In order to function correctly, the remote key
must be within a certain distance from the vehi-
cle.

Manual use

The remote key's functions for e.g. locking and
unlocking, which are activated by pressing

from the vehicle.

If the vehicle's locks do not react, move closer
and try again.

Keyless use

The shaded areas around the vehicle illustrate the range
of the system's antennas.

For keyless use, a remote key or the Key Tag
must be within the shaded areas shown in the
illustration, i.e. a semicircle with a radius of
approx. 1.5 meter (5 feet) along the sides of the
vehicle or approx. 1 meter (3 feet) from the tail-
gate.

be disrupted by ambient radio waves, build-
ings, topographical conditions, etc. The vehi-
cle can always be locked/unlocked using the
key blade.

If the remote key is removed from the
vehicle

If the remote key is removed from the
vehicle while the engine is running, the

Red Key - restricted remote key*

A Red Key makes it possible for the vehicle
owner to set limitations for certain vehicle prop-
erties. The limitations are intended to promote
safe use of the vehicle, e.g. when it is loaned
out.

For a Red Key, it is possible to define the vehi-
cle's maximum speed, set speed reminders and
limit the audio system's volume. Several of the
driver support systems will also always be active.
Otherwise, the Red Key functions in the same
way as a standard remote key.

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

These restrictions are 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. The
settings for a Red Key cannot be changed by its
user; a regular remote key is needed to change
settings.

NOTE

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 tail-
