Keyless locking and unlocking
This system makes it possible to unlock and lock the vehicle without having to use the remote control. 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 117 for

more information.
Both of the remote controls provided with the vehicle have the keyless function, and additional remotes can be
ordered. The system can accommodate up to six keyless drive remote controls.
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 rear liftgate opening control (see the shaded areas in the illustration).
Pull a door handle to unlock and open the door or press the rear liftgate opening control.
Locking the vehicle
The doors and the rear liftgate can be locked by pressing the lock button in any of the outside door handles.

Locking or unlocking the vehicle with the key blade
The driver's door on vehicles equipped with keyless drive can be locked or unlocked with the remote control's
detachable key blade if necessary. See page 120
for information on removing the key blade from the remote control.
To access the keyhole in the driver's door:
1. Pry off the keyhole cover by inserting the key blade or a small screwdriver in the hole on the underside of the cover

(indicated by the arrow in the inset illustration).
2. Insert the key blade as far as possible in the driver's door lock. Turn the key blade clockwise approximately one
quarter turn to unlock the driver's door only. This will trigger the alarm.
3. To disable the alarm: Press the Unlock button on the keyless drive remote control. If the batteries in the remote are
weak, remove the keyless drive start control from the ignition switch by pressing the catch (see the illustration on page
143) and pulling the control out of the ignition switch. Insert the ignition key section of a keyless drive remote control
in the ignition switch.
NOTE
The number of doors that are unlocked at the same time can be set in the Personal settings menu. See page 78 for
additional information.
If one or more doors and/or the rear liftgate is not fully closed when the lock button is pressed, the door(s) or rear
liftgate will not be locked.
On keyless drive vehicles with an automatic transmission, the gear selector must be in the Park ( P) position and
the ignition must be switched off before the doors/trunk can be locked.
Keyless drive remote control and driver's seat memory
This function is only available on vehicles equipped with the optional power driver's seat.
When you leave the vehicle with a keyless drive remote control 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 remote control in his/her possession, the driver's seat will
automatically move to the position that it was in when the door was most recently locked.
NOTE
If several people carrying keyless drive remote controls approach the vehicle at the same time, the driver's seat will
assume the position it was in for the person who opens a door first.
Keyless drive information messages
If anyone leaves the vehicle with the only keyless drive remote control in his or her possession while the ignition is
switched on,
124 05 Locks and alarm

General information
Economical driving conserves natural resources
Better driving economy may be obtained by thinking ahead, avoiding rapid starts and stops and adjusting the speed of
your vehicle to immediate traffic conditions.
Observe the following rules:

driving, requiring the frequent use of the washers and wipers. Volvo Washer Solvent should be diluted as follows:
Down to 14° F (-10° C): 1 part washer solvent and 4 parts water Down to 5° F (-15° C): 1 part washer solvent and 3
parts water Down to 0° F (-18° C): 1 part washer solvent and 2 parts water Down to -18° F (-28° C): 1 part washer
solvent and 1 part water.
Use Volvo Teflon Lock Spray in the locks.
NOTE
Avoid using de -icing sprays as they can cause damage to the locks.
Conserving electrical current
Keep the following in mind to help minimize battery drain:
When the engine is not running, avoid turning the ignition key to position II. Many electrical systems (the audio
system, the optional navigation system, power windows, etc) will function with the ignition key in position I. This
position reduces drain on the battery.
Please keep in mind that using systems, accessories, etc that consume a great deal of current when the engine is not
running could result in the battery being completely drained.
The optional 12 volt socket in the cargo area provides electrical current even with the ignition switched off, which
drains the battery.
NOTE
If the ignition is switched on, a warning message will be displayed in the text window in the instrument panel
when the battery charge is low.
An energy conserving function designed into the vehicle's electrical system will switch off certain functions or
reduce the load on the battery by, e.g., reducing the audio system's volume.
135 06 Starting and driving
General information
Before a long distance trip
It is always worthwhile to have your vehicle checked by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician before
driving long distances. An authorized Volvo retailer will also be able to supply you with bulbs, fuses, spark plugs and
wiper blades for your use in the event that problems occur.
As a minimum, the following items should be checked before any long trip:
Check that the engine runs smoothly and that fuel consumption is normal.
Check for fuel, oil, and fluid leakage.
Have the transmission oil level checked1.
Check condition of drive belts.
Check state of the battery's charge.
Examine tires carefully (the spare tire as well), and replace those that are worn. Check tire pressures.
The brakes, front wheel alignment, and steering gear should be checked by a trained and qualified Volvo service
technician only.
Check all lights, including high beams.
Reflective warning triangles are legally required in some states/provinces.
Have a word with a trained and qualified Volvo service technician if you intend to drive in countries where it may
