2018 VOLVO XC90 TWIN ENGINE remote start

STARTING AND DRIVING
* Option/accessory.
424 Starting the vehicle
The vehicle can be started using the start knob
in the tunnel console when the remote key is in
the passenger compartment. Start knob in the tunnel console.
WARNING
Before starting:
• Buckle your seat belt.
• Adjust the seat, steering wheel and mir-
rors.
• Make sure you can fully depress the
brake pedal. The remote key is not physically used to start the
ignition because the vehicle is equipped with the
keyless Passive Start system.
To start the vehicle:
1.

The remote key must be inside the vehicle.
For vehicles with Passive Start, the key must
be in the front section of the passenger
compartment. With the optional keyless lock-
ing/unlocking function*, the key can be any-
where in the vehicle.
2. Press and hold down the brake pedal 1
as far
as possible.
3. Turn the start knob clockwise and release. The control will automatically return to the
original position.
WARNING •
Never use more than one inlay mat at a
time on the driver's floor. If any other type
of floor mat is used, remove the original
mat from the driver's seat floor before
driving. All types of mats must be securely
anchored in the attachment points in the
floor. Make sure the floor mat does not
impede the movement of the brake pedal
or accelerator pedal in any way, as this
could be a serious safety hazard.
• Volvo's floor mats are specially manufac-
tured for your vehicle. They must be prop-
erly secured in the attachment points in
the floor to help ensure they cannot slide
and become trapped under the pedals.
The starter motor will crank until the engine
starts or until its overheating protection is trig-
gered.
During normal start conditions, the vehicle's elec-
tric motor will be prioritized and the gasoline
engine will remain off. This means that once the
start knob is turned clockwise, the electric motor
has been "started" and the vehicle is ready to be
driven. The warning and information symbols in
the instrument panel will go out and the selected
theme will be displayed to indicate that the elec-
tric motor is activated. 1
If the vehicle is moving, it is only necessary to turn the start knob cl\
ockwise to start the engine.

the hybrid battery's charge level is too low, the
gasoline engine will start instead.
The vehicle should not be started with the charg-
ing cable connected. However, if the cable can-
not be pulled out or if the vehicle incorrectly
detects a cable that is not connected, the vehicle

start attempt.
NOTE When the remote key is placed in the backup
reader, make sure that no other vehicle keys,
metal objects or electronic devices (e.g. cellu-
lar phones, tablets, laptops or chargers) are in
the backup reader. Multiple vehicle keys close
to each other in the backup reader can dis-
rupt their functionality.
If Vehicle start System check, wait is dis-
played in the instrument panel while attempting
to start the vehicle, wait until the message disap-
pears and try again to start the vehicle.
CAUTION If the engine has not responded after 3

battery is discharged.

passenger compartment when you leave
the vehicle and make sure the ignition is

Programming HomeLink
®
*12
Follow these instructions to program
HomeLink ®
, reset all programming, or program
individual buttons.
NOTE In some vehicles, the ignition must be on or in
the "accessory position" before HomeLink
®
can be programmed or used. It can be a good
idea to put new batteries in the remote con-
trol being replaced by HomeLink ®
for faster
programming and better radio signal trans-
mission. The HomeLink ®
buttons should be
reset before programming.
WARNING While HomeLink
®
is being programmed, the
garage door or gate being programmed may
be activated. Make sure that no one is near
the door or gate during programming. When
programming a garage door opener, it is
advised to park outside of the garage. 1.
Point the remote control at the HomeLink ®
button to be programmed and hold it about
2-8 cm (1-3 inches) from the button. Do not
obstruct the HomeLink ®
indicator light.
Note: Some remote controls are more effec-
tive at programming HomeLink ®
from a dis-
tance of about 15-20 cm (6-12 inches). Try
moving the remote control closer or further
away if you are experiencing any difficulties
programming.
2.
Press and hold both the remote control but-
ton and the HomeLink ®
button to be pro-
grammed.
3. Do not release the buttons until the indicator light has stopped flashing slowly (about once
a second) and either flashes quickly (about
10 times a second) or glows steadily.
>Steady glow: Indication that program-
ming is complete. Press the programmed
button twice to activate.
Flashing quickly: The device being pro-
grammed with HomeLink ®
may have a
security function that requires an extra
step. Try pressing the programmed button
twice to see whether the programming
works. Otherwise, continue with the fol-
lowing steps. 4. Locate the "training" button
13
on the
receiver for the e.g. garage door opener. It is
usually located near the antenna bracket on
the receiver.
5.

Press and release the "training" button once.
Programming must be completed within 30
seconds after pressing the button.
6. Press and release the HomeLink ®
button to
be programmed. Repeat the press/hold/
release sequence a second time. For some
receivers, the sequence may need to be
repeated a third time.
> Programming is now completed and the garage door, gate, etc. should now be
activated when the programmed button is
pressed.
If you experience any difficulties programming,
please contact HomeLink ®

Once HomeLink ®
is programmed, it can be
used instead of the separate remote controls.

garage door, gate, alarm system, etc. will be acti-
vated (this may take several seconds). If the but-
ton is held down for more than 20 seconds,
reprogramming will begin. The indicator light will
glow steadily or flash when the button has been
pressed. The original remote controls may be
used concurrently with HomeLink ®
if desired.
NOTE If the ignition is off, HomeLink
®
works for
30 minutes after the driver's door has been
opened.
WARNING •
If you use HomeLink ®
to open a garage
door or gate, be sure no one is near the
gate or door while it is in motion.
• Do not use HomeLink ®
with any garage
door opener that lacks safety stop and
reverse features as required by US fed-
eral safety standards (this includes any
garage door opener model manufactured
before April 1, 1982). A garage door that
cannot detect an object - signaling the
door to stop and reverse - does not meet
current U.S. federal safety standards. For
more information, contact HomeLink at:
