pg. 2:2 Keys, Doors and Locks


Number tag



The key number codes are stamped on a separate tag supplied with the keys. This tag should be separated from the key ring and kept in a safe place.
As an added anti-theft measure, new keys have been developed, which may take slightly longer to copy or replace if the original keys are misplaced.
In the event the original keys are lost, duplicates may be ordered from your Volvo dealer.
The central locking system is described in detail in section "Doors and locks".

pg. 2:3 Doors and locks

Doors locks


The vehicle is equipped with a central door-locking system. This means the lock on the driver's door controls the locks on the other doors (including the trunk or, on wagon models, the tailgate) automatically.
If the driver's door is locked or unlocked from the outside using the key, the other doors will be locked or unlocked automatically.


To lock/unlock the car by using the lock button on the inside of the driver's door, push/pull to lock/unlock all the doors. 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.


WARNING!
The lock buttons should not be in the down position during 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 interior light 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 pushing in and turning the door light switches slightly clockwise. When the door is closed the switch will return to its normal position.

pg. 2:4 Front seats

Electrically operated front seats


The front seats are electrically operated. Using the switches on the sides of the seats you can adjust:
- the height of the seat (rear)
- the height of the seat (front)
- the forward-backward movement
- the backrest tilt


NOTE: The electrically operated front seats have an overload protector which engages if an object blocks either of the seats. If this happens remove the object and wait 20 seconds. The overload protector should then have cooled down and the power seats should function normally.

Passenger's seat (option)

The STOP button (passenger seat only) overrides the other controls. To stop movement of the seat, press and release the STOP button. Press the button again to reactivate the seat controls.
A Seat front (raise/lower)
B Forward - rearward
C Seat rear (raise/lower)
D Backrest tilt


WARNING! Do not adjust the seat while driving. The seat should be adjusted so that the brake pedal can be depressed fully. In addition, position the seat as far rearward as comfort and control allow. The seat rails on the floor must not be obstructed in any way when the seat is moved.


Driver's seat

Movement of the driver's seat can be STOPPED at any time by pressing any button on the seat's control panel.

WARNING! The driver's seat is operable with the ignition OFF.
Therefore, children should never be left unattended in the car.



Programming the memory


Three seat positions can be programmed. To program a seat position:
1. Adjust the seat to the desired position.
2. Depress the MEM button.
3. Press button 1 to program the current position of the seat.
Buttons 2 and 3 can be programmed in the same way for two additional seat positions. To move the seat to a programmed position, depress button 1, 2 or 3 until the seat stops. If the button is released before the seat has the reached the programmed position, it will stop as a safety precaution.
