Red Key - restricted remote control
key

*

A Red Key is a key that makes it possible to
set restrictions for some of the car's proper-
ties, e.g. the car's maximum speed and the
loudspeaker system's maximum volume. A key
for any car owner who wants their car to be
driven responsibly even when someone else is
driving it.

Interference

Remote control key functions for keyless star-
ting and keyless locking and unlocking

*

 can be

disrupted by electromagnetic fields and
screening.

NOTE

Avoid storing the remote control key close
to metal objects or electronic apparatus,
e.g. mobile phones, tablets, laptops or
chargers - preferably no closer than
10-15 cm (4-6 inches).

If there is still interference - use the remote
control key's detachable key blade to unlock
and then place the key in the backup reader in
the cup holder to disarm the car and allow the
car to be started.

NOTE

When the remote control key is placed in
the cup holder, make sure that no other car
keys, metal objects or electronic apparatus
(e.g. mobile phones, tablets, laptops or
chargers) are in the cup holder. Several car
keys close to each other in the cup holder
can cause interference with each other.

Remote control key range

In order for the remote control key to work
properly it needs to be within a certain dis-
tance from the car.

For manual use

The remote control key's functions for e.g.
locking/unlocking that are activated by press-
ing on 

 or 

 have a range that extends

approx. 20 metres (65 feet) from the car.

If the car does not verify a button being
pressed - move closer and try again.

For keyless

*

 use

The marked area in the illustration shows areas cov-

ered by the system's antennas.

For keyless use, a remote control key or the
button-less key (Key Tag) must be within a
semicircular area with a radius of approx.

1.5 metres (5 feet) on both long sides and
approx. 1 metre (3 feet) from the boot lid.

NOTE

The remote control key functions may be
disrupted by surrounding radio waves,
buildings, topographical conditions, etc.
The car can always be locked/unlocked
with the key blade.

Ordering more remote control keys

The car is supplied with two remote control
keys. A button-less key is supplied if the car
is equipped with keyless locking and unlock-
ing

*

. Additional keys can be ordered.

A total of twelve keys can be programmed and
used for one single car. If additional keys are
ordered, additional driver profiles are added -
one per new remote control key. This also
applies for the key tag.

Loss of a remote control key

If you lose a remote control key then a new
one can be ordered at a workshop - an author-
ised Volvo workshop is recommended. The
remaining remote control keys must be taken
to the workshop. The code of the missing key
must be erased from the system as a theft
prevention measure.

The current number of keys registered to the
car can be checked via driver profiles in the
centre display's top view, select

Red Key - restricted remote

control key

*

A Red Key makes it possible for the car's
owner to set limitations for certain of the
car's properties. The limitations are intended
to encourage the car to be driven in a safe
manner, e.g. when being loaned out.

For a Red Key, it is possible to define the car's
maximum speed, set speed reminders and
determine the loudspeaker system's maxi-
mum volume. In addition, some of the car's
driver support systems will always be active.
Other functions of the key are the same as
those of a normal remote control key.

The restrictions are intended to act as meas-
ures to reduce the risk of accidents, thereby
making it feel safer to hand over the car to e.g.
young drivers, valet parking or a workshop.

Driver profile for Red Key

A Red Key is connected to a special Red Key
driver profile, and when it is active, the key's
settings cannot be changed. It is not possible
to change to another driver profile either; this
requires a normal remote control key.

The Red Key driver profile is activated when
the car is unlocked with a Red Key without a
normal remote control key in the vicinity.

NOTE

In the event of a change of driver, the car
must be locked and unlocked in order to
activate a new driver profile.

Ordering Red Key

One or more Red Key can be ordered from a
Volvo dealer. A total of eleven keys with
restrictions can be programmed and used for
a single car - at least one must be a normal
remote control key.

in the event of a loss of power or if the key's
battery has become discharged.

The left-hand front door can be locked with its
lock cylinder and the detachable key blade.

Other doors have no lock cylinders and
instead have a lock switch on the end of each
door which must be depressed using the key
blade - they are then mechanically locked/
blocked to prevent them being opened from
outside.

The doors can still be opened from the inside.

Manual locking of the door. Not to be mixed up with

the child safety locks.

–

Remove the detachable key blade from
the remote control key. Insert the key
blade in the hole for lock reset and press
the key in until it bottoms, approx. 12 mm
(0.5 inches).

The door can be opened from both the
outside and the inside.
The door is blocked against opening from
the outside. To return to position A, the
inner door handle must be opened.

The doors can also be unlocked with the
unlock button on the remote control key or
with the central locking button on the driver's
door.

NOTE

•

A door's lock reset only locks that par-
ticular door - not all doors simultane-
ously.

•

A manually locked rear door with acti-
vated manual or electric child safety
locks cannot be opened from either the
outside or the inside. A rear door that is
locked in this way can only be
unlocked with the remote control key
or central locking button.
