If the locks repeatedly do not react when theunlock button is pressed, begin by moving closerto the vehicle. However, it may be necessary toreplace the battery in the remote. In this case, thedriver's door can be unlocked with the detacha-ble key blade. See also the article "Detachablekey blade" for additional information.

Keyless Passive Entry *
If the vehicle is equipped with this system, it isonly necessary to have a remote key in your pos-session to operate the central locking system.
Models with Passive Entry have an indentation onthe outside of the handle for locking the vehicleand a pressure sensitive surface on the inside ofthe handle for unlocking.
The tailgate has a rubberized button used onlyfor unlocking.
Outer indentation for locking, the pressure sensitive sur-face on the inside of the handle is for unlocking

Rubberized button on the tailgate used only for unlock-ing
Locking
All of the doors have to be closed before thevehicle can be locked but the tailgate can beopen.
Lock the doors and tailgate by pressing the pres-sure sensitive indentation on the outside of anyof the door handles. The lock indicator light onthe dashboard will begin to flash to show that thevehicle is locked and the alarm has been armed.

NOTE
Only one of a door handle's lock/unlock sur-faces should be pressed at a time. If bothareas are pressed simultaneously, the desiredlocking/unlocking action may not occur ormay be delayed.
To close windows or the panoramic roof* whenlocking the vehicle, hold the pressure sensitivesurface on the outside of a door handle until thewindow(s)/panoramic roof have closed com-pletely. The windows/panoramic roof will stop ifthe button is released before they are fullyclosed.

Programming the tailgate's maximum
opening angle
The tailgate's maximum opening angle can beprogrammed, for example, if the tailgate has to beopened in a garage with a low ceiling.
Programming the opening angle:
–Open the tailgate manually to the desiredangle and press and hold the closing buttonon the tailgate's lower edge for at least 3seconds. Release the tailgate.
>Two audible signals will sound to indicatethat the selected opening angle has beenstored.
Erasing tailgate programming
–Open the tailgate manually to its highestposition and press and hold the closing but-ton on the tailgate's lower edge for at least 3seconds. Release the tailgate.
>Two audible signals will sound to indicatethat the programmed opening angle hasbeen erased.
NOTE
If the tailgate has been opened and closedcontinuously too long, the automatic functionwill be deactivated to avoid overloading theelectrical system. The automatic function canbe used again after approximately 2 minutes.
If the vehicle's battery has been discharged ordisconnected, or if the tailgate has been openfor more than 24 hours, the tailgate must beopened and closed once manually to resetthe system.

Pinch protection

Alarm
The alarm system provides a warning if anattempt is made to break into the vehicle.
The following conditions will trigger the alarm:
•a door/hood/tailgate are opened
•the battery is disconnected
•the alarm siren is disconnected
If a problem is detected in the alarmsystem, this symbol and Alarmsystem failure Service required willbe displayed in the instrument panel.Do not attempt to repair any of the componentsin the alarm system yourself; this could affect theinsurance policy on the vehicle. Contact a trainedand qualified Volvo service technician.

NOTE
One of the alarm sensors, which is sensitiveto metallic objects, is located under the tunnelconsole cup holders. Avoid leaving coins,keys, etc., in the cup holders because theymay inadvertently trigger the alarm.

Battery drain
Your vehicle's electrical functions drain the bat-tery to varying extents.
Avoid using ignition mode II as much as posssi-ble, or electrical functions that require a greatdeal of electrical current when the engine is notrunning.
Using ignition mode I whenever possible con-sumes less electrical current.
Functions that require a great deal of electricalcurrent include:
•the climate system blower
•headlights
•wipers
•infotainment system (especially at high vol-ume).
If the battery's charge level is low, a text messagewill appear in the instrument panel. The vehicle'senergy-saving function will then turn off orreduce certain functions that are currently con-suming electrical current.
If the battery needs to be recharged, start theengine and let it idle for at least 15 minutes ordrive the vehicle (driving charges the batteryfaster than letting the engine idle).

WARNING
•Never use more than one floor mat at atime on the driver's floor. Before driving,remove the original mat from the driver'sseat floor before using any other type offloor mat. Any mat used in this positionshould be securely and properly anchoredin the attaching pins. An extra mat on thedriver's floor can cause the acceleratorand/or brake pedal to catch. Check thatthe movement of these pedals is notimpeded.
•Volvo's floor mats are specially manufac-tured for your car. They must be firmlysecured in the clips on the floor so thatthey cannot slide and become trappedunder the pedals on the driver's side.
During normal starts, the electric motor is priori-tized and the gasoline engine will not start. Thismeans that when the start knob has been turnedtoward START and released, the electric motor isactivated ("started") and the vehicle is ready tobe driven. The warning and information symbolsin the instrument panel will go out and thechosen theme will be displayed to indicate thatthe electric motor has been activated.
However, in certain situations, such as in coldweather or if the hybrid battery is not sufficientlycharged, the gasoline engine will start instead.
NOTE
The vehicle cannot be started if the hybridbattery is discharged.
Back-up reader in the tunnel console
If Vehicle key not found is displayed in theinstrument panel, place the remote key in theback-up reader in the tunnel console (see theillustration) and try again to start the engine.

NOTE
When the remote key is in the back-upreader, be sure there are no other metallicobjects (e.g., other keys, coins, cell phones) inthe cup holder. This could affect the back-upreader's function.
If Vehicle start System check, wait is dis-played in the instrument panel when you try to
start the vehicle, wait until the message is nolonger displayed and try to start again.
CAUTION
If the engine does not start after the third try,wait for approximately 3 minutes before tryingto start it again to give the battery time torecover its starting capacity.

WARNING
•Always remove the remote key from thepassenger compartment when leaving thevehicle and ensure that the ignition inmode 0.
•On vehicles with the optional PassiveEntry, never remove the remote key fromthe vehicle while it is being driven ortowed.
•Always place the gear selector in Parkand apply the parking brake before leav-ing the vehicle. Never leave the vehicleunattended with the engine running.
•Always open garage doors fully beforestarting the engine inside a garage toensure adequate ventilation. The exhaustgases contain carbon monoxide, which isinvisible and odorless but very poisonous.

NOTE
After a cold start, idle speed may be noticea-bly higher than normal for a short period. Thisis done to help bring components in theemission control system to their normal oper-ating temperature as quickly as possible,which enables them to control emissions andhelp reduce the vehicle's impact on the envi-ronment.

CAUTION
•When starting in cold weather, the auto-matic transmission may shift up at slightlyhigher engine speeds than normal untilthe automatic transmission fluid reachesnormal operating temperature.
•Do not race a cold engine immediatelyafter starting. Oil flow may not reachsome lubrication points fast enough toprevent engine damage.
•The engine should be idling when youmove the gear selector. Never accelerateuntil after you feel the transmissionengage. Accelerating immediately afterselecting a gear will cause harsh engage-ment and premature transmission wear.
•Selecting P or N when idling at a stand-still for prolonged periods of time will helpprevent overheating of the automatictransmission fluid.
