Locks and remote keys
The vehicle can be locked and unlocked in vari-
ous ways and there are several types of remote
keys that can be used.
Locking/unlocking/opening/closing
The vehicle can be locked/unlocked from the
passenger compartment, using the buttons on
the remote key or by using the optional Passive
Entry system where it is only necessary to have a
key in your possession to lock or unlock the
doors.
On models equipped with a power tailgate
*
, the
tailgate can be opened/closed by moving your
foot under a sensor
*
beneath the rear bumper.
If for any reason a remote key does not function
properly, it may be necessary to replace its bat-
teries but the vehicle can always be locked or
unlocked manually using the remote key's
detachable key blade.
Remote key
The remote key does not have to be physically
handled in order to start the engine because the
vehicle is equipped with the standard Passive
Start system (the key only needs to be in the
front part of the passenger compartment). If the
vehicle is equipped with the optional Passive
Entry system that enables keyless entry and start,
the key can be anywhere in the vehicle when the
engine is started.
Models with Passive Entry
*
also have an extra,
smaller key without buttons called a Key Tag.
Additional keys can be ordered from a Volvo
retailer.

Alarm
The alarm system provides a warning if an
attempt is made to break into the vehicle.
The following conditions will trigger the alarm:
•
a door/hood/tailgate are opened
•
the battery is disconnected
•
the alarm siren is disconnected
If a problem is detected in the alarm system, a
message will be displayed in the instrument
panel.
Do not attempt to repair any of the components
in the alarm system yourself; this could affect the
insurance policy on the vehicle. Contact a trained
and qualified Volvo service technician.
NOTE
One of the alarm sensors, which is sensitive
to metallic objects, is located under the tunnel
console cup holders. Avoid leaving coins,
keys, etc., in the cup holders because they
may inadvertently trigger the alarm.
