Key
The key activates all locks (ignition switch/steering wheel lock, all doors including the fuel filler door, trunk/tailgate,
and the glove compartment).
Immobilizer (start inhibitor)
Each of the keys supplied with your car is electronically coded. When the key is inserted into the ignition switch, the
code is transmitted to and compared with a 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:
You should never keep more than one of your ignition keys on the ring at the same time. 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.
pg. 41 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
transmitters, which will enable you to lock/unlock all doors and the trunk/tailgate and fuel filler door from a distance
of 10-15 feet (3-5 meters).

WARNING!
Volvo does not recommend using the transmitter to lock the doors from inside the car. The alarm would be activated

Deposit control gasoline (detergent additives)
Volvo recommends the use of detergent gasoline to control engine deposits. Detergent gasoline is effective in keeping
injectors and intake valves clean. Consistent use of deposit control gasolines will help ensure good driveability and
fuel economy. If you are not sure whether the gasoline contains deposit control additives, check with the service
