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").

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 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

pg. 73 Remote keyless entry system
ProCarManuals.com 
Page 47 of 123
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.

pg. 74 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.
