Keys
Two keys are provided with your car; a master
key and a service key. The master key, the
remote control, and the central locking button
may all be used to lock and unlock all of your
car's locks.
The service key will operate only the driver's
door and the ignition switch. It is intended to
help deter unwanted entry into the glove
compartment and trunk.
Turn the key once to unlock the driver's door
and the fuel filler door.
Turn the key again (within 10 seconds) to
unlock all doors and the tailgate.
One turn with the key towards lock in the
drivers door locks all doors and tailgate.
Use the switch on the front door armrests to
lock/unlock the car from the inside.
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.
If you misplace a key, take the other keys to an
authorized Volvo retailer for reprogramming as
an antitheft measure.
*This key operates only driver's door and
ignition switch/steering wheel lock.
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.
Exterior courtesy lights
Home Safe System
When you leave your car at night, you can
make use of the courtesy lighting function:
Remove the key from the ignition switch.
Pull the direction indicator lever towards
the steering wheel (as when activating the
high beams).
Exit the car and lock the doors.
The headlights, parking lights, license plate
lights and the lights in the sideview mirrors
will now come on and remain on for 30, 60 or
90 seconds (the time interval is at your
discretion and can be changed by an authorized
Volvo retailer).
Approach lighting
When approaching the car at night, press the
yellow button in the central locking remote
control (see illustration on to page 70). This
lights up the interior courtesy light, parking
lights, license plate lights and the lights in the
sideview mirrors.
pg. 71 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 tailgate.
Your car is supplied with two coded key ring
transmitters, which will enable you to lock/
unlock all doors and the tailgate from a
distance of 10-15 feet (3-5 meters).
The remote transmitter will also activate or
deactivate the your car's alarm system(s).
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
your nearest authorized Volvo retailer for
assistance.
Using the remote control
Press the LOCK button once to lock all
doors, fuel filler door and tailgate.
Press the UNLOCK button once to unlock
the driver's door only. Press this button
again (within 10 seconds) to unlock all
doors, fuel filler door and tailgate.
To open the tailgate (without unlocking the
other doors), press the tailgate-unlock
button twice.
NOTE:
If the doors are unlocked with the remote,
the locks will automatically reengage (re-lock)
and the alarm will reset after 2 minutes unless a door has been opened.
The lock/unlock and alarm features can
also be utilized by using the keys.
Remote keyless entry system
and driver's seat/sideview
mirrors
The remote control transmitter also controls
the electrically operated driver's seat and
sideview mirrors in the following way:
Adjust the seat/sideview mirrors to your
preferences.
When you leave your car, lock it using the
remote control.
The next time you unlock the driver's door
with the same remote control (the one you
used to lock the doors with) and open the
driver's door, the driver's seat and
sideview mirrors will automatically move
to the position in which you left them.
The seat/mirrors will move to this position
even if someone else has adjusted them
since you last drove the car.
NOTE:
This feature will work in the same way
with all of the remote control transmitters
(up to 3) that you use with your car.
This feature will not function if you lock
your car with the key.
* See page 74 for more information on this function.
pg. 72 Remote keyless entry system

Remote keyless entry system
- replacing batteries
If the range of the transmitter is noticeably
reduced, this indicates that the battery is weak
and should be replaced.
To replace the battery
Remove the screw on the transmitter cover
with a small screwdriver
Remove the cover carefully pressing it
rearward/upward
Replace the battery with a new 3-volt,
CR 2032 battery. The battery should be
inserted with the minus side upward.
Avoid touching the contact surfaces of the
battery with your fingers.
Reinstall the cover and tighten the screw to
help protect the transmitter.
NOTE: The old battery should be disposed of
properly at a recycling center or at your Volvo
retailer.
WARNING!
Volvo does not recommend using the
transmitter to lock the doors from inside the
car. 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.

pg. 73 Locking and unlocking the car
|
Unlocking the tailgate
The tailgate lock is incorporated in the central
locking system and is locked or unlocked
when the driver's door is locked/unlocked.
The tailgate can be unlocked by:
Pressing UNLOCK on the remote control
twice.
Using the central locking button on the
driver's door.
Pressing twice on the remote control's
tailgate unlock button.
Central locking buttons
These buttons (located on the both front door
armrests) can be used to lock/unlock all doors
and the tailgate and set the alarm.
The rear passenger doors can also be locked
and unlocked with the individual lock buttons
on each door.
Automatic locking (retailer
installed option)
If your car is equipped with this option, all
unlocked doors will automatically be locked
when the car exceeds a speed of 3 mph
(5 km/h).
Please be aware of the following:
If the doors are unlocked using the central
locking button after the doors have
automatically locked and no door has been
opened, the doors will not automatically
re-lock the next time the car exceeds 3
mph (5 km/h).
If any doors are unlocked by pulling up the
lock knob after the doors have been
automatically locked and no door has been
opened, the doors will not automatically
re-lock the next time the car exceeds 3
mph (5 km/h).
If a door is opened after the car has
exceeded 3 mph (5 km/h), that door will
not be re-locked.
* This option is only available on models built on or after May 15, 2000.
Alarm
The alarm is automatically armed whenever you lock your car.
When armed, the alarm continuously monitors a number of points on
the car. The following conditions will set off the alarm:
The hood is forced open.
The tailgate is forced open.
A door is forced open.
The ignition switch is tampered with.
If there is movement in the passenger compartment (if the car is
equipped with the optional movement sensor).
The car is lifted or towed (if the car is equipped with the optional
inclination sensor).
The battery is disconnected (while the alarm is armed).
Arming 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 front
doors with the door open. One long flash of the turn signals will
confirm that the alarm is armed.
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.
Visual alarm signal
The visual alarm signal is given by flashing all turn signals and turning
on the interior lighting for approximately 5 minutes.
Audible alarm signal
An audible alarm signal is given by a battery powered siren. One alarm
cycle lasts for 25 seconds.
"Panic" button
In an emergency situation, this feature can be used to attract attention.
Activate the "panic" function by pressing the red button on the remote
control (see illustration on page 71) 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 car's horn 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. When a
button is pressed, there is a 5 second delay before the panic alarm is
deactivated.
NOTE: This function will NOT unlock the car.
Temporarily turning off the alarm sensor(s) -option
This button will only be found in cars equipped with the optional
inclination and/or movement sensors.
In certain situations it may be desirable to turn off the optional inclination
and movement alarm sensors if, for example, you drive your car
onto a ferry where the rocking of the boat could trigger the alarm or if a
pet is left in the car with the doors locked.
To temporarily turn off the inclination and movement alarm sensors
from the alarm system:
From the time the ignition key is turned from the Drive position
(position II) until you lock the car, you can press the button in the center
console *. The LED in the switch will light up and a message will be
displayed in the text window to indicate that the sensors are
disconnected.
The car can then be locked in the usual way to set the alarm.
NOTE: The optional sensors are automatically reconnected to the alarm
system the next time the car is unlocked and then locked again.
LED alarm status signals
The status of the alarm system is indicated by the red LED at the top of
the dash:
LED off - the alarm is not armed
LED flashes once per second - the alarm is armed
LED flashes rapidly before the ignition is switched on - the alarm
has been triggered
Fault in the alarm system: If a fault has been detected in the alarm
system, a message will be displayed in the text window. Contact a
Volvo retailer.
Automatic re-lock/re-arm system
If the car is unlocked with the remote, the car will re-lock and the alarm
will re-arm after 2 minutes unless a door or the tailgate has been
opened.
* The position of this button may vary, depending on the specifications
of your car.
