Immobilizer (start inhibitor)Each of the keys supplied with your vehicle
contains a coded transponder. The code in the
key is transmitted to an antenna in the ignition
slot where it is compared to the code stored in
the start inhibitor module. The vehicle will start
only with a properly coded key. If you misplace
a key, take the other keys to a trained and
qualified Volvo service technician for reprog-
ramming as an antitheft measure. The follow-
ing messages (which may appear in the
instrument panel display) are related to the
immobilizer:

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC
rules. Operation is subject to the following con-
dition: (1) This device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device must accept
any interference received, including interfer-
ence that may cause undesired operation.

NOTE
If none of the indicator lights flash when the
information button has been pressed sev-
eral times from different places in relation to
the vehicle, contact an authorized Volvo
service technician.The indicator lights
provide information
according to the illustration:
G030262
Steady green light: the vehicle is correctly
locked.Steady yellow light: the vehicle is not
locked.Alternatively flashing red lights (Heartbeat
sensor): if the two heartbeat sensor lights
flash, this indicates that someone may beinside the vehicle. These lights are only
activated if the alarm has been triggered.
Steady red light: the alarm has been trig-
gered.
RangeThe PCC's lock and unlock functions have a
range of approximately 60 ft. (20 m) from the
vehicle.
NOTE
•
The approach lighting, panic alarm, and
the functions controlled by the informa-
tion button have a range of approxi-
mately 300 ft (100 m) from the vehicle.
•
Buildings or other obstacles may inter-
fere with the function of the PCC.
Outside of the PCC´s rangeIf the PCC is more than approximately 300 ft
(100 m) from the vehicle when the information
button is pressed, no new information will be
received. The PCC most recently used to lock
or unlock the vehicle will show the vehicle's
most recently received status. The indicator
lights will not flash when the information button
is pressed while the PCC is out of range.If more than one PCC is used to lock/unlock
the vehicle, only the one used most recently will
show the correct locking status.
NOTE
If none of the indicator lights illuminate when
the information button is pressed, this may
be because the most recent transmission
between the vehicle and the PCC was inter-
rupted or impeded by buildings or other
objects.Heartbeat SensorThe heartbeat sensor function
is a comple-
ment to the vehicle's standard alarm, and indi-
cates at a distance of up to 300 ft (100 m) that
someone may be in the vehicle. The heartbeat
sensor only functions if the alarm has been
triggered.
NOTE
The heartbeat sensor registers a person's
heartbeat in the form of vibrations in the
vehicle's chassis. For this reason, the sen-
sor's function may be impaired in areas with
high levels of noise or vibrations.Keyless driveVehicles equipped with the optional Personal
Car Communicator have the keyless drive

Range of the keyless drive remote control–5 ft
(1.5 meters)This system makes it possible to unlock and
lock the vehicle without having to press any
buttons on the Personal Car Communicators
(PCC). It is only necessary to have a keyless
drive remote control in your possession to
operate the central locking system.
NOTE
The buttons on the keyless drive remote
control can also be used to lock and unlock
the vehicle, see page 54 for more informa-
tion.
Both of the PCCs provided with the vehicle
have the keyless function, and additional ones
can be ordered. The system can accommo-
date up to six PCCs.
The red rings in the illustration indicate the area
around the vehicle covered by the keyless drive
antennas.Unlocking the vehicle•
A keyless drive remote control must be on
the same side of the vehicle as the door to
be opened, and be within 5 feet
(1.5 meters) of the lock or the tailgate (see
the shaded areas in the illustration).
•
Pull a door handle to unlock and open the
door or pull the tailgate opening control.
The number of doors that are unlocked at the
same time can be set in the vehicle's menu
system, under Car settings

can be locked.Keyless drive remote control and driver's
seat/door mirror memory•
When you leave the vehicle with a PCC in
your possession and lock any door, the
position of the driver's seat will be stored
in the seat's memory.
•
The next time a door is opened by a person
with the same PCC in his/her possession,
the driver's seat and door mirrors will auto-
matically move to the position that they
were in when the door was most recently
locked.

NOTE
If several people carrying PCCs approach
the vehicle at the same time, the driver's
seat and door mirrors will assume the posi-
tions they were in for the person who opens
the driver's door.See also page 80 for information on adjusting
and storing the seat's position in the seat mem-
ory.Keyless drive information messagesIf all of the PCCs are removed from the vehicle
while the engine is running or if the ignition is
in mode II and all of the doors are closed, a
message will appear in the instrument panel
display and an audible signal will sound.
When at least one PCC has been returned to
the car, the message will be erased in the dis-
play and the audible signal will stop when:•
A door has been opened and closed
•
The PCC has been inserted in the ignition
slot
•
TheREAD button (see page 121 for the
location of this button) has been pressed.
CAUTION
•
Keyless drive remote controls should
never be left in the vehicle. In the event
of a break-in, a remote found in the
vehicle could make it possible to start
the engine.
•
Electromagnetic fields or metal
obstructions can interfere with the key-
less drive system. Avoid placing the
remote control near cellular phones,
metallic objects or e.g., in a metal brief-
case.
