Red Key - restricted remote key*
A Red Key makes it possible for the vehicle
owner to set limitations for certain vehicle prop-
erties. The limitations are intended to promote
safe use of the vehicle, e.g. when it is loaned
out. For a Red Key, it is possible to define the vehi-
cle's maximum speed, set speed reminders and
limit the audio system's volume. Several of the
driver support systems will also always be active.
Otherwise, the Red Key functions in the same
way as a standard remote key.
One or more Red Key can be ordered from a
Volvo retailer. A total of twelve keys can be pro-
grammed and used for the same vehicle. Up to
ten may be restricted keys, but at least two must
be standard remote keys.
These restrictions are intended to help reduce
the risk of accidents and help the driver feel more secure when handing over the vehicle to e.g. a
young driver, parking attendant or workshop. The
settings for a Red Key cannot be changed by its
user; a regular remote key is needed to change
settings.

STARTING AND DRIVING
* Option/accessory.
434 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 overheating protection is triggered.
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.
