Your vehicle is equipped with two coded

(KIR).

the key blade.
2. Insert the key blade in the driver's door
lock and turn it once to unlock the driv-
er's door only.
3. Turn the key blade again (within 10 sec-
onds) to unlock all doors and the tailgate.

4. Turn the key blade once in the opposite
direction to lock all doors and the tailgate.
Use the switch on the driver's door armrest to
lock/unlock the vehicle from the inside.
WARNING
If the doors are locked while driving, this
may hinder rapid access to the occupants
of the vehicle in the event of an accident.
(Also see information on "Child safety
locks".)
NOTE
To help prevent accidentally locking the
keys in the vehicle, the central locking sys-
tem is designed to unlock the doors imme-
diately if the key is left in the ignition
switch, the vehicle is locked using the lock
button on the door and the door is then
closed. A sound from the lock will be audi-
ble 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 vehicle
contains a coded transmitter. The code in the
key is transmitted to an antenna in the igni-
tion switch where it is compared to the code
stored in the start inhibitor module. The vehi-
cle will start only with a properly coded key.
Each key has a unique code, which your
Volvo retailer uses if new keys are required. A
maximum of six remote keys can be pro-
grammed and used for one vehicle.
If you misplace a key, take the other keys to
an authorized Volvo retailer for reprogram-
ming as an antitheft measure.
If two of the keys to your vehicle are close
together, e.g., on the same key ring, when
you try to start the vehicle, this could cause
interference in the immobilizer system and
result in the vehicle not starting. If this should
occur, remove one of the keys from the key
ring before trying to start the vehicle again.
