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.
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 trunk *, it can
also 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. Additional keys can be ordered from a Volvo retailer.

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) helps reduce wheel spin, counteract skidding and to generallyhelp improve directional stability.
A pulsating sound will be audi- ble when the system is activelyoperating and is normal. Accel-eration may also be slightlyslower than normal.
WARNING
ESC is a supplementary aid and cannot deal with all situations or road conditions. The driver is always responsible for operating the vehicle in a safe manner in accordancewith current traffic regulations.
ESC consists of the following functions: • Traction control
• Spin control
• Active Yaw Control
• Engine Drag Control
• Trailer Stability Assist
Traction controlThis function is designed to help reduce wheel spin by transferring power from a drive wheel that begins to lose traction to the wheel on the oppo-site side of the vehicle (on the same axle).
Spin controlThis function is designed to help prevent thedrive wheels from spinning while the vehicle isaccelerating.
Active Yaw ControlAt low speeds, this function helps maintain direc-tional stability by braking one or more of thewheels if the vehicle shows a tendency to skid orslide laterally.
Engine Drag Control EDCEDC helps keep the engine running if the wheelsshow a tendency to lock, e.g., when shifting downin the manual shifting mode or while using theengine's braking function on a slippery surface. Ifthe wheels were to lock, the vehicle wouldbecome more difficult to steer.
Trailer Stability Assist
*1TSA helps stabilize a vehicle that is towing atrailer when the vehicle and trailer have begun tosway. This system is automatically deactivated if the driver selects
Sport mode.

This function is included if the vehicle is equipped with a Volvo original trailer hitch.
