Double lock*  
Double lock means that all opening handles  
are released mechanically when locking from  
the outside, which makes it impossible to  
open the doors from the inside.  
Double lock is activated when locking with a  
remote control key or with keyless locking*,  
and takes place with a delay of approx.  
10 seconds after the doors have locked. If a  
door is opened within the delay time then the  
sequence is interrupted and the alarm is deac-  
tivated.  
The car can only be unlocked with a remote  
control key, keyless unlocking* or the Volvo  
On Call app * when double lock is activated.  
The front left door can also be unlocked with  
the detachable key blade. If the car is  
unlocked with the detachable key blade, the  
alarm will be triggered.  
WARNING  
Do not lock the car from the outside while  
there is anyone left in the car.
