Replacing the battery in the

remote control key

The battery in the remote control key needs
to be replaced when it has become dis-
charged.

NOTE

All batteries have a limited service life and
must eventually be replaced (does not
apply to Key Tag). The service life of the
battery varies depending on how often the
vehicle/key is used.

The battery for the remote control key should
be replaced if

•

the information symbol illuminates and the
message 

Car key battery low

 is shown in

the driver display

•

the locks repeatedly do not react to sig-
nals from the remote control key within
20 metres (65 feet) of the car.

NOTE

Always try moving closer to the car and
making another unlock attempt.

The battery in the button-less key

 (Key Tag)

cannot be replaced - a new key can be
ordered from an authorised Volvo workshop.

IMPORTANT

A discharged Key Tag must be handed
over to an authorised Volvo workshop. The
key must be deleted from the car since it is
still possible to use it to start the car via
back-up start.

Care Key - restricted remote

control key

A Care Key allows the car owner to set a limit
for the speed of the car. The limitation is
intended to encourage the car to be driven in
a safe manner such as when being loaned
out, for example.

For a Care Key, you can set your car's maxi-
mum speed. Other functions of the key are the
same as those of a normal remote control key.

The limits are intended to act as measures 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.

Ordering Care Key

One or more Care 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.

Limitations of Care Key

The key is linked to a special Care 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 driver profile is activated when the car is
unlocked with a Care 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.

Setting options

The following limitations are available to be
set:

•

speed interval: 50-180 km/h
(30-112 mph)
