2003 Volvo S80
WARNING!
If the doors are locked while driving, this may hinder rapid access to the occupants of the car in
the event of an accident. (Also see information on "Child safety locks").
Note: To help prevent accidentally locking the keys in the car, the central locking system is designed
to unlock the doors immediately if the key is left in the ignition switch, the car is locked using the
lock button on the door and the door is then closed. A sound from the lock will be audible at this
time.
Please note that this function will not unlock the doors if the engine is running.
Immobilizer (start inhibitor)
Each of the keys supplied with your car contains a coded transmitter. The code in the key is
transmitted to an antenna in the ignition switch where it is compared to the code stored in the start
inhibitor module. The car will start only with a properly coded key.
If you misplace a key, take the other keys to an authorized Volvo retailer for reprogramming as an
antitheft measure.
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following condition:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Exterior Courtesy lights
Home Safe System
When you leave your car at night, you can make use of the courtesy lighting function:
Remove the key from the ignition switch.
Pull the direction indicator lever towards the steering wheel (as when using the headlight flasher
function).
Exit the car and lock the doors.
The headlights, parking lights, license plate lights and the lights in the sideview mirrors will now
come on and remain on for 30, 60 or 90 seconds (the time interval is at your discretion and can be
changed by an authorized Volvo retailer).
Approach lighting
When approaching the car at night, press the yellow button in the central locking remote control (see
illustration on page 61). This lights up the interior courtesy light, parking lights, license plate lights
and the lights in the sideview mirrors.
