Driving after a collision
If the car is involved in a collision, the textSafety mode See manual may appear on the
information display. This means that the car
has reduced functionality. Safety mode is a
protective state that is enforced when the col-
lision may have damaged any of the car's vital
functions, such as the fuel lines, sensors for
one of the safety systems, or the brake system.
Attempting to start the carFirst, check that no fuel is leaking from the car.
There must be no smell of fuel either.
If everything seems normal and you have
checked for indications of fuel leakage, you
may attempt to start the car.
Remove the remote control key and open the
driver's door. If a message is now shown to theeffect that the ignition is on, press the start
button. Then close the door and reinsert the
remote control key. The car's electronics will
now try to reset themselves to normal mode.
Then try to start the car.
If the message
Safety mode See manual is
still shown on the display then the car must not
be driven or towed, but a vehicle recovery serv-
ice used instead. Even if the car appears to be
driveable, hidden damage may make the car
impossible to control once moving.
Moving the car
If Normal mode is shown after Safety mode
See manual has been reset, the car can be
moved carefully out of a dangerous position.
Do not move the car further than necessary.
WARNING
Never attempt to repair your car or reset the
electronics yourself if the car has been in
safety mode. This could result in personal
injury or the car not functioning as normal.
Volvo recommends that you engage an
authorised Volvo workshop to check and
restore the car to normal status after
Safety
mode See manual has been displayed.
WARNING
Never, under any circumstances, attempt to
restart the car if it smells of fuel when the
Safety mode See manual message is dis-
played. Leave the car at once.
WARNING
If the car is in safety mode it must not be
towed. It must be transported from its loca-
tion. Volvo recommends that it is transpor-
ted to an authorised Volvo workshop.

NOTE
If no indicator lamps illuminate when
the information button is used within range
then this may be because the last commu-

disrupted by surrounding radio waves,
buildings, topographical conditions etc.
Detachable key blade
A remote control key contains a detachable
key blade of metal with which some functions
can be activated and some operations carried
out.
The key blade's unique code is provided by
authorised Volvo workshops, which are rec-
ommended when ordering new key blades.
Key blade functionsUsing the remote control key's detachable key
blade:
•the left-hand front door can be opened
manually if central locking cannot be acti-
vated with the remote control key, see
page 56.
•the rear doors' mechanical child safety
locks can be activated/deactivated, see
page 64.
•the right-hand front door and the rear
doors can be locked manually, e.g. in the
event of power failure, see page 59.
•access to the glovebox and cargo area
(privacy locking*) can be blocked, see
page 51.
•the airbag for front passenger seat
(PACOS)* can be activated/deactivated,
see page 22.
Removing the key blade
G021082

At the same time pull the key blade straight
out backwards.
Attaching the key bladeCarefully refit the key blade into its location in
the remote control key.1. Hold the remote control key with the slot
pointed up and lower the key blade into its
slot.
2. Lightly press the key blade. You should
hear a "click" when the key blade is locked
in.
Unlocking doors with the key blade
If central locking cannot be activated with the
remote control key - e.g. if the batteries are
discharged - then the left-hand front door can
be opened as follows:
1. Unlock the left-hand front door with the key
blade in the door handle's lock cylinder.
See also the figure and further information
on page see page 56.
NOTE
When the door has been unlocked using the
key blade and is opened, the alarm is trig-
gered.
2. Deactivate the alarm by inserting the
remote control key in the ignition switch.

Keyless drive*

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.55 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 46.
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 I or II is active
(see page 80) and if all doors are closed, then
a warning message is shown in the information
display and an audible 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.
NOTE
Do not place/store the PCC near a mobile
phone or metal object - no closer than 10-15
cm.
If interference is experienced nonetheless, use
the PCC and the key blade as a remote control
key, see page 47.

is pushed straight up and into the open-
ing.
2. Then insert the key blade in the lock cylin-
der and unlock the door.
3. Refit the plastic cover after unlocking.
NOTE
When the driver's door is unlocked using the
key blade and is opened, the alarm is trig-
gered. It is switched off by inserting the PCC
in the ignition switch, see page 66.
Key memory2 – driver's seat and door
mirrors
PCC memory function
If several people each with a PCC approach the
car, then the settings for seat and mirrors are
implemented for the person who opens the
driver's door.
After the driver's door has been opened by
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 47.
•Select one of three possible memories for
seat adjustment with seat button 1-3, see
page 83.
•Adjust seat and mirrors manually, see
page 83 and 102.
Lock settingsThe Keyless function can be adapted by indi-
cating in the menu system MY CAR which
doors shall be unlocked, under Car settings
Lock settingsKeyless entry - there
select between
All doors unlock, Any door,Doors on same side and Both front doors.
For a description of the menu system, see
page 144.
Antenna location
The keyless system has a number of integrated
antennae located around the car:
Rear bumper, centre
Door handle, left rear
Roof, centre above rear seat
Cargo area, central and furthest in under
the floor
Door handle, right rear

Locking/unlocking

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.59 From the outside
The remote control key can lock/unlock all
doors and the tailgate simultaneously. Different
sequences for unlocking can be selected, see
"Unlocking with the remote control key" page
48.
In order that the lock sequence can be acti-
vated, the driver's door must be closed - if any
of the other doors or the tailgate is open, then
it/they is/are locked and the alarm is activated
only when it/they are closed. With the Key-
less* system all the doors and tailgate must be
closed.
NOTE
Be aware of the risk of locking the remote
control key in the car.
If it is not possible to lock/unlock with the
remote control key, the battery may be dis-
charged - lock or unlock the left-hand front
door with the detachable key blade, see
page 50.
NOTE
Remember that the alarm is triggered when
the door is opened after being unlocked
with the key blade - the alarm is switched
off when the remote control key is inserted
into the ignition switch.
WARNING
Be aware of the risk of being locked in the
car when it is locked from the outside using
the remote control key - it is then not pos-
sible to open any of the doors from the
inside with the door controls. Read more
about this in the section "Deadlocks" later
on.
Automatic relockingIf none of the doors or the tailgate is opened
within 2 minutes of unlocking, all are locked
again automatically. This function reduces the
risk that the car is left unlocked unintentionally.
(For cars with alarm, see page 65.)
Manual lockingIn certain situations the car must be lockable
manually, e.g. in the event of power failure.
The left-hand front door can be locked with its
lock cylinder and the remote control key's
detachable key blade, see page 56.Other doors do not have lock cylinders and
instead have lock knobs on each door's end
face which must be re-turned - then they are
mechanically locked/blocked against opening
from the outside. The doors can still be opened
from the inside.
Manual locking of the door. Not to be mixed up
with child safety locks, see page 64.
–Use the remote control key's detachable
key blade to turn the knob, see page 50.
The door is blocked against opening from
the outside.
The door can be opened from both the
outside and the inside.

02 Locks and alarm
Alarm*

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.65 General
Activated alarm is triggered if:
•a door, the bonnet or the tailgate is opened
•a movement is detected in the passenger
compartment (if fitted with a movement
detector*)
•the car is raised or towed away (if fitted
with a tilt detector*)
•the battery's cable is disconnected
•the siren is disconnected.
If there is a fault in the alarm system, the infor-
mation display shows a message. In which
case, contact a workshop - an authorised
Volvo workshop is recommended.
NOTE
The movement sensors trigger an alarm in
the event of movement in the passenger
compartment - air currents are also regis-
tered. For this reason the alarm is triggered
if the car is left with a window or the sunroof
open or if the passenger compartment
heater is used.
To avoid this: Close the window/sunroof
when leaving the car. If the car's integrated
passenger compartment heater (or a porta-
ble electric heater) shall be used - direct the
airflow from the air vents so that they are not
pointing upwards in the passenger com-
partment.
NOTE
Do not attempt to repair or modify alarm
system components. All such attempts
could affect the terms of insurance.
Alarm indicator
Same LED as lock indicator, see page 47.
A red LED on the instrument panel indicates
the alarm system's status:
•LED not lit – Alarm not armed
•The LED flashes once every other second
– Alarm is armed
•The LED flashes rapidly after disarming the
alarm (and until the remote control key is
inserted in the ignition switch and key posi-
tion I is selected) – Alarm has been trig-
gered.
Arming the alarm–Press the remote control key lock button.
Deactivate the alarm–Press the remote control key unlock but-
ton.

Deactivating a triggered alarm–Press the remote control key unlock button
or insert the remote control key in the igni-
tion switch.
Other alarm functions
Automatic re-arming of the alarmThis function prevents the car being left with
the alarm disarmed unintentionally.
If the car is unlocked with the remote control
key (and the alarm is disarmed) but none of the
doors or the tailgate is opened within 2
minutes, then the alarm is automatically re-
armed. The car is relocked at the same time.
Remote control key not workingIf the alarm cannot be deactivated with the
remote control key, e.g. if the key's battery is
discharged - the car can be unlocked, dis-
armed and the engine started as follows:
1. Open the driver's door with the detachable
key blade - see page 56.
> The alarm is triggered, the alarm indica-
tor flashes rapidly and the siren sounds.
2. Insert the remote control key in the ignition
switch.
> The alarm is deactivated and the alarm
indicator goes out.
3. Start the engine.
Alarm signalsWhen the alarm is triggered, the following hap-
pens:
•A siren sounds for 30 seconds or until the
alarm is switched off. The siren has its own
battery and works independently of the car
battery.
•The direction indicators flash for 5 minutes
or until the alarm is switched off.
Reduced alarm level
To avoid accidental triggering of the alarm -
e.g. if a dog is left in a locked car or during
transport on a car train or car ferry - the move-
ment and tilt detectors should be temporarily
deactivated.
The procedure is the same as with the tempo-
rary disengaging of deadlocks, see page 62.
