Immobilizer (start inhibitor)Each of the keys supplied with your vehicle
contains a coded transponder. The code in the
key is transmitted to an antenna in the ignition
slot where it is compared to the code stored in
the start inhibitor module. The vehicle will start
only with a properly coded key. If you misplace
a key, take the other keys to a trained and
qualified Volvo service technician for reprog-
ramming as an anti-theft measure. The follow-
ing messages (which may appear in the instru-
ment panel display) are related to the immobil-
izer:

Keyless drive remote key and driver's
seat/door mirror memory
•When you leave the vehicle with a PCC in
your possession and lock any door, the
position of the driver's seat and door mir-
rors will be stored in the seat's memory.
•The next time a door is opened by a person
with the same PCC in his/her possession,
the driver's seat and door mirrors will auto-
matically move to the position that they
were in when the door was most recently
locked.
NOTE
If several people carrying PCCs approach
the vehicle at the same time, the driver's
seat and door mirrors will assume the posi-
tions they were in for the person who opens
the driver's door.
See also page 85 for information on adjusting
and storing the seat's position in the seat mem-
ory.
Keyless drive information messagesIf all of the PCCs are removed from the vehicle
while the engine is running or if the ignition is
in mode II (see page 82) and all of the doors
are closed, a message will appear in the instru-
ment panel display and an audible signal will
sound.
When at least one PCC has been returned to
the car, the message will be erased in the dis-
play and the audible signal will stop when:
•A door has been opened and closed
•The PCC has been inserted in the ignition
slot
•The READ button (see page 129 for the
location of this button) has been pressed.
