Cab Doors and Door Lock
The cab door is unlocked with the same
key used for the ignition lock. Keys can be
made to fit only one vehicle or all the vehi-
cles in a fleet of Volvos. A tool for
changing bulbs in the instrument cluster is
included on the keychain.
The key fits in the door lock either way.
Insert the key and turn it 1/4 turn counter-
clockwise to unlock or clockwise to lock
the door.
NOTE! The vehicle is delivered with 2
identical keys. If more keys are needed,
order them through your Volvo Truck au-
thorized dealer. The keys are laser cut and
require a special machine for copying,
available through the dealer. Record the key
code and keep it in a secure place. A new
key can be made if the keys are lost.
The door locks are mechanically or electri-
cally operated. The lock is activated by
either the key from the outside or the door
lock handle from the inside. With mechani-
cal locks, only one door can be
locked/unlocked at a time. With electrical
locks, both doors will be locked/unlocked
by operating either the key or the inner
door lock handle on either side.

Key code on tag of keychain
To lock either door from the inside, push
the door lock handle forward. The handle
will stay in place, indicating the door is
locked. It can be unlocked without opening
the door by moving the door lock handle to
the middle position.
No door can be locked while it is still
open. The door must be closed for the lock
to work. In the event of a power failure the
electrical lock system reverts back to a me-
chanically functioning system.
