Remote key range

In order to function correctly, the remote key
must be within a certain distance from the vehi-
cle.

Manual use

The remote key's functions for e.g. locking and
unlocking, which are activated by pressing

, have a range of approx. 20 meters (65 feet)

from the vehicle.

If the vehicle's locks do not react, move closer
and try again.

Keyless use

The shaded areas around the vehicle illustrate the range
of the system's antennas.

For keyless use, a remote key or the Key Tag
must be within the shaded areas shown in the
illustration, i.e. a semicircle with a radius of
approx. 1.5 meter (5 feet) along the sides of the
vehicle or approx. 1 meter (3 feet) from the trunk
lid.

NOTE

The functions of the remote control key can
be disrupted by ambient radio waves, build-
ings, topographical conditions, etc. The vehi-
cle can always be locked/unlocked using the
key blade.

If the remote key is removed from the
vehicle

If the remote key is removed from the
vehicle while the engine is running, the
warning message

Replacing the remote key's battery

The battery in the remote key must be replaced
when it is discharged.

NOTE

All batteries have a limited service life and
must eventually be replaced (does not apply

depending on how often the vehicle/key is
used.

The remote key battery should be replaced if:

the information symbol illuminates and
the message

again.

The battery in the smaller key without buttons

(the Key Tag) cannot be replaced. A new key can
be ordered from an authorized Volvo workshop.

Red Key - restricted remote key*

A Red Key makes it possible for the vehicle
owner to set limitations for certain vehicle prop-
erties. The limitations are intended to promote
safe use of the vehicle, e.g. when it is loaned
out.

For a Red Key, it is possible to define the vehi-
cle's maximum speed, set speed reminders and
limit the audio system's volume. Several of the
driver support systems will also always be active.
Otherwise, the Red Key functions in the same
way as a standard remote key.

One or more Red Key can be ordered from a
Volvo retailer. A total of twelve keys can be pro-
grammed and used for the same vehicle. Up to
ten may be restricted keys, but at least two must
be standard remote keys.

These restrictions are intended to help reduce
the risk of accidents and help the driver feel more

Keyless and touch-sensitive

surfaces*

If the vehicle is equipped with keyless locking
and unlocking, it is only necessary to have the
remote key within range, e.g. in a pocket or bag,
which makes it easier to open the vehicle if your
hands are full.

Pressure-sensitive surfaces

There are indentations on the outside of the
outer door handles for locking, and pressure-sen-
sitive surfaces on the inside of the handles for
unlocking.

Pressure-sensitive indentation for locking

Pressure-sensitive surface for unlocking

NOTE

It is important that only one pressure-sensi-

dle is grasped at the same time as the lock
area is pressed, there is a risk that double
commands may be sent. This may cause the
requested action (locking/unlocking) to be
delayed or not performed at all.

Trunk lid

The trunk lid handle has a rubberized pressure
plate that can only be used for unlocking.

Keyless locking

All of the doors have to be closed before the
vehicle can be locked. However, the trunk lid can
be open when a door handle is used for locking.

–

To lock, touch the marked area on the out-
side of one of the door handles after the
door is closed or press the button on the
lower edge of the trunk lid

before it is

closed.
> The lock indicator light in the windshield

will flash to confirm that the vehicle is
locked.

To close all door windows at the same time -
place your finger on the pressure-sensitive
indentation on the outside of the door handle and
hold it there until the side windows have closed.

Locking when the trunk lid is open

NOTE

If the vehicle is locked and the trunk lid is still
open, make sure that the remote key is not
left in the trunk when the trunk lid is closed
and the entire vehicle is locked.

If the key is detected in the vehicle, the trunk
lid will not lock when it is closed.

Keyless unlocking

–

To unlock, grasp a door handle or press the
rubberized pressure plate on the underside
of the trunk lid handle.
> The lock indicator light in the windshield

will go out to confirm that the vehicle is
unlocked. Open the doors or trunk lid as
usual.

Automatic relocking

If none of the doors or trunk lid are opened within
two minutes after being unlocked, they will auto-
matically relock. This function reduces the risk of
inadvertently leaving the vehicle unlocked.
