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/closing
The vehicle can be locked/unlocked from thepassenger 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*, it canalso be opened/closed by moving your footunder a sensor* beneath the rear bumper.
If for any reason a remote key does not functionproperly, 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 key
The 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 Volvoretailer.
