Immobilizer (start inhibitor)

The immobilizer is a start inhibitor that helps
prevent unauthorized persons from starting
the engine.
Each of the keys supplied with your vehicle
contains 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 vehi-
cle 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.
