pg. 2:3 Doors and locks


Doors and locks


Your car is equipped with a two door operated central locking system.
The key, used on either of the front doors, will lock/unlock all doors, trunk/tailgate and on certain models also the fuel tank cover.


Turn the key once to unlock the door in which the key is inserted.
Turn the key again (within 10 seconds) to unlock all doors, trunk/tailgate and on certain models also the fuel tank cover.


One turn with the key towards lock in one of the front doors locks all doors, trunk/tailgate and fuel tank filler cap.


Use the switch on the instrument panel to lock/unlock the car from the inside. This button will only function when the doors are closed.


Check the action of the buttons on the other doors to verify their correct function (lock/unlock). The driver's door can be locked only by using the key when outside the vehicle. On vehicles equipped with the optional remote control locking system, refer to the following page.


WARNING! The doors should not be locked while driving. In case of an accident, this may hinder rapid access to the occupants of the vehicle. (Also see information on "child safety locks".



To avoid battery drain.


The courtesy lights and the warning lights in the rear of the doors come on when a door is opened.
To avoid battery drain when the doors are opened for prolonged periods, these lights can be switched off by pressing the lock mechanism (A) located in the rear facing side of the driver's door. To return the lights to their normal function, pull the door handle out before closing the door (B).

pg. 2:4 Remote keyless entry system (certain models)


Remote keyless entry system


As an option, your car can be equipped with a remote control transmitter. This transmitter uses a radio frequency which will allow "keyless" entry into the passenger compartment or the trunk. You will be supplied with two coded key ring transmitters, which will enable you to lock/unlock all doors and the trunk/tailgate from a distance of 10-15 feet (3-5 meters).


To lock :
Press button 1 once to lock all doors and trunk/tailgate.


To unlock :
Press button 2 once to unlock the driver's door only.
Press button 2 again (within 10 seconds) to unlock all doors and trunk/tailgate.



Aim the base of the remote control unit at the car to get the best range.


On vehicles equipped with an alarm, the alarm will also be activated/deactivated by this system.
As an extra security precaution in certain situations (valet parking, etc.), Volvo recommends that the transmitter not be included when the keys are given to anyone. The service key can be used instead. If one of the transmitters is misplaced, contact the nearest authorized Volvo retailer for assistance.


Batteries


The remote transmitter is powered by 2 three-volt batteries, type CR 1220. If three short signals are audible from the transmitter each time you lock/unlock the car, this indicates that the batteries are weak.
Replacement: Remove the battery cover on the back of the transmitter with a coin. Replace the batteries. Reinstall the cover, making sure it is secured tightly to help protect the transmitter.


New transmitters


If you purchase additional transmitters, they must be programmed to function with your remote keyless entry system. Please refer to page 2:21 for instructions.


This device complies with the FCC rules Part 15. Operations is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference and (2) this device must accept any interference that may be received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.


WARNING! Volvo does not recommend using the transmitter to lock the doors from inside the car. On cars equipped with an alarm, the alarm would be activated and would sound when one of the doors is opened. The doors must not be locked using the remote transmitter while the vehicle is occupied. In case of an accident, this may hinder rapid access to the occupants of the vehicle. The alarm will also sound on models equipped with this feature.

pg. 2:5 Alarm


Alarm (certain models)


To lock : Press the large button (number 1 in the illustration) once to lock all doors and trunk/tailgate and arm the security system. Lamps will flash to acknowledge that the vehicle is locked and the security system is armed.
To unlock : Press the small button (number 2 in the illustration) once to unlock the driver's door only and disarm the security system.
Press the button again (within 10 seconds) to unlock all doors and trunk/tailgate.


Emergency function


To activate the " panic alarm " function :
Press and hold button 1 for at least three seconds. The car's lights will flash and an alarm will sound for approximately 30 seconds.
This function can be switched off at any time by pressing either of the buttons.


Programming a transmitter


New transmitters (max. 4) must be programmed to function with your alarm system.
To do this:

  • Make sure all doors, hood and trunk/tailgate are closed.
  • Turn the ignition on and off 5 times within 10 seconds. On the fifth try, leave the ignition on.
  • Press either button on the transmitter.
    NOTE: The first transmitter must be programmed within 15 seconds, the others within 10 second intervals. When the alarm system accepts the codes from each transmitter, the LED on the dash will glow steadily for several seconds.
  • Switch the ignition off and test the transmitter(s).



    Button 1: lock, Button 2: unlock


    Batteries


    The remote transmitter is powered by 2 three-volt batteries, type CR 1220. If three short signals are audible from the transmitter each time you lock/unlock the car, this indicates that the batteries are weak.
    Replacement : Remove the battery cover on the back of the transmitter with a coin. Replace the batteries. Reinstall the cover, making sure it is secured tightly to help protect the transmitter.


    NOTE: If only the driver's door is unlocked, the lock will automatically reengage (re-lock) and the alarm will reset after 30 seconds unless the door has been opened.
    If all of the doors were unlocked (by pushing button 2 twice within 10 seconds) and no door/trunk/tailgate was opened within two minutes, all locks will reengage and the alarm will reset. This is to prevent the vehicle from being left unlocked if the unlock button is inadvertently pressed.
    The lock/unlock and alarm features can also be utilized by using the keys. See section: Keys, Doors and Locks on page 2:2-3.
    If the alarm LED glows continuously for 5 seconds, this indicates a fault in the system or that a door is not properly closed.
