Doors and locks

Keys - Immobilizer

Your car is delivered with two master keys and

one service key. One of the master keys is

foldable and equipped with an integrated remote

control.

Loss of key

If you should lose one of your keys, bring the

remaining keys to an authorised Volvo work-

shop. As a crime prevention measure, the code

for the lost key is erased from the system and

the other keys must be re-coded in the system.

The mechanical code numbers for the keys are

recorded on a separate label accompanying the

keys. Store the label in a safe place. Take the

label to your Volvo dealer if you wish to order

new keys. A maximum of six remote controls/

keys can be programmed and used.

Immobilizer

Each key has an integrated coded chip. The code

must be the same as the code in the ignition

switch receiver. The car can only be started if

the correct key with the correct code is used.

The ignition key must not hang with other keys

or metal objects on the same key ring. The

immobilizer could be inadvertently triggered,

preventing the car from being started.

Locking and unlocking

Replacing the remote control

battery

If the locks repeatedly fail to react to signals

from the remote control at a normal distance,

the battery should be replaced at the next

service interval or within the course of a couple

of weeks.

· Remove the cover by carefully prising up

the rear edge with a small screwdriver.

· Replace the battery (type CR 2032, 3 volt) -

the plus side should face up. Avoid touching

the battery or its contact surfaces with your

fingers.

· Refit the cover. Make sure the rubber seal is

properly fitted and free from damage to

prevent water form entering.

· Turn the old battery in to your Volvo

workshop so that it is disposed of in an

environmentally friendly way.

Locking the glovebox

The glovebox can be locked with the master key.

Automatic relocking

If none of the doors or the tailgate are opened

within two minutes of the car being unlocked

with the remote control from outside, all

locks will be automatically relocked. This

function prevents you from inadvertently

leaving the car unlocked.

For cars with an alarm, see page 91.

Automatic locking (option)

door is opened from the inside or are unlocking

the remote control (see illustration) two times

slowly within 3 seconds. If all doors are

closed. The other doors remain locked and

continue to have their alarm function.

To lock the tailgate and set its alarm function

once it is closed, press the LOCK button again.

NOTE! Automatic relocking:

If you use this button to unlock the tailgate

without opening it, it will automatically relock

after approx. 2 minutes.

The automatic relocking function will, on the

other hand, not operate if you open and then

shut the tailgate.

Manual opening of tailgate

Press the opening button on the tailgate.

When it is dark, deadlocks

Deadlocks*

Your car has a special deadlock position which

means that the doors cannot be opened from the

inside if they are locked. Deadlocks can only be

activated from the outside by the driver’s door

being locked with the key or remote control. All

doors must be closed before deadlocks can be

activated. The doors then cannot be opened

from the inside. The car can only be unlocked

from the outside via the driver’s door or by

using the remote control.

The car cannot be opened by manipulating the

door buttons from the outside.

Deadlocks are engaged after a 25 second delay

once the doors have been closed.

Temporary deactivation of

deadlock function

If someone wishes to remain in the car but you

still wish to lock the doors from the outside the

deadlocks can be disconnected. From the time

the key is turned from position II until you lock

the car, or as long as the centre console is

supplied with current, you can press the button.

The LED in the button then comes on and stays

on until you lock the car using the key or

remote control. A message is displayed as long

as the key remains in the ignition switch. The

deadlock is now disconnected. The deadlocks

will be activated again next time you switch on

the ignition.

WARNING!

Do not allow anyone to remain in the car

without deactivating the deadlock.

you deactivate the alarm as described above.

Automatic alarm reset

If neither the side doors or rear door are opened within two minutes of the

alarm being disarmed, and the car is unlocked with the remote control, the

is switched on: the alarm has been triggered.

· If a fault has occurred in the alarm system, a message is shown in the

display with instructions for appropriate measures.

IMPORTANT!

Do not attempt to repair or modify alarm system components. All such

attempts can affect terms of insurance.

dog in the car or during a ferry crossing, the movement and tilt detectors

can be temporarily deactivated. The button can be pressed at any time

between the key being turned from position II to the car being locked, or
