Remote key – loss  
Two remote keys are provided with your vehi-  
cle. They enable you to unlock the doors and  
tailgate, and also function as ignition keys to  
start the vehicle or operate electrical compo-  
nents. The remote keys contain detachable  
metal key blades for manually locking or  
unlocking the driver's door and the glove  
compartment. The visible ends of these key  
blades are unique to make it easier to identify  
"your" remote key. Up to six remotes can be  
programmed for use on the same vehicle.  
If either of the remote keys (p. 150) is lost, the  
other should be taken with the vehicle to a  
Volvo retailer. As an anti-theft measure, the  
code of the lost remote key must be erased  
from the system.

Key memory  
The memory in the remote key makes it possi-  
ble to store certain personal settings.  
Locking/unlocking confirmation  
NOTE  
Settings can be made in the menu system for  
audible and visual confirmation when the  
vehicle has been locked or unlocked. With  
these functions activated, the following will  
occur when the vehicle is locked/unlocked:  
If the vehicle is locked with the remote key  
or is left unlocked for more than 30  
minutes, the key memory function will be  
deactivated.  
The position of the side door mirrors, power  
driver's seat* and the selected instrument  
panel theme1 are stored in the remote keys  
when the vehicle is locked. The next time the  
driver's door is unlocked with the same  
remote key and the door is opened within  
2 minutes, the power driver's seat and side  
door mirrors will automatically move to the  
position that they were in when the doors  
were most recently locked with the same  
remote key. If the seat/mirrors have not been  
readjusted since the vehicle was locked, they  
will already be in the position stored in that  
particular remote key and will not move. For  
more information on this feature, see Front  
seats – power seat (p. 81).  
To reactivate the key's memory:

Each of the keys supplied with your vehicle  
contains a coded transponder. The code in  
the key is transmitted to an antenna in the  
ignition slot where it is compared to the code  
stored in the start inhibitor module. The vehi-  
cle will start only with a properly coded key. If  
you misplace a key, take the other keys to a  
trained and qualified Volvo service technician  
for reprogramming as an anti-theft measure.
