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)
The doors lock automatically when vehicle
speed exceeds 7 km/h and remain locked until a
door is opened from the inside or are unlocking
using a central locking button.
Locking/unlocking the
tailgate with the remote
control
To unlock the tailgate only: Press the button on
the remote control (see illustration) two times
slowly within 3 seconds. If all doors are
locked when the tailgate is closed, it remains
unlocked and has no alarm function after it is
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.

The alarm system (option)
When the alarm is connected, it continually monitors all alarm points.
The alarm is triggered if...
· ...the bonnet is opened.
· ...the tailgate is opened.
· ...a side door is opened.
· ...the ignition switch is turned with a non-approved key or subjected
to force.
· ...a movement is detected in the passenger compartment (if a
movement detector is installed - extra equipment).

extra equipment).
· ...the battery cable is disconnected.
· ...anyone tries to disconnect the siren.
Activating the alarm
Press the LOCK button on the remote control. A long flash signal from
the car’s direction indicator confirms that the alarm is active and that all
doors are closed. In certain markets the key or the switch in the driver’s
door can be used to alarm the car.
Automatic arming of the alarm
In certain countries (Belgium, Israel etc.) the alarm is automatically
armed after a slight delay if the driver's door is opened and closed but
the car is not locked.
Deactivating the alarm
Press the UNLOCK button on the remote control. Two short flash
signals from the direction indicators of the car confirm that the alarm is
deactivated. In certain markets, the key can be used to deactivate the
alarm.

Deactivating a triggered alarm
Press the UNLOCK button on the remote control if the alarm sounds and
you wish to deactivate it. Two short flashes of the direction indicators are
given as confirmation.
Alarm signals
The audio signal is given from a siren with a reserve battery. Each alarm
signal lasts 25 seconds.
If the alarm is triggered, all direction indicators flash for 5 minutes or until
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
car automatically rearms the alarm. The car is simultaneously locked. This
function prevents you from accidentally leaving the car unalarmed.

An indicator lamp (LED) at the top of the dashboard gives a description of
the alarm system status:
· Lamp not lit: alarm is deactivated.
· The lamp flashes once every other second: the alarm is armed.
· Lamp flashes quickly, after deactivating the alarm and until the ignition
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.

Temporary deactivation of detectors
To avoid triggering the alarm inadvertently, for example when leaving a
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
as long as the power to the centre console is on. The LED in the button
lights until you lock the car with your key or remote control. A message is
displayed as long as the key remains in the ignition lock. The detectors
will be reactivated the next time you switch on the ignition.
If your car is equipped with deadlocks, these will be simultaneously
activated. See page 89.
