WARNING

Make sure the battery is positioned cor-

key will not be used for a prolonged period

of time, remove the battery to avoid battery

leakage and damage. Wear protective

gloves when handling damaged batteries,

as batteries that are damaged or leaking

can cause corrosive damage in contact

with the skin.

•

Keep batteries out of the reach of chil-
dren.

•

Do not leave batteries lying out where
they could be swallowed by children or
pets.

•

Never disassemble, short-circuit or
place a battery into open fire.

•

Do not charge non-rechargeable bat-
teries, as this could cause an explosion.

Check the remote key for damage before

using it. If any damage is detected, e.g. if

the battery cover cannot be closed prop-

erly, do not use the product. Keep defec-

tive products out of the reach of children.

CAUTION

Be sure to dispose of end-of-life batteries
in a way that protects the environment.

Care Key – restricted remote key

A Care Key enables the vehicle owner to set a
maximum speed limit for the vehicle. This
limit is intended to promote safe use of the
vehicle, e.g. when it is loaned out.

A maximum vehicle speed can be defined for a
Care Key. Otherwise, the Red Key functions in
the same way as a standard remote key.

This restriction is intended to help reduce the
risk of accidents and help the driver feel more
secure when handing over the vehicle to e.g. a
young driver, parking attendant or workshop.

Ordering a Care Key

One or more Care Key can be ordered from a
Volvo retailer. A total of twelve keys can be
programmed and used for the same vehicle.
Up to ten may be restricted keys, but at least
two must be standard remote keys.

Care Key limitations

The key is linked to a specific Care Key driver
profile, and when it is active the key's settings
cannot be changed. It is also not possible to
switch to another driver profile, as this
requires a regular remote key.

The driver profile is activated when the vehicle
is unlocked using a Care Key without a regular
remote key nearby.

NOTE

If the vehicle changes owners, the vehicle
must be locked and then unlocked for a
new driver profile to be activated.

NOTE

It is important that only one pressure-sen-

handle is grasped at the same time as the
lock area is pressed, there is a risk that
double commands may be sent. This may
cause the requested action (locking/
unlocking) to be delayed or not performed
at all.

The tailgate handle has a rubberized pressure
plate that can only be used for unlocking.

All of the doors have to be closed before the
vehicle can be locked. However, the tailgate
can be open when a door handle is used for
locking.

Touch the marked area on the outside of
one of the door handles after the door is
closed. Or press the 

 button on the

lower edge of the tailgate before it is
closed.
> The lock indicator light on the dash-

board will flash to confirm that the vehi-
cle is locked.

To close all door windows at the same time -
place your finger on the pressure-sensitive
indentation on the outside of the door handle
and hold it there until the side windows have
closed.

Locking when the tailgate is open

If the vehicle is locked and the tailgate is still
open, make sure that the remote key is not left
in the cargo compartment when the tailgate is
closed.

NOTE

If the key is detected in the vehicle, the tail-
gate will not lock when it is closed.

To unlock, grasp a door handle or lightly
press the rubberized button on the under-
side of the tailgate handle.

board will stop flashing to confirm that
the vehicle is unlocked.

The rubberized button on the tailgate can only be

used for unlocking.

Automatic relocking

If none of the doors or tailgate are opened
within two minutes after being unlocked, they
will automatically relock. This function reduces
the risk of inadvertently leaving the vehicle
unlocked.
