Introduction
Two remote keys or optional Personal Car Communicators (PCC) are provided with your vehicle. They enable you to
unlock the doors and trunk, and also function as ignition keys to start the vehicle or operate electrical components. The
remote keys contain detachable metal key blades for manually locking or unlocking the driver's door, trunk, and the
glove compartment. Up to six remotes can be programmed for use on the same vehicle.
The PCCs have enhanced functionality compared with the standard remote control.
NOTE
In the remainder of this chapter, all references to the remote key also pertain to the PCC unless otherwise stated.
WARNING
Never leave the remote key in the ignition if children are to remain in the vehicle.
Detachable key blade
Each remote key or PCC contains a detachable metal key blade for mechanically locking or unlocking the driver's
door, trunk, and the glove compartment, and to enable the valet locking function. See page 53 for more information on
ProCarManuals.com

If the remote key is not functioning properly, the trunk can be unlocked with the detachable key blade. See page 53 for
information on removing the key blade from the remote key.
Pull out the cover over the trunk's keyhole.
Unlock the trunk by inserting the key blade in the keyhole and turning a half turn counterclockwise as shown in the
illustration.
Opening the trunk from the inside (U.S. models only)
The S80 is equipped with a florescent handle on the inside of the trunk lid, which can be used in an emergency
situation to open the trunk from the inside. Pull the handle down to release the trunk lid. After use, the handle must be
pushed back into its original position before the trunk can be closed.
This handle is not intended to be used to anchor the trunk lid when long loads are being transported.
WARNING
Keep vehicle doors and trunk locked and keep keys out of a child's reach. Unsupervised children could lock
themselves in an open trunk and risk injury. Children should be taught not to play in vehicles.
On hot days, the temperature in the trunk or vehicle interior can rise very quickly. Exposure of people to these
high temperatures for even a short period of time can cause heat-related injury or death. Small children are
particularly at risk.

The information displays show information on some of the vehicle's functions, such as cruise control, the trip
computer and messages. The information is shown with text and symbols.
More detailed information can be found in the descriptions of the functions that use the information displays.
Gauges
Speedometer
Fuel gauge, see also the section on refueling beginning on page 175.
The tachometer shows engine speed in thousands of revolutions per minute (rpm). Do not drive continuously with
the needle in the red area of the gauge. The engine management system will automatically prevent excessively high
engines speeds. This will be noticeable as a pronounced unevenness in engine speed.

Indicator and warning symbols
High beam and turn signal indicators
Function check
All indicator and warning symbols light up in ignition mode II or when the engine is started. When the engine has

disengaged.
If the engine does not start or if the function check is carried out in ignition mode II, all symbols go out after 5 seconds
except the

symbol for faults in the vehicle's emissions system and the symbol for low oil pressure.
Certain symbols may not have their functions illustrated, depending on the vehicle's equipment.
Indicator and warning symbols
Trailer turn signal indicator
If you are towing a trailer, this light will flash simultaneously with the trailer's turn signals. If the light does not flash,
or if they flash faster than usual when signaling a turn, the turn signals on the trailer or on the vehicle are not
functioning properly.
Malfunction Indicator Light
As you drive, a computer called On- Board Diagnostics II (OBDII) monitors your vehicle's engine, transmission,
electrical and emission systems.
The malfunction indicator (CHECK ENGINE) light will illuminate if the computer senses a condition that potentially
may need correcting. When this happens, please have your vehicle checked by a trained and qualified Volvo service
ProCarManuals.com

technician as soon as possible.
A malfunction indicator (CHECK ENGINE) light may have many causes. Sometimes, you may not notice a change in
your car's behavior. Even so, an uncorrected condition could hurt fuel economy, emission controls, and drivability.
Extended driving without correcting the cause could even damage other components in your vehicle.
Canadian models are equipped with this symbol:
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) warning light
If the warning light comes on, there may be a malfunction in the ABS system (the standard braking system will still
function). Check the system by:
1. Stopping in a safe place and switching off the ignition.
72 03 Your driving environment
Instruments and controls
2. Restart the engine.
3. If the warning light goes off, no further action is required.

Fault in brake system
If this symbol lights, the brake fluid level may be too low. Stop the vehicle in a safe place and check the level in the
brake fluid reservoir, see page 193
. If the level in the reservoir is below MIN , the vehicle should be transported to an
authorized Volvo workshop to have the brake system checked.
If the brake and ABS symbols come on at the same time, there may be a fault in the brake force distribution system.
1. Stop the vehicle in a safe place and turn off the engine.
2. Restart the engine.
If both symbols extinguish, continue driving.
If the symbols remain on, check the level in the brake fluid reservoir. See page 193. If the brake fluid level is
normal but the symbols are still lit, the vehicle can be driven, with great care, to an authorized Volvo workshop to
have the brake system checked.
If the level in the reservoir is below MIN , the vehicle should be transported to an authorized Volvo workshop to
have the brake system checked.
WARNING

DO NOT DRIVE. Have the vehicle towed to an authorized Volvo retailer and have the brake system inspected.
If the ABS and Brake system lights are on at the same time, there is a risk of reduced vehicle stability.

The red warning symbol comes on when a fault has been indicated which could affect the safety and/or drivability of
the vehicle. An explanatory text is shown on the information display at the same time. The symbol remains visible
until the fault has been rectified but the text message can be cleared with the READ button, see page 116
