occupied vehi-cle would hinder rapid access to theoccupants in an accident or emer-gency.
Replacing the battery in the remote keyIf the range of the transmitter is noticeably reduced, this indicates that the battery isweak 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 withyour fingers.
3. Press the cover back into place. Ensure that the rubber seal is correctly posi-tioned to help keep out moisture.
NOTE
The old battery should be disposed of properly at a recycling center or at yourVolvo retailer.

Alarm

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.133
The alarm is automatically armed whenever you lock your vehicle. When armed, the alarm continuously moni- tors a number of points on the vehicle. Thefollowing conditions will set off the alarm: •
The hood is forced open.
• The tailgate is forced open.
• A door is forced open.
• The ignition switch is tampered with.
• If there is movement in the passenger compartment (if the vehicle is equippedwith the optional movement sensor).
• The vehicle is lifted or towed (if the vehi-cle is equipped with the optional inclina-tion sensor).
• The battery is disconnected (while thealarm is armed).
• The siren is disconnected when the alarmis disarmed.
Arming the alarm1. Press the
LOCK button on the remote
key.
2. Lock the vehicle using the key blade in the driver's door or press the central lock button on the driver's door with the dooropen.
One long flash of the turn signals will confirmthat the alarm is armed.
Movement sensor*In addition to triggering the alarm if there ismovement in the passenger compartment,currents of air may also affect the movementsensor. This means that locking the vehiclewith the windows or the moonroof open, orusing an accessory portable passenger com-partment heater, could trigger the alarm. To help avoid this, close the windows and moonroof before locking the vehicle. If a pas-senger compartment heater is used when thevehicle is locked, direct airflow from the heat-er's vent(s) so that it isn't directed upward inthe passenger compartment.
Disarming the alarmPress the UNLOCK button on the remote key
or unlock the doors with the key blade.
Turning off (stopping) the alarmIf the alarm is sounding, it can be stopped bypressing the UNLOCK button on the remote
key or by unlocking the driver's door with thekey blade.

Engine oil
Although some oil consumption occurs dur- ing normal engine operation, more oil is con-sumed when the engine is new as the internalparts generate higher friction while wearing-into each other. From the time the engine isnew until the first maintenance is performed,the oil consumption could be higher than nor-mal. For this reason, it is especially importantto check the oil regularly during this period,see page 222.
Fuel requirements
Deposit control gasoline (detergent additives)
Volvo recommends the use of detergent gas- oline to control engine deposits. Detergentgasoline is effective in keeping injectors andintake valves clean. Consistent use of depositcontrol gasolines will help ensure good driva-bility and fuel economy. If you are not surewhether the gasoline contains deposit controladditives, check with the service station oper-ator.
NOTE
Volvo does not recommend the use of external fuel injector cleaning systems.
Unleaded fuelEach Volvo has a three-way catalytic con- verter and must use only unleaded gasoline.U.S. and Canadian regulations require thatpumps delivering unleaded gasoline be label-led "UNLEADED". Only these pumps havenozzles which fit your vehicle's filler inlet. It isunlawful to dispense leaded fuel into a vehiclelabelled "unleaded gasoline only". Leadedgasoline damages the three-way catalyticconverter and the heated oxygen sensor sys-tem. Repeated use of leaded gasoline willlessen the effectiveness of the emission con-trol system and could result in loss of emis-sion warranty coverage. State and local vehi-cle inspection programs will make detectionof misfueling easier, possibly resulting inemission test failure for misfueled vehicles.
NOTE
Some U.S. and Canadian gasolines con- tain an octane enhancing additive calledmethyl-cyclopentadienyl manganese tri-carbonyl (MMT). If such fuels are used,your Emission Control System perform-ance may be affected, and the CheckEngine Light (malfunction indicator lamp)located on your instrument panel maylight. If this occurs, please return yourvehicle to a trained and qualified Volvoservice technician for maintenance.
Gasoline containing alcohol and ethers"Oxygenated fuels" Some fuel suppliers sell gasoline containing "oxygenates" which are usually alcohols orethers. In some areas, state or local lawsrequire that the service pump be marked indi-cating use of alcohols or ethers. However,there are areas in which the pumps areunmarked. If you are not sure whether there isalcohol or ethers in the gasoline you buy,check with the service station operator. Tomeet seasonal air quality standards, someareas require the use of "oxygenated" fuel. Volvo allows the use of the following "oxy- genated" fuels; however, the octane ratingslisted on page 139 must still be met. Alcohol – Ethanol: Fuels containing up to 10% ethanol by volume may be used. Ethanolmay also be referred to as Ethyl alcohol, or"Gasohol". Ethers – MTBE: Fuels containing up to 15% MTBE may be used.
