In the event of a collision, the car will automatically unlock. If the damage to the car is minor, the car can be locked again. With  
significant damage to the car, you will not be able to lock the car again. In that case, the locking function can only be restored  
by Volvo technicians[2]  
.
Child lock  
The child lock can increase passenger safety in the rear seats. When the child lock is active, the passengers in the rear seats are  
unable to open the rear doors. You can read about how to activate the child lock in a separate section of the manual.

safety of anyone left inside.

how they affect the locking and unlocking behaviours.

choose whether all of the doors should unlock automatically when you park.

6.3.2.1. Adjusting locking and unlocking settings  
You can adjust several of your car's locking and unlocking responses and behaviours in settings.  
Important  
Changing locking and unlocking settings  
Enabling or disabling certain features affects how and when your car locks and unlocks. Make sure you familiarise your-  
self with the different key types as well as the locking and unlocking features. Misunderstanding a feature might lead you  
to believe that your car is locked when it isn't.  
It is the driver's responsibility to ensure the car is locked, even when automatic functions are enabled.

Note  
If the car's batteries go completely flat, it will not respond to any key.  
If the car has been turned off for a long time, it may take several seconds for it to unlock. This is because the car needs  
time to turn its systems back on, to recognise the key and to give you access.  
Locking not working  
If the car won't lock, check that all of the doors are properly closed.  
Rear doors not unlocking  
If the rear doors don't open when you pull the inner door handles, make sure the child lock isn't active and that you pull the  
handle twice. The first pull unlocks the door and the second pull opens it.  
6.4. Anti-theft  
Your car has a number of systems and features which help to make your car secure when it's locked.  
When you lock the car, some of its functions and systems are either shut down or activated to help protect the car from theft.  
For example, the alarm is automatically armed.  
Warning  
Do not leave your keys unattended in your car. They can be used to disable the security systems.  
Alarm  
The alarm is automatically armed when you lock the car and disarmed when you unlock it.  
You can adjust the alarm sensitivity in settings.  
Immobiliser  
The immobiliser is an anti-theft system that prevents your car from being driven until it is started using a valid key. If your car  
can't find the key or fails to authenticate it, your car will remain immobilised. A notification appears in the display if the key can't  
be found or has a low battery. If your car is unresponsive to a battery-powered key, try using a key card. If the car appears to  
have no power, the cause could be flat batteries or something affecting its electrical systems.  
Steering wheel lock  
Your car's steering wheel lock is automatically engaged when you lock the car. This is to prevent unauthorised driving of your  
car, such as if it's stolen. When you unlock your car, the steering wheel is also unlocked.  
Double lock
