Keys
G030177
Your vehicle is equipped with two coded
remote control transmitters with integrated
ignition key blades called Key Integrated
Remote (KIR).
To unlock/lock the vehicle using the key blade:
•
Insert the key blade in the driver's door lock
and turn it once to unlock the
driver's door
only .
•
Turn the key blade again (within 10 sec-
onds) to unlock all doors and the tailgate.
•
Turn the key blade once in the opposite
direction to lock all doors and the tailgate.
Use the switch on the driver's door armrest to
lock/unlock the vehicle from the inside.
WARNING
If the doors are locked while driving, this
may hinder rapid access to the 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 central locking sys-
tem is designed to unlock the doors imme-
diately if the key is left in the ignition switch,
the vehicle is locked using the lock button
on the door and the door is then closed. A
sound from the lock will be audible at this
time.
Please note that this function will not unlock
the doors if the engine is running.
Immobilizer (start inhibitor)
Each of the keys supplied with your vehicle
contains a coded transmitter. The code in the
key is transmitted to an antenna in the ignition
switch where it is compared to the code stored
in the start inhibitor module. The vehicle will
start only with a properly coded key.
Each key has a unique code, which your Volvo
retailer uses if new keys are required. A maxi-
mum of six remote controls/keys can be pro-
grammed and used for one vehicle.
If you misplace a key, take the other keys to an
authorized Volvo retailer for reprogramming as
an antitheft measure.
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 inter-
ference in the immobilizer system 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.
