Locks and alarm

Remote control with key blade

Remote control

The car is supplied with two remote controls.
These also work as ignition keys. The remote
controls contain a removable metal key blade
for the manual locking and unlocking of the
driver's door and the glovebox. A separate
label with the code for key blade is included.
Keep this label in a safe place. Take it to an
authorised Volvo workshop when ordering
new keys. A maximum of six remote controls/
key blades can be programmed and used for
one car.
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 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.
