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.

If you lose one of your keys, you must take all

other keys to an authorised Volvo workshop.

As a crime prevention measure, the code of

the lost key is erased from the system. At the

same time, the other keys must be re-coded

in the system.

The mechanical key codes 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.
