or PCCs (Personal Car Communicator). They
are used to start the car and for locking and
unlocking.

to 6 can be programmed and used for the same
car.
The PCC has increased functionality com-
pared with the remote control key. The contin-

Detachable key blade
A remote control key contains a detachable
key blade of metal with which some functions
can be activated and some operations carried
out.
The key blade's unique code is provided by
authorised Volvo workshops, which are rec-
ommended when ordering new key blades.
Key blade functionsUsing the remote control key's detachable key
blade:
•the left-hand front door can be opened
manually if central locking cannot be acti-
vated with the remote control key, see
page 58.
•the rear doors' mechanical child safety
locks can be activated/deactivated, see
page 66.
•the right-hand front door and the rear
doors can be locked manually, e.g. in the
event of power failure, see page 61.
•access to the glovebox and cargo area
(privacy locking*) can be blocked, see
page 53.
•the airbag for front passenger seat
(PACOS)* can be activated/deactivated,
see page 24.

be opened as follows:

PCC
1)
General
The keyless drive function in the PCC allows
the car to be unlocked, driven and locked with-
out the need for a key. You simply have to have
the PCC with you. The system makes it easier
and more convenient to open the car, e.g.
when your hands are full.
Both of the car's PCCs incorporate the Keyless
function. Additional PCCs can be ordered, see
page 48.
PCC rangeIn order to open a door or the tailgate, a PCC
must be no more than approx. 1.5 metres fromthe car door handle or tailgate. This means that
the person who wishes to lock or unlock a door
must have the PCC with him or her. It is not
possible to lock or unlock a door if the PCC is
on the opposite side of the car.
The red rings in the preceding illustration indi-
cate the range covered by the system's anten-
nas.
If all PCCs are removed from the car when the
engine is running or key position II is active
(see page 81) and if all doors are closed, then
a warning message is shown in the information
display and an audio reminder signal sounds at
the same time.
The warning message clears and the audio
reminder signal stops when the PCC is brought
back to the car after:
•a door has been opened and closed
•the PCC is inserted into the ignition switch
•the READ button has been pressed.
Handling the PCC safelyIf a PCC with keyless drive function is left in the
car, it is deactivated temporarily when the car
is locked. This prevents unauthorised entry.
However, if someone breaks into the car,
opens the door and finds the PCC, it can bereactivated. It is therefore important to handle
all PCCs with great care.
IMPORTANT
Never leave a PCC behind in the car.
Interference to PCC functionElectromagnetic fields and screening can inter-
fere with the keyless drive system. For this rea-
son, do not place the PCC near mobile phones
or metallic objects.
If interference is experienced nonetheless, use
the PCC and the key blade as a remote control
key, see page 49.

Locking
Cars with the Keyless system have a pressure-
sensitive area on the outer handle of the doors and
a rubberised button next to the tailgate's rubber-
ised pressure plate.
Lock the doors and the tailgate with one long
press on any of the door handles' pressure-
sensitive areas or press the smaller of the tail-
gate's two rubberised buttons - the lock indi-
cator in the windscreen confirms that locking
has been completed by starting to flash, see
page 49.
All doors and the tailgate must be closed
before the car can be locked - otherwise the
car is not locked.
NOTE
On cars with automatic transmission, the
gear selector must be set in the P position
– otherwise the car cannot be locked or the
alarm armed.
UnlockingUnlocking takes place when a hand grasps a
door handle or the tailgate's rubberised pres-
sure plate is actuated - open the door or tail-
gate as normal.
NOTE
The door handles normally register a hand
that takes hold of the handle, but with thick
gloves on or after a very quick hand move-
ment a second attempt may be required, or
with the glove taken off.
Unlocking with the key blade
If central locking cannot be activated with the
PCC, e.g. if the batteries are discharged, then
the left-hand front door can be opened with the
PCC's detachable key blade (see page 52).
To access the lock cylinder the door handle's
plastic cover must be detached:
1. Press the key blade approx. 1 cm straight
up into the hole on the underside of the
door handle/cover - do not prize.
> The plastic cover is prized loose auto-
matically by the torque when the blade
is pushed straight up and into the open-
ing.
