Immobilizer (start inhibitor)

The immobilizer is a start inhibitor that helps pre-
vent unauthorized persons from starting the
engine.
Each of the keys supplied with your vehicle con-
tains a coded transponder. The code in the key
is transmitted to an antenna in the ignition slot
where it is compared to the code stored in the
start inhibitor module. The vehicle will start only
with a properly coded key. If you misplace a key,
take the other keys to a trained and qualified
Volvo service technician for reprogramming as
an anti-theft measure. The following messages
(which may appear in the instrument panel dis-
play) are related to the immobilizer:
