Privacy Locking (Option) - Volvo S40 Owner's Manual

05 Locks and alarm

Privacy locking (option)

Unlocking doors with the key blade
If central locking cannot be activated with the
remote control, e.g. if the batteries are dis-
charged, then the driver's door can be
unlocked and opened as follows:
– Insert the key blade in the driver's door
keyhole.
– Turn the blade 45 degrees clockwise and
open the door.
NOTE
When the driver's door is unlocked using
the key blade and is opened, the alarm is
triggered. It is deactivated by inserting the
05
remote control in the ignition switch. See
page 111.

Privacy locking (option)

This function is intended for when the car is
left for service, with a hotel parking valet or
similar. The glovebox is then locked and the
boot lid lock is disconnected from the central
locking. The cargo area cannot be opened
with either the central locking button in the
front doors or the remote control.
This means that the remote control without
key blade can only be used to activate/deac-
tivate the alarm, to open the doors and to
drive the car.
The remote control key is handed over with-
out the removable key blade which the owner
then keeps.
