Remote control
The car is supplied with two remote controls
which also serve as ignition keys. The remote
controls contain detachable metal key blades
for mechanical locking/unlocking of the driv-
er’s door and glovebox.
The key blades’ unique code is available at
authorised Volvo workshops, who can order
new key blades.
A maximum of six remote controls/key
blades can be programmed and used for one
single car.
Turn signal indication during locking/
unlocking
When the car is locked or unlocked using the
Keyless drive system or the remote control,
two flashes of the direction indicators serve
to indicate that locking/unlocking was cor-
rectly performed. When locking, indication is
only given if all locks are activated once the
doors have been closed.
Personal preferences can be used to deacti-
vate indication via the direction indicators.
There will then be no visual indication as to
whether the lock status is correct. See
page 66.
Loss of a remote control
If you lose a remote control, take the car and
the other remote controls to an authorised
Volvo workshop. The code of the missing re-
mote control must be erased from the sys-
tem as a theft prevention measure.
Immobiliser
The remote controls are fitted with coded
chips. The code must be accepted by the
reader (receiver) in the ignition switch. The
car can only be started if the correct remote
control with the correct code is used.
