Red Key - restricted remote key
*
A Red Key makes it possible for the vehicle owner to set limitations for certain vehicleproperties. The limitations are intended topromote safe use of the vehicle, e.g. when itis loaned out.
For a Red Key, it is possible to define the vehi- cle's maximum speed, set speed remindersand limit the audio system's volume. Severalof the driver support systems will also alwaysbe active. Otherwise, the Red Key functions inthe same way as a standard remote key. These restrictions are intended to help reduce the risk of accidents and help the driver feelmore secure when handing over the vehicle toe.g. a young driver, parking attendant or work-shop.
Driver profile for Red KeyA Red Key is linked to a specific Red Keydriver profile, and when it is active the key'ssettings cannot be changed. It is also not pos-sible to switch to another driver profile, as thisrequires a regular remote key. The Red Key driver profile is activated when the vehicle is unlocked using a Red Key with-out a regular remote key nearby.
NOTE
If the vehicle changes owners, the vehicle must be locked and then unlocked for anew driver profile to be activated.
Ordering a Red KeyOne or more Red Key can be ordered from a Volvo retailer. A total of twelve keys can beprogrammed and used for the same vehicle.Up to ten may be restricted keys, but at leasttwo must be standard remote keys.

Park Assist *
The Park Assist function can help the driver when maneuvering in tight spaces by indicat-ing distances to obstacles using audible sig-nals and graphics in the center display.
Display view showing obstacle zones and sensor sectors.
The center display shows an overview of the vehicle in relation to objects that have beendetected. The marked sector indicates where the obsta- cle is located. The closer the vehicle symbol isto a marked sector forward/rearward, thecloser the detected obstacle is to your vehicle. The side sectors change color as the distance between the vehicle and an object decreases. The audible signals will also speed up the closer the obstacle is to the vehicle. The vol- ume of the audio system will be automaticallylowered. Audible signals for obstacles in front and to the sides of the vehicle are active when thevehicle is moving but will cease after the vehi-cle has been stationary for approx. 2 seconds.Audible signals for obstacles behind the vehi-cle will remain active even when the vehicle isstationary. If a detected obstacle is within approx. 30 cm (1 ft) from the front or rear of the vehicle, thetone will become constant and the active sen-sor's field closest to the vehicle symbol will befilled in. At distances within approx. 25 cm (0.8 ft) from an obstacle to the sides of the vehicle, anrapid pulsing signal will be given and theactive sector fields will change color fromORANGE to RED. The volume of the Park Assist audible signals can be adjusted while the signal is being givenusing the
>II knob or in the center display's
Top view under
Settings.
NOTE
Besides in the sector closest to the vehicle symbol, audible warnings are only providedfor objects located directly in the vehicle'spath.

Battery drain
The electrical functions in the vehicle drain the battery to varying degrees. Avoid usingignition mode II when the engine is switched
off. Use ignition mode I instead, as this uses
less electrical current.
Note that certain accessories may also drain power from the electrical system. Do not usefunctions that use a lot of electrical currentwhen the engine is turned off. Examples ofsuch functions are: blower
headlights
windshield wipers
audio system (especially at high volume).
If the starter battery voltage is low, a message is shown in the driver display. The vehicle'senergy-saving function will then turn off orreduce certain functions, such as the blowerand/or the audio system.
–Charge the battery by starting the engine and let it run for at least 15 minutes (driv-ing charges the battery faster than lettingthe engine idle).
