Introduction
Important information
11
WARNING
If any of these instructions are not followed
then there is a risk of eye injury!
•Never look into the laser sensor (which
emits spreading invisible laser radiation)
at a distance of 100 mm or closer with
magnifying optics such as a magnifying
glass, microscope, lens or similar opti-
cal instruments.
•Testing, repair, removal, adjustment
and/or replacement of the laser sen-
sor's spare parts must only be carried
out by a qualified workshop - we rec-
ommend an authorised Volvo work-
shop.
•To avoid exposure to harmful radiation,
do not carry out any readjustments or
maintenance other than those specified
here.
•The repairer must follow specially
drawn up workshop information for the
laser sensor.
•Do not remove the laser sensor (this
includes removing the lenses). A
removed laser sensor does not fulfil
laser class 3B as per standard IEC
60825-1. Laser class 3B is not eye-safe
and therefore entails a risk of injury.
•The laser sensor's connector must be
unplugged before removal from the
windscreen.
•The laser sensor must be fitted onto the
windscreen before the sensor's con-
nector is plugged in.
•The laser sensor transmits laser light
when the remote control key is in posi-
tion II and also with the engine switched
off (see page 81 on key positions).
For more information on the laser sensor, see
page 184.

01 Safety
Safety mode 01
32
Driving after a collision
If the car is involved in a collision, the textSafety mode See manual may appear on the
information display. This means that the car
has reduced functionality. Safety mode is a
protective state that is enforced when the col-
lision may have damaged any of the car's vital
functions, such as the fuel lines, sensors for
one of the safety systems, or the brake system.
Attempting to start the carFirst, check that no fuel is leaking from the car.
There must be no smell of fuel either.
If everything seems normal and you have
checked for indications of fuel leakage, you
may attempt to start the car.
Remove the remote control key and open the
driver's door. If a message is now shown to theeffect that the ignition is on, press the start
button. Then close the door and reinsert the
remote control key. The car's electronics will
now try to reset themselves to normal mode.
Then try to start the car.
If the message
Safety mode See manual is
still shown on the display then the car must not
be driven or towed, but a vehicle recovery serv-
ice used instead. Even if the car appears to be
driveable, hidden damage may make the car
impossible to control once moving.
Moving the car
If Normal mode is shown after Safety mode
See manual has been reset, the car can be
moved carefully out of a dangerous position.
Do not move the car further than necessary.
WARNING
Never attempt to repair your car or reset the
electronics yourself if the car has been in
safety mode. This could result in personal
injury or the car not functioning as normal.
Volvo recommends that you engage an
authorised Volvo workshop to check and
restore the car to normal status after
Safety
mode See manual has been displayed.
WARNING
Never, under any circumstances, attempt to
restart the car if it smells of fuel when the
Safety mode message is displayed. Leave
the car at once.
WARNING
If the car is in safety mode it must not be
towed. It must be transported from its loca-
tion. Volvo recommends that it is transpor-
ted to an authorised Volvo workshop.

pared with the remote control key. The contin-
uation of this chapter describes the functions

Using the information button enables access to
certain information from the car via the indica-
tor lamps.
Using the information button
Press the information button .
> All indicator lamps flash for approxi-
mately 7 seconds and the light travels
around on the PCC. This indicates that
information from the car has been read.
If any of the other buttons are pressed
during this time then the reading is inter-
rupted.
NOTE
If none of the indicator lamps illumi-
nates with repeated use of the information
button and in different locations (as well as
after 7 seconds and after the light has trav-
elled around on the PCC), contact a work-
shop - an authorised Volvo workshop is rec-
ommended.
Indicator lamps display information in accord-
ance with the following illustration:
Green continuous light – the car is locked.
Yellow continuous light – the car is
unlocked.
Red continuous light – the alarm has been
triggered since the car was locked.
Red light flashing alternately in both indi-
cator lamps – The alarm was triggered less
than 5 minutes ago.
Range PCCThe PCC's range for locking, unlocking and
tailgate is about 20 m from the car, for other
functions up to about 100 m.
If the car does not verify a button being pressed
- move closer and try again.
NOTE
The information button functions can be
disrupted by surrounding radio waves,
buildings, topographical conditions etc.
Out of PCC rangeIf the PCC is too far away from the car for the
information to be read then the status the car
was last left in is shown, without the light trav-
elling around on the PCC.
If several PCCs are used for the car then it is
only the PCC last used for locking/unlocking
that shows correct status.
NOTE
If no indicator lamps illuminate when
the information button is used within range
then this may be because the last commu-
nication between the PCC and the car was
disrupted by surrounding radio waves,
buildings, topographical conditions etc.
