and press it back against the backrest to lock.
WARNING
Volvo recommends that repair or replace-
ment is only carried out by an authorised

cations or additions to the booster cushion.
If an integrated booster cushion has been
subjected to a major load, such as in con-
junction with a collision, the entire booster
cushion must be replaced. Even if the
booster cushion appears to be undamaged,
it may not afford the same level of protec-
tion. The booster cushion must also be
replaced if it is heavily worn.
NOTE
It is not possible to adjust the booster cush-
ion from stage 2 to stage 1. It must first be
reset by being fully folded into the seat
cushion. Refer to the heading below, Low-
ering the two-stage booster cushion.
Lowering the two-stage booster cushionLowering can take place from both the upper
and lower stage to fully lowered position in the
cushion. However, it is not possible to adjustthe booster cushion from the upper stage to
the lower stage.

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.
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 56.
•the rear doors' mechanical child safety
locks can be activated/deactivated, see
page 64.
•the right-hand front door and the rear
doors can be locked manually, e.g. in the
event of power failure, see page 59.
•access to the glovebox and cargo area
(privacy locking*) can be blocked, see
page 51.
•the airbag for front passenger seat
(PACOS)* can be activated/deactivated,
see page 22.

the remote control key.1. Hold the remote control key with the slot
pointed up and lower the key blade into its
slot.
2. Lightly press the key blade. You should
hear a "click" when the key blade is locked
in.
Unlocking doors with the key blade
If central locking cannot be activated with the
remote control key - e.g. if the batteries are
discharged - then the left-hand front door can
be opened as follows:
1. Unlock the left-hand front door with the key
blade in the door handle's lock cylinder.
See also the figure and further information
on page see page 56.
NOTE
When the door has been unlocked using the
key blade and is opened, the alarm is trig-
gered.
2. Deactivate the alarm by inserting the
remote control key in the ignition switch.
For a car with the Keyless system, see
page 56.

02 Locks and alarm
Alarm*
02
* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.65 General
Activated alarm is triggered if:
•a door, the bonnet or the tailgate is opened
•a movement is detected in the passenger
compartment (if fitted with a movement
detector*)
•the car is raised or towed away (if fitted
with a tilt detector*)
•the battery's cable is disconnected
•the siren is disconnected.
If there is a fault in the alarm system, the infor-
mation display shows a message. In which
case, contact a workshop - an authorised
Volvo workshop is recommended.
NOTE
The movement sensors trigger an alarm in
the event of movement in the passenger
compartment - air currents are also regis-
tered. For this reason the alarm is triggered
if the car is left with a window or the sunroof
open or if the passenger compartment
heater is used.
To avoid this: Close the window/sunroof
when leaving the car. If the car's integrated
passenger compartment heater (or a porta-
ble electric heater) shall be used - direct the
airflow from the air vents so that they are not
pointing upwards in the passenger com-
partment.
NOTE
Do not attempt to repair or modify alarm
system components. All such attempts
could affect the terms of insurance.
Alarm indicator
Same LED as lock indicator, see page 47.
A red LED on the instrument panel indicates
the alarm system's status:
•LED not lit – Alarm not armed
•The LED flashes once every other second
– Alarm is armed
•The LED flashes rapidly after disarming the
alarm (and until the remote control key is
inserted in the ignition switch and key posi-
tion I is selected) – Alarm has been trig-
gered.
Arming the alarm–Press the remote control key lock button.
Deactivate the alarm–Press the remote control key unlock but-
ton.

Fault in brake system
Warning
AFor certain engine variants, the symbol for low oil pressure
is not used. Warnings are made via display text, see pages
313 and 315.
Low oil pressureIf this symbol illuminates during driving then
the engine's oil pressure is too low. Stop the
engine immediately and check the engine oil
level, top up if necessary. If the symbol illumi-
nates and the oil level is normal, contact a
workshop. Volvo recommends that you seek
assistance from an authorised Volvo work-
shop.
Parking brake appliedThis symbol illuminates with a constant glow
when the parking brake is applied. The symbol
flashes during application, and then changes
over to a constant glow.
A flashing symbol means that a fault has arisen.
Read the message on the information display.
Airbags – SRSIf this symbol remains illuminated or illuminates
while driving, it means a fault has been
detected in the seatbelt buckle, SRS, SIPS, or
IC systems. Drive immediately to a workshop
to have the system checked. Volvo recom-
mends that you seek assistance from an
authorised Volvo workshop.
Seatbelt reminderThis symbol illuminates if someone in a front
seat has not put on their seatbelt or if someone
in a rear seat has taken off their seatbelt.
Alternator not chargingThis symbol illuminates during driving if a fault
has occurred in the electrical system. Visit a
workshop. Volvo recommends that you seek
assistance from an authorised Volvo work-
shop.
Fault in brake systemIf this symbol illuminates, the brake fluid level
may be too low. Stop the car in a safe placeand check the level in the brake fluid reservoir,
see page 317.
If the brake and ABS symbols illuminate at the
same time, there may be a fault in the brake
force distribution system.
1. Stop the car in a safe place and turn off the
engine.
2. Restart the engine.
•If both symbols extinguish, continue
driving.
•If the symbols remain illuminated, check
the level in the brake fluid reservoir, see
page 317. If the brake fluid level is nor-
mal but the symbols are still illuminated,
the car can be driven, with great care, to
a workshop to have the brake system
checked. Volvo recommends that you
seek assistance from an authorised
Volvo workshop.
WARNING
If the brake fluid is under the MIN level in the
brake fluid reservoir, do not drive further
before topping up the brake fluid.
The loss of brake fluid must be investigated
by a workshop. Volvo recommends that you
contact an authorised Volvo workshop.
