You can deactivate the child lock by following the same steps you took to activate it.

If the child lock is active when you switch the car off, it will remain active the next time the car is started.

6.3.6. Settings for locking and unlocking

You can customise how your car reacts when locking or unlocking.

Note

Different settings affect how and when your car is locked. Make sure to familiarise yourself with the different options and

how they affect the locking and unlocking behaviours.

You can customise many of your car's general locking behaviours. For example, you can turn feedback responses on or off. You

can also choose whether only one or all of the doors should unlock when you use the touch points on the door handles.

Tip

Closing the sun blind automatically

You can turn on Auto-close sunroof curtain in settings to make the sun blind close automatically after 15 minutes if the

car is parked and locked in warm weather. This helps ensure a comfortable passenger compartment temperature and pro-

tects the car's upholstery from fading in the sun.

Warning

Volvo recommends not leaving people or pets in a locked car.

When the car is locked, some functions and systems are either shut down or activated to help protect the car from theft.

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 from the outside. It's also disarmed automatically when you unlock the

car using the standard key's buttons or the key tag.
