Remote control key with key blade
The remote control key is used to start the car and for locking and unlocking. It contains adetachable key blade (p. 155) made of metal.The visible section is available in two versionsso that it is possible to distinguish betweenthe remote control keys. The car is supplied with 2 remote control keys or PCCs* (Personal Car Communicator). Additional remote control keys can be ordered - up to 6 can be programmed andused for the same car.
WARNING
If there are children in the car: Remember to switch off the supply to the power windows and sunroof by removingthe remote control key if the driver leavesthe car.
Remote control key with PCC (p. 153) has increased functionality compared with theremote control key, see PCC* - unique func-tions (p. 153).

Remote control key - losing
If you lose a remote control key then a new one can be ordered at a workshop - anauthorised Volvo workshop is recommended. The remaining remote control keys must be taken to the Volvo workshop. The code of themissing remote control key must be erasedfrom the system as a theft prevention meas-ure. The current number of keys registered tothe car can be checked in the menu systemMY CAR
. For a description of the menu sys-
tem, see MY CAR (p. 103).

Key memory*
The key memory in the remote control key (p. 149) means that certain settings in the car canbe individually adapted for different people. The key memory function is available in com- bination with power seat and power rearviewand door mirrors. Settings for door mirrors,driver's seat and steering force can be savedin the key memory.

Keyless drive* - unlocking with the key blade
If central locking cannot be unlocked with the PCC, e.g. if the batteries are discharged, thenthe left-hand front door can be opened withthe PCC's detachable key blade (see Detach-able key blade - detaching/attaching (p. 155)).
Hole for key blade - to loosen the cover.
To access the lock cylinder, the door handle's plastic cover must be removed - this is alsodone 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 automati-cally by means of the torque when the blade is pushed straight up and intothe opening. 2. Then insert the key blade in the lock cyl-
inder 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 istriggered. It is switched off by inserting thePCC in the ignition switch, see Alarm -remote control key not working (p. 172).

Keyless drive* - key memory
The key memory 3
in the PCC means that cer-
tain settings in the car can be individually adapted for different persons. The key memory function is available in com- bination with power seat and power rearviewand door mirrors. Settings for door mirrorsand driver's seat can be saved in the keymemory.
PCC memory functionIf several people each with a PCC approachthe car, then the settings for seat and mirrorsare implemented for the person who opensthe driver's door. After the driver's door has been opened by person A with PCC A but person B withPCC B shall drive, the settings can bechanged as follows:
• Standing by the driver's door, or sitting behind the steering wheel, person Bpresses their PCC's unlock button, seeRemote control key - functions (p. 151).
• Select one of three possible memories forseat adjustment with seat button 1-3, seeSeats, front - electrically operated (p. 73).

BLIS - symbols and messages
In situations where the BLIS (p. 253) and CTA (p. 255) functions fail or are interrupted, thecombined instrument panel may show a sym-bol, supplemented by an explanatory mes-sage. Follow any recommendation given. Message examples:
MessageSpecification
CTA OFFCTA is manually switched off - BLIS is active.
BLIS and CTA OFFTrailerattachedBLIS and CTA are tempo- rarily non-operationalbecause a trailer is con-nected to the car's electri-cal system.

• Visit a workshop if the message remains - anauthorised Volvo work-shop is recommended.
A text message can be acknowledged by briefly pressing the
OK button on the direc-
tion indicator stalk.

Adjustable steering force*
Steering force increases with the speed of the car to give the driver enhanced sensitivity.The steering is firmer and more immediate onmotorways. Steering is light and requires noextra effort when parking and at low speed. The driver can choose between three differ- ent levels of steering force for road respon-siveness or steering sensitivity. The setting ismade in the menu system
MY CAR. For a
description of the menu system, see MY CAR(p. 103). This setting is not accessible when the car is moving.
NOTE
In certain situations the power steering may become too hot and then needs to betemporarily cooled - during this time thepower steering operates with reducedpower and turning the steering wheel maythen be perceived to be slightly heavier. In parallel with the temporarily reduced steering assistance the combined instru-ment panel shows a message.

306* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
• For lowest fuel consumption, activate ECO (p. 288)* 16
.
• Use the ECO Guide which indicates how fuel-efficiently the car is being driven, seeEco guide & Power guide* (p. 63).
• Drive in the highest gear possible, adap-ted to the current traffic situation androad - lower engine speeds result in lowerfuel consumption. Use the gear indicator(p. 272).
• Avoid sudden unnecessary accelerationand heavy braking.
• High speed results in increased fuel con-sumption - the wind resistance increaseswith speed.
• Do not run the engine to operating tem-perature at idling speed, but rather drivewith a light load as soon as possible - acold engine consumes more fuel than awarm one.
• Drive with the correct air pressure in thetyres and check this regularly - selectECO tyre pressure for best results, seeTyres - approved tyre pressures (p. 407).
• Choice of tyres can affect fuel consump-tion - seek advice on suitable tyres from adealer.
• Remove unnecessary items from the car -the greater the load the higher the con-sumption. •
Use engine braking to slow down, when itcan take place without risk to other roadusers.
• A roof load and ski box increase air resis-tance, leading to higher consumption -remove the load carriers when not in use.
• Avoid driving with open windows.
For information about Volvo Car Corpora- tion's environmental philosophy, see VolvoCars' environmental philosophy (p. 19). For more information about fuel consumption, see Fuel consumption and CO2 emissions (p.403).
WARNING
Never switch off the engine while moving, such as downhill, this deactivates impor-tant systems such as the power steeringand brake servo.

Driving with a trailer
When driving with a trailer there are a number of important points to think about regardinge.g. the towing bracket, the trailer and howthe load is positioned in the trailer. Payload depends on the car's kerb weight. The total of the weight of the passengers andall accessories, e.g. towbar, reduces the car'spayload by a corresponding weight. For moredetailed information on weights, see Weights(p. 390). If the towing bracket is mounted by Volvo, then the car is delivered with the necessaryequipment for driving with a trailer. • The car's towing bracket must be of an approved type.
• If the towbar is retrofitted, check withyour Volvo dealer that the car is fullyequipped for driving with a trailer.
• Distribute the load on the trailer so thatthe weight on the towing bracket com-plies with the specified maximum towballload.
• Increase the tyre pressure to the recom-mended pressure for a full load. For tyrepressure label location, see Tyres - airpressure (p. 328).
• The engine is loaded more heavily thanusual when driving with a trailer.
