WARNING!
The wind deflector must be securely attached to help avoid injury to the occupants of the car or to other motorists.



pg. 46 Keys, doors and locks




Doors and locks

Your car is equipped with a central locking system. The key, used on the driver's door, the remote control or central locking button, will lock/unlock both doors and the trunk.

· Turn the key once to unlock the driver's door only.

· Turn the key again (within 10 seconds) to unlock both doors and the trunk.
One turn with the key towards lock in the drivers door locks both doors and the trunk.
· Use the switch on the front door armrests to lock/unlock the car from the inside.
Check the action of the button on the other door to verify its function (lock/ unlock).

WARNING!
If the doors are locked while driving, this may hinder rapid access to the occupants of the car in the event of an accident. (Also see information on "Child safety locks").



NOTE:
· If a door is not closed completely, the courtesy lights will stay on and a chime will sound until the door is closed.
· As an added anti-theft measure, new keys have been developed which may take slightly longer to copy or replace if the original keys are misplaced. Duplicate keys may be ordered from your Volvo retailer.

Immobilizer (start inhibitor)

Each of the keys supplied with your car contains a coded transmitter and receiver (transponder). The code in the key is transmitted to an antenna in the ignition switch where it is compared to the code stored in the start inhibitor module. The car can only be started if a properly coded key is used.

If you misplace a key, take the other keys to an authorized Volvo retailer. The existing code in the start inhibitor module and all the keys will be erased as an antitheft measure and a new code will be programmed in.

NOTE:

Not more than one of the keys for your car should be kept on the same key ring. This could cause conflicting signals to be transmitted to the ignition switch, making it impossible to start the car.


This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following condition: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

The key number codes are stamped on a separate tag supplied with the keys. This tag should be separated from the key ring and kept in a safe place.

pg. 47 Remote keyless entry system





Remote keyless entry system

Your car is equipped with a remote control transmitter. This transmitter uses a radio frequency which will allow "keyless" entry into the passenger compartment or the trunk. You will be supplied with two coded key ring transmitters, which will enable you to lock/unlock both doors and the trunk from a distance of 10-15 feet (3-5 meters).

On vehicles equipped with an alarm, the alarm will also be activated/deactivated by this system.

The car can also be locked/unlocked with the key.

As an extra security precaution in certain situations (valet parking, etc.), Volvo recommends that the transmitter not be included when the keys are given to anyone. The service key can be used instead. If one of the transmitters is misplaced, contact the nearest authorized Volvo retailer for assistance.

Using the remote control


· Press the LOCK button once to lock both doors and the trunk.
· Press the UNLOCK button once to unlock the driver's door only. Press this button again (within 10 seconds) to unlock both doors and the trunk.
· Press the OPEN trunk button twice within 3 seconds to pop open the trunk.
NOTE:
  • If only the driver's door is unlocked, the lock will automatically reengage (re-lock) and the alarm will reset after 2 minutes unless the door has been opened.
  • The lock/unlock and alarm features can also be utilized by using the keys. See section: Doors and Locks on page 42.
  • If the alarm LED glows continuously for 5 seconds, this indicates a fault in the system
    or that a door is not properly closed.
  • : To avoid leaving your keys in the car, make a habit of always locking the car with the remote control.

    WARNING!
    Volvo does not recommend using the transmitter to lock the doors from inside the car. On cars equipped with an alarm, the alarm would be activated and would sound when one of the doors is opened. The doors must not be locked using the remote transmitter while the vehicle is occupied. In case of an accident, this may hinder rapid access to the occupants of the vehicle. The alarm will also sound on models equipped with this feature.

    pg. 48 Alarm (certain models)




    LED alarm status indicator

    Alarm

    The radio signal emitted from the transmitter, which is used to set/unset the alarm, is a "rolling code" signal. This means that the signal is changed randomly for each transmission and is intended to help prevent unauthorized recording of the code.

    When armed (set), the alarm continuously monitors a number of points on the car. The following conditions will set off the alarm:
    · The hood is opened
    · The trunk is opened
    · A door is opened
    · The ignition switch is tampered with · The car is lifted or towed (if the car is equipped with the optional inclination sensor)
    · The battery is disconnected (if the car is equipped with the optional backup battery siren). The alarm will sound for ten 30 second intervals, with a 5 second pause between intervals. This function cannot be interrupted



    Arming (setting) the alarm

    Press the LOCK button on the remote control, lock the car using the key in the driver's door or press the central lock button on one of the doors with the door open. One long flash of the turn signals will confirm that the alarm is set.

    Disarming the alarm

    Press the UNLOCK button on the remote control or unlock the doors with the key.

    Turning off (stopping) the alarm

    If the alarm is sounding, it can be stopped by pressing the UNLOCK button on the remote control or by unlocking the driver's door with the key.

    If the alarm is stopped with the remote control, this will be confirmed by two short flashes from the turn signals.

    "Panic" function

    In an emergency situation, this feature can be used to attract attention.

    Activate the "panic" function by pressing the red panic button on the remote control for at least 3 seconds or by pressing this button twice within 3 seconds. The turn signals will flash, the interior lights will go on and the alarm will sound.

    The function can be turned off by pressing any of the buttons on the remote control or will stop automatically after 25 seconds.

    NOTE: This button will NOT unlock the car.

    Audible alarm signal

    An audible alarm signal is given either by a separate alarm horn or by the optional backup siren. One alarm cycle lasts for 30 seconds.

    Visual alarm signal

    The visual alarm signal is given by flashing all turn signals and turning on the interior lighting for approximately 5 minutes.

    pg. 49 Alarm



    Automatic reset function

    If only the driver's door is unlocked with the remote control, the lock will automatically reengage (re-lock) and the alarm will reset after 2 minutes unless the door has been opened.

    Temporarily disconnecting the alarm sensor(s)

    In certain situations it may be desirable to disconnect the optional alarm sensors, particularly the inclination sensor, if, for example, you drive your car onto a ferry where the rocking of the boat could trigger the alarm.

    To temporarily disconnect the sensor(s) from the alarm system:
    · With both doors closed, switch off the ignition and remove the key from the ignition switch
    · Press the locking (left) side of the central locking button on the driver's door for at least 3 seconds
    · The doors will first lock and then unlock after 3 seconds to confirm that the sensors have been disconnected

    The car can then be locked in the usual way to set the alarm.

    NOTE: The sensors will automatically be reconnected to the alarm system the next time the ignition is switched on.

    LED alarm status signals

    The status of the alarm system is indicated by the red LED at the top center of the dash:
    · LED off - the alarm is not armed (set)
    · LED flashes once per second - the alarm is armed (set)
    · LED flashes rapidly before the ignition is switched on - the alarm has been triggered
    · LED flashes rapidly for 15 seconds after the ignition has been switched on - a fault has been detected in the alarm system. Contact a Volvo retailer.



    Batteries

    Each remote transmitter is powered by a three-volt battery, type CR 2016. If the range of the transmitter is noticeably reduced, this indicates that the battery is weak and should be replaced.

    Replacement: Remove the battery cover on the back of the transmitter with a coin. Replace the battery. Reinstall the cover, making sure it is secured tightly to help protect the transmitter.


    CAUTION: Do not attempt to service or repair any components of the alarm system yourself. This should only be done by an authorized Volvo retailer.
