WARNING!
If the doors are locked while driving, this may hinder rapid access to t\
he occupants of the vehicle in
the event of an accident. (Also see information on "Child safety locks"\
).
NOTE: To help prevent accidentally locking the keys in the vehicle, the centra\

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 an authorized Volvo retail\
er for reprogramming as an
antitheft measure.
NOTE: If two of the keys to your vehicle are close together, e.g., on the same\
key ring, when you try to
start the vehicle, this could cause interference in the immobilizer syst\
em and result in the vehicle not
starting. If this should occur, remove one of the keys from the key ring\
before trying to start the vehicle
again.
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject\
to the following condition: (1)

WARNING!
Never use the transmitter to lock the doors from inside the vehicle.
Doing so would ACTIVATE:
- the break-in alarm, which would sound if one of the doors were opened \
- the optional interior motion and inclination alarm sensors.
Doing so would DEACTIVATE:

- the central locking buttons on the front door armrests, although the i\
nterior door handles would still

to unlock the vehicle.
In addition, locking an occupied vehicle would hinder rapid access to th\
e occupants in an accident or
emergency.
Replacing the battery in the remote control

replaced.
To replace the battery

r.
2. Insert a new 3-volt, CR2032 battery, with the battery's plus side up.\
Avoid touching the contact

ctly positioned to help keep out
