Battery Replacement - Volvo 850 User Manual

1994 Volvo 850
Remote keyless entry system
As an option, your car can be equipped with a remote control transmitter. This transmitter uses a radio
frequency which will allow "keyless" entry into the passenger compartment or the trunk. You will be
supplied with two coded key ring transmitters, which will enable you to lock/unlock all doors and the
trunk/tailgate from a distance of 10-15 feet (3-5 meters). To operate the system press either the LOCK or
UNLOCK button. On vehicles equipped with an alarm, the alarm will also be activated/deactivated by
this system.
As an anti-theft precaution, the transmitter should NOT be left with the keys when the car is brought to a
workshop for service/repairs. If one of the transmitters is misplaced, contact the nearest authorized
Volvo dealer for assistance.
This device complies with the FCC rules Part 15. Operations is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference and (2) this device must accept any
interference that may be received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
WARNING! Volvo does not recommend using the transmitter to lock the doors from inside the car.
On cars equipped with an alarm, the alarm would be activated and would sound when one of the doors
is opened. However, as a safety feature, the doors and trunk/tailgate can be unlocked if the starting
(ignition) key is in position I or II.
The doors must not be locked using the remote transmitter while the vehicle is occupied. In case of an
accident, this may hinder rapid access to the occupants of the vehicle.

Battery replacement

If you have to stand closer to the car than normal to operate the system, this is a good indication that the
battery should be replaced.
