removed from  the ignition switch.
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
The ABS  system in your car performs a  self -diagnostic test when the vehicle first reaches the speed of approximately
12 mph (20 km/h). The brake pedal will pulsate several times and  a  sound may be  audible  from  the ABS  control

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 - 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.

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.
