Starting (ignition) switch/steering wheel lock
If you find it difficult to insert the key in the ignition or to move the steering wheel, the steering wheel lock might be
under tension. Turn the wheel back and forth slightly to free the ignition key.
In order to reduce car theft, make sure the steering wheel lock is engaged before leaving the car.
A chime will sound if the starting key is left in the ignition lock and the front door on the driver's side is opened.
WARNING!
Never switch off the ignition (turn the ignition key to position 0) or remove the key from the ignition switch while
the car is in motion. This could cause the steering wheel to lock, which would make the car impossible to steer.

One turn with the key towards lock in the drivers door locks both doors and the trunk.
Use the switch on the front door armrests to lock/unlock the car from the inside.
Check the action of the button on the other door to verify its function (lock/ unlock).
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 :
If a door is not closed completely, the courtesy lights will stay on and a chime will sound until the door is closed.
As an added anti-theft measure, new keys have been developed which may take slightly longer to copy or replace if
the original keys are misplaced. Duplicate keys may be ordered from your Volvo retailer.
Immobilizer (start inhibitor)
Each of the keys supplied with your car contains a coded transmitter and receiver (transponder). 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 can only be started if a properly coded key is used.
If you misplace a key, take the other keys to an authorized Volvo retailer. The existing code in the start inhibitor
module and all the keys will be erased as an antitheft measure and a new code will be programmed in.
NOTE: Not more than one of the keys for your car should be kept on the same key ring. This could cause conflicting
signals to be transmitted to the ignition switch, making it impossible to start the car.
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.
The key number codes are stamped on a separate tag supplied with the keys. This tag should be separated from the key
ring and kept in a safe place.
pg. 44 Remote keyless entry system
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 trunk. You will be supplied with two coded key ring

LED alarm status indicator
Alarm
The radio signal emitted from the transmitter, which is used to set/unset the alarm, is a "rolling code" signal. This
means that the signal is changed randomly for each transmission and is intended to help prevent unauthorized
recording of the code.
When armed (set), the alarm continuously monitors a number of points on the car. The following conditions will set off
the alarm:
The hood is opened
The trunk is opened
A door is opened
The ignition switch is tampered with
The car is lifted or towed (if the car is equipped with the optional inclination sensor)
The battery is disconnected (if the car is equipped with the optional backup battery siren). The alarm will sound for
ten 30 second intervals, with a 5 second pause between intervals. This function cannot be interrupted.
Arming (setting) the alarm
Press the LOCK button on the remote control, lock the car using the key in the driver's door or press the central lock
button on one of the doors with the door open. One long flash of the turn signals will confirm that the alarm is set.
Disarming the alarm
Press the UNLOCK button on the remote control or unlock the doors with the key.
Turning off (stopping) the alarm
If the alarm is sounding, it can be stopped by pressing the UNLOCK button on the remote control or by unlocking the
driver's door with the key.
If the alarm is stopped with the remote control, this will be confirmed by two short flashes from the turn signals.
"Panic" function
In an emergency situation, this feature can be used to attract attention.
Activate the "panic" function by pressing the red panic button on the remote control for at least 3 seconds or by
pressing this button twice within 3 seconds. The turn signals will flash, the interior lights will go on and the alarm will
sound.
The function can be turned off by pressing any of the buttons on the remote control or will stop automatically after 25

NOTE: It is particularly important to wash the car frequently in the wintertime to prevent corrosion, when salt has
been used on the roads.
When washing the car, do not expose it to direct sunlight. Use lukewarm water to soften the dirt before you wash
with a sponge, and plenty of water, to avoid scratching.
Bird droppings: Remove from paintwork and the convertible top as soon as possible. Otherwise the finish may be
permanently damaged.
A detergent can be used to facilitate the softening of dirt and oil.
A water-soluble grease solvent may be used in cases of sticky dirt. However, use a wash place equipped with a
drainage separator.
Dry the car with a clean chamois and remember to clean the drain holes in the doors and rocker panels *.
The power radio antenna must be dried after washing.
Tar spots can be removed with kerosene or tar remover after the car has been washed.
A stiff-bristle brush and lukewarm soapy water can be used to clean the wiper blades. Frequent cleaning improves
visibility considerably.
Wash off the dirt from the underside (wheel housings, fenders, etc.).
In areas of high industrial fallout, more frequent washing is recommended.
CAUTION: During high pressure washing, the spray mouthpiece must never be closer to the painted surfaces of the
vehicle than 13" (30 cm). Do not spray directly into the locks.
When washing or steam cleaning the engine, avoid spraying water or steam directly on the electrical components or
toward the rear side of the engine.
After cleaning the engine, the spark plug wells should be inspected for water and blown dry if necessary.
Suitable detergents
Special car washing detergents should be used. A suitable mixture is about 2.5 fl. oz. (8.5 cl) of detergent to 2.6 US
gal. (10 liters) of warm water. After washing with a detergent the car should be well rinsed with clean water.
WARNING!
When the car is driven immediately after being washed, apply the brakes several times in order to remove any
moisture from the brake linings.
Engine cleaning agents should not be used when the engine is warm. This constitutes a fire risk.
Volvo offers an environmentally friendly Car Care Kit, containing waxing, washing, and degreasing agents.
NOTE: When washing the car, remember to remove dirt from the drain holes in the doors and sills. Bumpers: Wash
the bumpers with the same cleaning agent used on the rest of the car. Never clean the bumpers with gasoline or paint
thinner. Difficult spots can be removed with denatured alcohol. To avoid scratches, do not dry the bumpers with paper.
