Locks and remote keys
The vehicle can be locked and unlocked in vari- ous ways and there are several types of remotekeys that can be used. These keys can also belinked to a driver profile, which contains vehicle-related settings that have been stored.
Locking/unlocking/opening/closingThe vehicle can be locked/unlocked from the passenger compartment, using the buttons onthe remote key or by using the optional PassiveEntry system where it is only necessary to have akey in your possession to lock or unlock thedoors. On models equipped with a power tailgate *, the
tailgate can be opened/closed by moving your foot under a sensor * beneath the rear bumper.
If for any reason a remote key does not function properly, it may be necessary to replace its bat-teries but the vehicle can always be locked orunlocked manually using the remote key'sdetachable key blade.
Remote keyThe remote key does not have to be physicallyhandled in order to start the engine because thevehicle is equipped with the standard PassiveStart system (the key only needs to be in thefront part of the passenger compartment). If thevehicle is equipped with the optional PassiveEntry system that enables keyless entry and start, the key can be anywhere in the vehicle when theengine is started. Models with Passive Entry
* also have an extra,
smaller key without buttons called a Key Tag. A special restricted Red Key makes it possible to limit some of the vehicle's functionality, such asby setting a maximum speed or limiting the maxi-mum volume from the infotainment system'sspeakers. The various keys can also be linked to driver pro- files, which make it possible to store differentpersonal preferences (settings) in the vehicle. Additional keys can be ordered from a Volvo retailer.
