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-

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.49 General information on privacy locking
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 296.
Activate/deactivate
Activating privacy locking.
To activate privacy locking:
Insert the key blade in the glovebox lock
cylinder.
Turn the key blade 180 degrees clockwise.
The keyhole is vertical in the locked posi-
tion for privacy locking.
Pull out the key blade. The information dis-
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*
02
* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.53 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 44.
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 78) 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 OK 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 45.

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 45.
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
Hole for key blade - to loosen the cover.
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 48)
To access the lock cylinder, the door handle's
plastic cover must be removed - this is also
done with the key blade:
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 loosens automatically
by means of the torque when the blade

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.57 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
46.
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 48.
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 63.)
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 54.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 62.
–Use the remote control key's detachable
key blade to turn the knob, see page 48.
The door is blocked against opening from
the outside.
The door can be opened from both the
outside and the inside.
