Loading the trunk with the power
retractable hard top down

When the power retractable hard top is down,
it is folded in the trunk. Using the button shown
in the illustration above, the folded power
retractable hard top can be moved up or down
slightly to facilitate loading or unloading small
objects.

NOTE

This movement is part of the normal power
retractable hard top operation, which
means that messages pertaining to the
power retractable hard top’s operation (see
page 102) also apply to the this function.

WARNING

Anyone near the vehicle should be well clear
of the power retractable hard top's moving
parts before it is operated.

Any objects that impede the movement
of the power retractable hard top may
damage the top or its mechanism.

•

When the power retractable hard top
has been raised for loading the trunk, or
if its movement has been interrupted by
pressing the button twice, the trunk
should not be closed. Doing so can
damage the system or cause paint
damage.

To raise the level of the folded power
retractable hard top:

1.

Open the trunk.

2.

Press the button on the right side of the
trunk opening.

NOTE

There may be a delay of several seconds
before the folded power retractable hard
top begins to move.

Movement of the top can be stopped by
pressing the button again.

3.

The folded power retractable hard top will
raise slightly. If an audible signal sounds
during this operation, check the informa-
tion display in the center instrument panel
for messages.

Carrying long loads (ski hatch)

G021037

Ski hatch

The center section of the rear seat backrest
can be opened to create space for carrying
long, light objects (max. length 6.5 ft/2 meters,
max. weight 55 lbs/25 kg). To do so, the center
section (cushion) of the rear seat backrest must
be removed, the tire repair kit (if the vehicle is
so equipped) must be removed and stowed in
the trunk, and the plastic hatch in the trunk
must be opened.

Removing the center backrest cushion

Pull the strap at the upper edge of the cushion,
pull it forward, and lift it out.

Opening the plastic hatch

From the trunk, press the catches in the two
holes in the hatch toward each other to release
the hatch, and fold it down.

NOTE

If the vehicle is equipped with the optional
ski bag, the bag’s zipper must be opened
from the passenger’s compartment in order
to insert objects through the ski hatch.

Replacing the backrest cushion

Begin by guiding the lower section of the cush-
ion into place. Then press the upper section of
the cushion into place.

NOTE

This cushion is locked in place when the
vehicle is locked with the remote control.

Securing long objects

Long objects should be secured with one of the
rear seat belts.

Wrap the belt once around the object and lock
the belt in the retractor as usual. If the vehicle
is equipped with the optional ski bag, pass the
seat belt through the bag’s handle before fas-
tening the seat belt.

Remote keys

Two remote keys that also function as ignition
keys are provided with your car. The remote
keys contain detachable metal key blades for
manually locking or unlocking the driver's door
and the glove compartment.

USA – FCC ID: LTQVO315TX

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC
rules. Operation is subject to the following con-
ditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device must accept
any interference received, including interfer-
ence that may cause undesired operation.

Canada – IC: 3659AVO315TX

Operation is subject to the following condi-
tions: (1) this device may not cause interfer-
ence, and (2) this device must accept any inter-

Loss of a remote key

If either of the remote keys is lost, the other
must be taken with the car to a Volvo retailer.
As an anti-theft measure, the code of the lost
remote key must be erased from the system.

Each key blade has a unique code, which is
used if new key blades are required. A maxi-
mum of six remote keys/key blades can be
programmed and used for one car.

Immobilizer (start inhibitor)

Each of the keys supplied with your car con-
tains a coded transponder. The code in the key
is transmitted to an antenna in the ignition
switch where it is compared to the code stored
in the start inhibitor module. The car will start
only with a properly coded key. If you misplace
a key, take the other keys to an authorized
Volvo retailer for reprogramming as an antitheft
measure.

CAUTION

Never use force on the narrow section of the
remote key – this is where the transponder
is located. The car cannot be started if the
transponder is damaged.

G020032

Begin by removing the key blade from the
remote key (see page 120).

The first stages of opening the power
retractable hard top offer temporary access
to the contents of the trunk. Therefore,
before activating valet locking, the power
retractable hard top must be up and the
trunk divider (see page 101) must be open.
This makes it impossible to operate the
power retractable hard top.

Insert the key in the glove compartment
lock.

the glove compartment and to lock points
C, D, E, and F and disconnect these points
from the central locking system (a mes-

remote key in your possession and lock
any door, the position of the driver's seat
will be stored in the seat's memory.

•

The next time a door is opened by a person
with the same remote key in his/her pos-
session, the driver's seat will automatically
move to the position that it was in when the
door was most recently locked.

NOTE

If several people carrying keyless drive
remote keys approach the vehicle at the
same time, the driver's seat will assume the
position it was in for the person who opens
a door first.

Keyless drive information messages

If anyone leaves the vehicle with the only key-
less drive remote key in his or her possession
while the ignition is switched on, a message will
be shown in the information display and an
audible signal will sound.

NOTE

This message will only be displayed if the
start control is in position I or II.

The message will be erased from the display
and the audible signal will stop when the
remote key has been returned to the vehicle
and one of the following has occurred:

•

A door has been opened and closed

•

The start control has been turned to posi-
tion 0
