Remote keys

Immobilizer (start inhibitor)

NOTE

Two remote keys that also function as ignition

keys are provided with your car. The remote

keys contain detachable metal key blades for

manually locking or unlocking the driver's door

and the glove compartment.

Each of the keys supplied with your car con-

tains a coded transponder. The code in the key

is transmitted to an antenna in the ignition

switch where it is compared to the code stored

in the start inhibitor module. The car will start

only with a properly coded key. If you misplace

a key, take the other keys to an authorized

Volvo retailer for reprogramming as an antitheft

measure.

Additional or duplicate remote control keys

can be obtained from any Authorized Volvo

Retailer.

You can also obtain additional or duplicate

remote control keys from certain independ-

ent repair facilities and locksmiths that are

qualified to make remote control keys. Each

key must be programmed to work with your

vehicle.
