Privacy locking*

Privacy locking is intended for when the car is

left for service, with a hotel parking valet or

similar. The glovebox is then locked and the

tailgate lock is disconnected from the central

locking - the tailgate cannot be opened with

either the central locking button in the front

doors or the remote control key (p. 159).

Active locks for remote control key with key

blade.

G017870

Active locks for remote control key, without key

blade and privacy locking activated.

This means that the remote control key with-

out key blade can only be used to activate/

deactivate the alarm (p. 182), to open the

doors and to drive the car.
The remote control key without key blade can

then be handed over to the service or hotel

staff - the loose key blade is retained by the

car owner.

Do not forget to pull out the cargo cover

(p. 156)) over the cargo area before closing

the tailgate.

Activate/deactivate

Activating privacy locking.

To activate privacy locking:

Insert the key blade in the glovebox lock

cylinder.
Turn the key blade 180 degrees clock-

wise.
Pull out the key blade. The combined

instrument panel's information display

shows a message at the same time.

The glovebox is then locked and the tailgate

can no longer be unlocked with the remote

control key or the central locking button.

Turn the remote control key over with the

buttons facing up, this is to avoid the bat-

teries falling out when it is opened.

Avoid touching new batteries and their

contact surfaces with your fingers as this

may impair their function.

Battery replacement

Closely study how the battery/batteries

are secured on the inside of the cover,

with regard to their (+) and (–) sides.

Remote control key (one battery)
1. Carefully prize out the battery.
2. Install a new one with the (+) side down.

Remote control key with PCC* (two
batteries)
1. Carefully prize out the batteries.
2. First install one new one with the (+)side

up.

3. Position the white plastic tab in between

and finally install a second new battery

with the (+) side down.

Battery type
Use batteries with the designation

CR2430, 3V - one in the remote control key,

two in the remote control key with PCC.

Volvo recommends that the batteries to be

used in the remote control key/PCC fulfil

UN Manual of Test and Criteria, Part III,

sub-section 38.3. Batteries fitted in the

factory or replaced by an authorised Volvo

workshop fulfil the above criteria.

Assembly
1. Press the remote control key together.
2. Hold the remote control key with the slot

pointed up and lower the key blade into

its slot.

3. Lightly press the key blade. You should

hear a "click" when the key blade is

locked in.

Make sure that exhausted batteries are

disposed of in a manner which is kind to

the environment.

Keyless drive*

Cars equipped with Keyless Drive have a star-

ting and locking system that can be operated

keylessly.

With the keyless starting and locking system

the car can be started, locked and unlocked
without the remote control key (p. 159)

inserted in the ignition switch. It is enough to

have the remote control key with you in a

pocket. The system makes it easier and more

convenient to e.g. open the car when your

hands are full.
Both of the remote control keys included with

the car have Keyless functionality. It is possi-

ble to order more remote control keys.
The car's electrical system can be set to

three different levels - key position 0, I and II

(p. 81) - with the remote control key.

Keyless Drive* - remote control key

range

In order to unlock the doors or tailgate auto-

matically without pressing a button on the
remote control key

, a remote control key

must be within approx. 1.5 metres from the

car's door handle or tailgate.

The person who wishes to lock or unlock a

door must have the remote control key with

him or her. It is not possible to lock or unlock

a door if the remote control key is on the

opposite side of the car.

The red rings in the above figure indicate the

range covered by the system's antennas.
If all remote control keys are removed from

the car when the engine is running or key

position I or II (p. 81) is active, and if all doors

are closed, then a warning message is shown

in the information display in the combined

instrument panel and an audio reminder sig-

nal sounds at the same time.
When the remote control key has been

returned to the car, the warning message

goes off and the audible reminder ceases

once either/or:

•

a door has been opened and closed

•

the remote control key has been inserted

in the ignition switch

•

The OK button has been pressed.

•

Keyless drive* - secure handling of

the remote control key

It is important to handle the car's remote con-

trol keys with great care.

If one of the remote control keys

has been

left in the car then the Keyless functionality is

deactivated in case the car is e.g. locked with

the other remote control key that belongs to

the car. This prevents unauthorised entry.
The next time the car is unlocked with the

other remote control key the forgotten remote

control key is reactivated again.

Avoid leaving the remote control key with

PCC behind in the car. If someone breaks

into your car and takes the remote control

key, it will e.g. be possible to start the car

by pressing the remote control key in the

ignition switch and then pressing the

START/STOP ENGINE button.

the doors and a rubberised button next to the

tailgate's rubberised pressure plate for lock-

ing/unlocking.

The touch-sensitive area on the outer door han-

dles and the rubberised button next to the tail-

Lock the doors and the tailgate with one long

press on any of the door handles' touch-sen-

gate's two rubberised buttons - the lock indi-

cator (p. 161) in the windscreen confirms that

locking has been completed by starting to

flash.

All doors and the tailgate must be closed

before the car can be locked - otherwise the

car is not locked.

In cars with automatic gearbox selectors,

the gear selector must be set to the P

position; otherwise the car can be neither

locked nor alarmed.

Alarm

The alarm is a device that warns in the event

of e.g. a break-in in the car.

Activated alarm is triggered if:

•

a door, the bonnet or the tailgate is

opened

•

a movement is detected in the passenger

compartment (if fitted with a movement

detector*)

•

the car is raised or towed away (if fitted

with a tilt detector*)

•

the battery's cable is disconnected

•

the siren is disconnected.

If there is a fault in the alarm system then the

information display in the combined instru-

ment panel shows a message. In which case,

contact a workshop - an authorised Volvo

workshop is recommended.

Reduced alarm level (p. 184).

The movement sensors trigger an alarm in

the event of movement in the passenger

compartment - air currents are also regis-

tered. For this reason the alarm is trig-

gered if the car is left with a window or the

sunroof open or if the passenger compart-

ment heater is used.
To avoid this: Close the window/sunroof

when leaving the car. If the car's inte-

grated passenger compartment heater (or

a portable electric heater) shall be used -

direct the airflow from the air vents so that

they are not pointing upwards in the pas-

senger compartment. Alternatively,

reduced alarm level can be used, see
