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: To help prevent accidentally locking the keys in the car, the central locking system is designed to unlock the doors immediately if the key is left in the ignition switch, the car is locked using the lock button on the door and the door is then closed. A sound from the lock will be audible at this time.
Please note that this function will not unlock the doors if the engine is running.

Immobilizer (start inhibitor)
Each of the keys supplied with your car contains a coded transmitter. 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 will start only with a properly coded key.

Each key has a unique code, which your Volvo retailer uses if new keys are required. A maximum of six remote controls/keys can be programmed and used for one car.

If you misplace a key, take the other keys to an authorized Volvo retailer for reprogramming as an antitheft measure.

NOTE: 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.

Remote controls
Your car is equipped with two coded remote control transmitters with integrated ignition keys called Key Integrated Remote (KIR). These transmitters use a radio frequency that will enable you to lock/unlock all doors and the trunk from a distance of 10-15 feet (3-5 meters). The transmitters will also activate or allow "keyless" entry into the passenger compartment or the trunk. They will also activate or deactivate your car's alarm system(s). The car can also be locked/unlocked with the key.

If one of the transmitters is misplaced, contact your nearest authorized Volvo retailer for replacement.

Using the remote control
Button 1: Press to extend the key. This button must also be pressed when the key is folded back into the slot in the side of the remote control unit.
Button 2(Lock): Press once to lock all doors, and the trunk.
Button 3(Approach light): Press this button when approaching the car at night to light up the interior courtesy light, parking lights, license plate lights and the lights in the sideview mirrors.
Button 4(Panic): See page 78 for more information on this function.

WARNING! Never use the transmitter to lock the doors from inside the car Doing so would ACTIVATE: the break-in alarm, which would sound if one of the doors were opened the optional interior motion and inclination alarm sensors. Doing so would DEACTIVATE: the moonroof and interior courtesy light controls. the central locking buttons on the front door armrests, although the interior door handles would still function to allow occupants to leave the car. Disabled features would remain disabled until the remote were used again to unlock the car. In addition, locking an occupied vehicle would hinder rapid access to the occupants in an accident or emergency.

Replacing the battery in the remote control
If the range of the transmitter is noticeably reduced, this indicates that the battery is weak and should be replaced.

To replace the battery
1. Carefully pry open the rear edge of the cover with a small screwdriver.
2. Insert a new 3-volt, CR2032 battery, with the battery's plus side up. Avoid touching the contact surfaces of the battery with your fingers.
3. Press the cover back into place. Ensure that the rubber seal is correctly positioned to help keep out moisture.

Note: The old battery should be disposed of properly at a recycling center or at your Volvo retailer.
