Keys
Two types of keys are provided with your car; master keys and a service key. The master key, the remote control, and
the central locking button may all be used to lock and unlock all of your car's locks.
The service key operates the driver's door and the ignition switch. It will also fit the tailgate lock cylinder on models
outfitted with a factory installed third seat. The service key is intended to help deter unwanted entry into the glove
compartment.
Turn the key once to unlock the driver's door and the fuel filler door.
Turn the key again (within 10 seconds) to unlock all doors and the tailgate.
One turn with the key towards lock in the drivers door locks all doors and tailgate.
ProCarManuals.com

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").
NOTE: To help prevent accidentally locking the keys in the car, the central locking system is designed to unlock the
doors immediately if the key is left in the ignition switch, the car is locked using the lock button on the door and the
door is then closed. A sound from the lock will be audible at this time.
Please note that this function will not unlock the doors if the engine is running.
Immobilizer (start inhibitor)
Each of the keys supplied with your car contains a coded transmitter. The code in the key is transmitted to an antenna
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 key operates only driver's door and ignition switch/steering wheel lock.
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
that may cause undesired operation.

pg. 81 Remote keyless entry system
ProCarManuals.com

Remote keyless entry system
Your car is equipped with two coded remote control transmitters with integrated ignition keys called Key Integrated
Remote (KIR). These transmitters use a radio frequency that will enable you to lock/unlock all doors and the tailgate
from a distance of 10-15 feet (3-5 meters).
The transmitters will also activate or allow "keyless" entry into the passenger compartment or the tailgate. They will
also activate or deactivate the vehicle's alarm system(s).
The car can also be locked/unlocked with the key.
If one of the transmitters is misplaced, contact your nearest authorized Volvo retailer for replacement.

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 cover by carefully prying up its rear edge with a small screwdriver
Replace the battery with a new 3-volt, CR 2032 battery. The battery should be inserted with the plus side upward.
Avoid touching the contact surfaces of the battery with your fingers.
Press the cover back into place. Ensure that the rubber seal seats correctly to help prevent moisture from entering the
unit.
NOTE: The old battery should be disposed of properly at a recycling center or at your Volvo retailer.
