To help prevent accidentally locking the keys in the vehicle, the central locking sys-tem is designed to unlock the doors imme-diately if the key is left in the ignitionswitch, the vehicle is locked using the lockbutton on the door and the door is thenclosed. A sound from the lock will be audi-ble at this time. Please note that this function will not unlock the doors if the engine is running.
Immobilizer (start inhibitor)Each of the keys supplied with your vehicle contains a coded transmitter. The code in thekey is transmitted to an antenna in the igni-tion switch where it is compared to the code stored in the start inhibitor module. The vehi-cle will start only with a properly coded key. Each key has a unique code, which your Volvo retailer uses if new keys are required. Amaximum of six remote keys can be pro-grammed and used for one vehicle. If you misplace a key, take the other keys to an authorized Volvo retailer for reprogram-ming as an antitheft measure. If two of the keys to your vehicle are close together, e.g., on the same key ring, whenyou try to start the vehicle, this could causeinterference in the immobilizer system andresult in the vehicle not starting. If this shouldoccur, remove one of the keys from the keyring before trying to start the vehicle again.
