2023 Volvo Keyless locking and unlocking
Operating the boot lid with foot movement
The boot lid can be opened using a foot movement (Option/accessory.)under the rear bumper. The function makes things easier when your hands are full.
The sensor is located in the centre of the bumper.
One of the car’s keys must be within range behind the car, approx. 1 metre (3 feet), for activation. This also applies if the car is unlocked.
Opening the boot lid with foot movement
Kicking motion within the detector’s activation area.
Make one forward kicking motion in the sensor area under the rear bumper. Then take a step back. The bumper must not be touched.
- A short acoustic signal sounds when the boot lid is opened.
If several kicking motions are made without a key within range, the function is deactivated after a while.
Do not leave your foot positioned under the car during the kicking motion. The activation may then fail.
The boot lid is closed by pressing it down manually.
Make sure you keep the area around the foot movement detector clean. A build-up of dirt, ice or snow may disrupt its function.
Note
Pay attention to the possibility that the system may be activated in a car wash if the key is within range.
Antenna locations for the start and lock systems
An antenna for the keyless starting system and antennas for the keyless locking system (Option/accessory.) are built into the car.
Antenna locations:
| 1 | Under the cup holder in the front section of the tunnel console |
| 2 | In the upper front section of the left-hand rear door(Only in cars equipped with keyless locking and unlocking*.) |
| 3 | In the upper front section of the right-hand rear door(Only in cars equipped with keyless locking and unlocking*.) |
| 4 | In the cargo area |
People with an implanted pacemaker should keep it at a distance of at least 22 cm (9 inches) away from the antennas to prevent interference between the pacemaker and the key system.
Keyless locking and unlocking with touch-sensitive surfaces
With the keyless locking and unlocking function, there is no need to use the key’s buttons – the key just needs to be near the car. The car is locked or unlocked via a touch-sensitive surface on the door handle.
Touch-sensitive surfaces
Door handle
The outside of the door handles contains a recess for locking, while the inside contains a touch-sensitive surface for unlocking.
- Touch-sensitive recess for locking
-
Touch-sensitive surface for unlocking
It is important that only one touch-sensitive surface is activated at a time. Gripping the handle while touching the lock surface risks giving double commands. This means that the requested activity (locking/unlocking) will not be executed, or will be executed with a delay.
Boot lid handle
The boot lid handle has a rubberised pressure plate underneath that is only used for unlocking.
Be aware that the system may be activated in connection with car washing if the key is in range.
