2007 Volvo S60
If the key blade section of the remote is not fully folded out when starting the vehicle, the immobilizer
function may make it impossible to start the engine.
After a cold start, idle speed may be noticeably higher than normal for a short period. This is done to
help bring components in the emission control system to their normal operating temperature as quickly
as possible, which enables them to control emissions and help reduce the vehicle's impact on the
environment.
For cold starts at altitudes above 6000 ft (1800 meters), depress the accelerator pedal halfway and turn
the key to the starting position. Release the pedal slowly when the engine starts.
- To release the gear selector from the (P)ark position, the engine must be running (or the ignition key
must be in position II) and the brake pedal must be depressed.
- Select the desired gear. The gear engages after a very slight delay which is especially noticeable when
selecting R.
NOTE: Your vehicle is equipped with a KEYLOCK system (automatic transmission). When the engine
is switched off, the gear selector must be in the (P)ark position before the key can be removed from the
ignition switch.
When starting in cold weather, the transmission may shift up at slightly higher engine speeds than
normal until the automatic transmission fluid reaches normal operating temperature.
WARNING!
An extra mat on the driver's floor can cause the accelerator pedal to catch. Check that the movement
of the accelerator pedal is not impeded. No more than one protective floor covering may be used at
one time.
WARNING!
Always place the gear selector in Park or in reverse on models with a manual transmission, and apply
the parking brake before leaving the vehicle. Never leave the vehicle unattended with the engine
running.
Always open garage doors fully before starting the engine inside a garage to ensure adequate
ventilation. The exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, which is invisible and odorless but very
poisonous
1. 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 interference 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.
