Using the information button enables access to
certain information from the car via the indica-
tor lamps.
Using the information button
Press the information button .
> All indicator lamps flash for approxi-
mately 7 seconds and the light travels
around on the PCC. This indicates that
information from the car has been read.
If any of the other buttons are pressed
during this time then the reading is inter-
rupted.
NOTE
If none of the indicator lamps illumi-
nates with repeated use of the information
button and in different locations (as well as
after 7 seconds and after the light has trav-
elled around on the PCC), contact a work-
shop - an authorised Volvo workshop is rec-
ommended.
Indicator lamps display information in accord-
ance with the following illustration:
Green continuous light – the car is locked.
Yellow continuous light – the car is
unlocked.
Red continuous light – the alarm has been
triggered since the car was locked.
Red light flashing alternately in both indi-
cator lamps – The alarm was triggered less
than 5 minutes ago.
Range PCCThe PCC's range for locking, unlocking and
tailgate is about 20 m from the car, for other
functions up to about 100 m.
If the car does not verify a button being pressed
- move closer and try again.
NOTE
The information button functions can be
disrupted by surrounding radio waves,
buildings, topographical conditions etc.
Out of PCC rangeIf the PCC is too far away from the car for the
information to be read then the status the car
was last left in is shown, without the light trav-
elling around on the PCC.
If several PCCs are used for the car then it is
only the PCC last used for locking/unlocking
that shows correct status.
NOTE
If no indicator lamps illuminate when
the information button is used within range
then this may be because the last commu-
nication between the PCC and the car was
disrupted by surrounding radio waves,
buildings, topographical conditions etc.

G017869
Active locks for remote control key with key blade.
G017870
Active locks for remote control key, without key
blade and privacy locking activated.
The privacy locking function is intended for
when the car is left for service, with a hotel
parking valet or similar. The glovebox is thenlocked and the tailgate lock is disconnected
from the central locking - the tailgate cannot be
opened with either the central locking button in
the front doors or the remote control key.
This means that the remote control key without
key blade can only be used to activate/deacti-
vate the alarm, to open the doors and to drive
the car.
The remote control key without key blade can
then be handed over to the service or hotel staff
- the loose key blade is retained by the car
owner.
NOTE
Do not forget to pull out the cargo cover
over the cargo area before closing the tail-
gate, see page 276.
Activating/deactivating

play shows a message at the same time.
The glovebox is then locked and the tailgate
can no longer be unlocked with the remote
control key or the central locking button.

Keyless drive*

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.57 Keyless lock and ignition system (only
PCC
1)
General
The keyless drive function in the PCC allows
the car to be unlocked, driven and locked with-
out the need for a key. You simply have to have
the PCC with you. The system makes it easier
and more convenient to open the car, e.g.
when your hands are full.
Both of the car's PCCs incorporate the Keyless
function. Additional PCCs can be ordered, see
page 48.
PCC rangeIn order to open a door or the tailgate, a PCC
must be no more than approx. 1.5 metres fromthe car door handle or tailgate. This means that
the person who wishes to lock or unlock a door
must have the PCC with him or her. It is not
possible to lock or unlock a door if the PCC is
on the opposite side of the car.
The red rings in the preceding illustration indi-
cate the range covered by the system's anten-
nas.
If all PCCs are removed from the car when the
engine is running or key position II is active
(see page 81) and if all doors are closed, then
a warning message is shown in the information
display and an audio reminder signal sounds at
the same time.
The warning message clears and the audio
reminder signal stops when the PCC is brought
back to the car after:
•a door has been opened and closed
•the PCC is inserted into the ignition switch
•the READ button has been pressed.
Handling the PCC safelyIf a PCC with keyless drive function is left in the
car, it is deactivated temporarily when the car
is locked. This prevents unauthorised entry.
However, if someone breaks into the car,
opens the door and finds the PCC, it can bereactivated. It is therefore important to handle
all PCCs with great care.
IMPORTANT
Never leave a PCC behind in the car.
Interference to PCC functionElectromagnetic fields and screening can inter-
fere with the keyless drive system. For this rea-
son, do not place the PCC near mobile phones
or metallic objects.
If interference is experienced nonetheless, use
the PCC and the key blade as a remote control
key, see page 49.

Locking
Cars with the Keyless system have a pressure-
sensitive area on the outer handle of the doors and
a rubberised button next to the tailgate's rubber-
ised pressure plate.
Lock the doors and the tailgate with one long
press on any of the door handles' pressure-
sensitive areas or press the smaller of the tail-
gate's two rubberised buttons - the lock indi-
cator in the windscreen confirms that locking
has been completed by starting to flash, see
page 49.
All doors and the tailgate must be closed
before the car can be locked - otherwise the
car is not locked.
NOTE
On cars with automatic transmission, the
gear selector must be set in the P position
– otherwise the car cannot be locked or the
alarm armed.
UnlockingUnlocking takes place when a hand grasps a
door handle or the tailgate's rubberised pres-
sure plate is actuated - open the door or tail-
gate as normal.
NOTE
The door handles normally register a hand
that takes hold of the handle, but with thick
gloves on or after a very quick hand move-
ment a second attempt may be required, or
with the glove taken off.
Unlocking with the key blade
If central locking cannot be activated with the
PCC, e.g. if the batteries are discharged, then
the left-hand front door can be opened with the
PCC's detachable key blade (see page 52).
To access the lock cylinder the door handle's
plastic cover must be detached:
1. Press the key blade approx. 1 cm straight
up into the hole on the underside of the
door handle/cover - do not prize.
> The plastic cover is prized loose auto-
matically by the torque when the blade
is pushed straight up and into the open-
ing.

key blade and is opened, the alarm is trig-
gered. It is switched off by inserting the PCC
in the ignition switch, see page 68.
Key memory2 – driver's seat and door

person A with PCC-A, but person B with PCC-
B shall drive, the settings can be changed in
three ways:
•Standing by the driver's door, or sitting
behind the steering wheel, person Bpresses their PCC's unlock button, see
page 49.
