Locks And Alarm - Volvo C70 Owner's Manual

Locks and alarm

Remote control with key blade
Remote control
The car is supplied with two remote controls
which also serve as ignition keys. The remote
controls contain detachable metal key blades
for mechanical locking/unlocking of the
driver's door, glovebox and boot lid.
The key blades' unique code is available at
authorised Volvo workshops, which can
produce new key blades.
A maximum of six remote controls can be
programmed and used for one single car.
Lock indicator for locking/unlocking
When the car is locked or unlocked using the
Keyless drive system or the remote control,
two flashes of the direction indicators serve
to indicate that locking/unlocking was
correctly performed. The indication is only
given if all locks are activated once the doors
have been closed.
The locking indicator can be deactivated so
that no signal for correct locking of the car is
obtained, see page 58.
Loss of a remote control
If you lose a remote control, take the car and
the other remote control to an authorised
Volvo workshop. The code of the missing
remote control must be erased from the
system as a theft prevention measure.

Immobiliser
The remote controls are fitted with coded
chips. The code must be accepted by the
reader (receiver) in the ignition switch. The
car can only be started if the correct remote
control with the correct code is used.
IMPORTANT!
The narrow section of the remote control
is particularly sensitive - this contains the
chip. The car cannot be started if the chip
is damaged.
