NOTE

Avoid storing the remote key near metal
objects or electronic devices, e.g. cell
phones, tablets, laptops or chargers – pref-
erably no closer than 10-15 cm (4-6 in.).

If you experience interference, use the remote
key's detachable blade to unlock the vehicle
and then place the remote key in the backup
reader in the tunnel console cup holder to dis-
arm the alarm and start the vehicle.

NOTE

When the remote control key is placed in
the cup holder, make sure that no other
vehicle keys, metal objects or electronic
devices (e.g. cell phones, tablets, laptops
or chargers) are found in the cup holder.
Multiple vehicle keys close to each other in
the cup holder can disrupt their functional-
ity.

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.

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.
