There is a button on the key to unlock the boot lid only.
Press the key’s button.
- The boot lid is unlocked but remains closed.
- The side doors are still locked and the alarm is armed.(Option/accessory.) The lock and alarm indicator on the instrument panel extinguishes in order to show that the entire car is not locked.
- You can open the boot lid by gripping the rubberised pressure plate underneath its lower edge.
- If the boot lid is not opened within 2 minutes then it is relocked and the alarm is re-armed.
Detachable key blade
The standard key contains a detachable key blade in metal with several different functions.
The key blade’s unique code is provided by authorised Volvo workshops, which are recommended when ordering new key blades.
The key blade’s application areas
Using the key’s detachable key blade, the following are possible:
- the left-hand front door can be opened manually if central locking cannot be activated by pressing a button
- all doors are emergency-locked
- the rear doors’ mechanical child lock can be activated and deactivated.
If the key blade has been used to unlock the car, the alarm can be disarmed and the car started by placing the key in the back-up reader in the tunnel console’s cup holder.
The Key Tag accessory does not have a detachable key blade.
Taking out the key blade
Hold the key so that its front with the Volvo logotype is facing up, and with the keyring bracket facing you.
There is a catch on the left of the keyring bracket. If it is on the wrong side then the front and rear have been mixed up when they were assembled on an earlier occasion.
- Slide the catch by the keyring bracket to the side, and slide the front shell away from the bracket.
- The shell detaches and can be lifted off.
-
-
Refit the front shell in reverse order to how it was removed. Press in the shell until you hear a click, and then slide it the last few millimetres to its original position.
-
A further click will indicate that the shell is properly positioned and securely attached.
-
There must be no gaps remaining.
Locking and unlocking with the detachable key blade
The detachable key blade can be used to unlock one of the car’s doors from the outside – such as if the battery in the key is discharged.
Unlocking with the key blade
Note
When the door is unlocked using the key blade and is then opened, the alarm is triggered. The alarm must be deactivated manually – it may be a good idea to read that section before opening the car.
-
Pull out the front door’s handle on the left-hand side of the car to its end position.
-
- Turn clockwise 45 degrees so that the key is pointing straight back.
-
Turn the key back 45 degrees to its starting position and remove it.
- The door can be opened using the handle.
Locking with the key blade
The left-hand front door can be locked using the detachable key blade.
Other doors have a lock reset on the end face that must be pressed in using the key blade. Then they are mechanically locked against opening from the outside, but can be opened from the inside.
- Remove the detachable key blade from the key with buttons.
- Insert the key blade in the hole for lock reset.
- Press in the key until it bottoms – approximately 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. |
Note
- A door’s lock reset only locks that particular door – not all doors simultaneously.
- A manually locked rear door with enabled child lock cannot be opened from either insider or outside. Unlocking is possible using the buttons on the key, the central locking button, the keyless locking system (Option/accessory.) or by using the Volvo Cars app.
In order for the key to work properly, it needs to be within a certain distance from the car.
Physical barriers between the key and the car may have an adverse effect on the range or completely block the signal.
Using the key’s buttons
The key’s functions that are controlled by pressing a button have a range of 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
For keyless use, a key must be within a distance of approx. 1 to 1.5 metres (3 to 5 feet) from the car’s doors or boot lid.
Note
The key functions may be disrupted by surrounding radio waves, buildings, topographical conditions, etc. The car can always be locked/unlocked with the key blade.
Type approval for the remote control key system
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.
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 |
3 | In the upper front section of the right-hand rear door |
4 | In the cargo area |
Warning
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.
Ignition positions
The car’s electrical system can be set in different levels/positions and in this way make the different functions available.
In order to facilitate the use of a limited number of functions with the engine switched off, the car’s electrical system can be set in three different levels – 0, I and II. These levels are described with the denomination “ignition position” throughout the owner’s manual.
The following table shows the functions available in each ignition position/level:
Level | Functions |
0 | - Odometer, clock and temperature gauge are illuminated.(Also activated when the door is opened)
- Power (Option/accessory.)seats can be adjusted.
- The centre display is started and can be used.(Also activated when the door is opened.)
- The infotainment system can be used.(Also activated when the door is opened.)
In this mode, the functions are controlled by time and are switched off automatically after a short while. |
I | - Panoramic roof, power windows, 12V power socket in the passenger compartment, Bluetooth, navigation, phone, ventilation fan and windscreen wipers can be used.
- Power seats can be adjusted.
- 12 V power sockets (Option/accessory.)in the cargo area can be used.
Power is taken from the battery in this ignition position. |
II | - The headlamps come on.
- Warning/indicator lamps illuminate for 5 seconds.
- Several other systems are activated. However, heating in seat cushions and the rear window can only be activated after the car has been started.
This ignition position consumes a lot of current from the battery and should therefore be avoided! |
Selecting ignition mode
The car’s electrical system can be set in different levels/positions and in this way make the different functions available.
Selecting ignition position
- Ignition position 0 – Unlock the car and store the key inside the car.
Note
To reach level I or II without starting the engine – do not depress the brake pedal when these ignition positions are to be selected.
- Ignition position I – Turn the start knob clockwise and release it. The control automatically returns to its starting position.
- Ignition position II – Turn the start knob clockwise and hold it in position for approx. 5 seconds. Then release the knob, which automatically returns to its starting position.
- Back to ignition position 0 – To return to ignition position 0 from position I and II – Turn the start knob clockwise and release. The control automatically returns to its starting position.
