Auxiliary heater (diesel)

In diesel-engined cars the auxiliary heater may
be required for achieving the correct tempera-
ture in the engine and passenger compartment
during cold weather.

The heater starts automatically when extra
heat is required when the engine is running.

The heater is switched off automatically when
the correct temperature is reached or when the
engine is switched off.

NOTE

The auxiliary heater cannot be switched on
or off manually but is only controlled by the
car's electronics.

When the auxiliary heater is active there may
be smoke from underneath the car, which is
perfectly normal.

Remote control key

The car is supplied with 2 remote control keys.

The remote control keys contain detachable
metal key blades for mechanical locking/
unlocking of the driver's door and glovebox.

The key blades' unique code is available at
authorised Volvo workshops, which are rec-
ommended for ordering new key blades.

A maximum of 6 remote control keys/key
blades can be programmed and used for one
single car.

Turn signal indication during locking/
unlocking

When the car is unlocked using the remote
control key or Keyless drive system, two short
flashes of the direction indicators serve to indi-
cate that unlocking was correctly performed.

For locking, the indication takes place with one
long flash and only if all locks have been
locked, after the doors and the boot lid have
been closed.

Personal preferences in the menu system can
be used to the deactivate indication via the
direction indicators. There will then be no visual
indication as to whether the lock status is cor-
rect, see page 83.

Loss of a remote control key

If you lose a remote control key, take the car
and the other remote control keys to a Volvo
workshop - an authorised Volvo workshop is
recommended. The code of the missing
remote control key must be erased from the
system as a theft prevention measure.

Immobiliser

The remote control keys are fitted with coded
chips. The code must be accepted by the
reader (receiver) in the ignition switch. The
engine can only be started if the correct remote
control key with the correct code is used.
