NOTE
02
If no indicator lamps illuminate when
the information button is used within range
then this may be because the last commu-
nication between the PCC and the car was
disrupted by surrounding radio waves,
buildings, topographical conditions etc.
Detachable key blade
A remote control key contains a detachable
key blade of metal with which some functions
can be activated and some operations carried
out.
The key blade's unique code is provided by
authorised Volvo workshops, which are rec-
ommended when ordering new key blades.

blade:
•
the driver's door can be opened manually

remote control key - e.g. if the batteries are
discharged - then the driver's door can be
opened as follows:
1. Unlock the driver's door with the key blade
in the door handle's lock cylinder.

mation see page 56.
NOTE
When the door has been unlocked using the
key blade and is opened, the alarm is trig-
gered.
2. Deactivate the alarm by inserting the
remote control key in the ignition switch.
