Remote key

The remote key is used to lock/unlock the vehi-
cle and must be in the passenger compartment
in order to start the engine.

The standard remote key (left) and the Key Tag (right)

In models with the standard Passive Start system,
the remote key only needs to be in the front sec-
tion of the passenger compartment or in the tun-
nel console cup holders in order to start the
engine.

The keyless Passive Entry system for locking/
unlocking the vehicle is available as an option.
This system has a range of approximately 5 feet
(1.5 meters) from the sides of the vehicle or
approximately 3 feet (1 meter) from the tailgate.
With this system, a remote key can be anywhere
in the vehicle.

Each of the remote keys provided with the vehicle
can be linked to a driver profile containing unique
personal settings that will be applied when that
particular key is used. See also the article "Driver
profile" for additional information.

NOTE

Avoid placing the remote key closer than
approx. (4-6 in.) (10-15 cm) to any metallic
objects or electronic devices such as cell
phones, tablets, laptops or chargers.

If interference persists, unlock the vehicle with
the detachable key blade and place the remote
key in the backup key reader in the tunnel con-
sole cup holder to disarm the alarm.

WARNING

Always remove the remote key from the pas-
senger compartment when leaving the vehicle
and ensure that the ignition in mode 0, espe-
cially if there are children in the vehicle.

Key Tag

In addition to the two remote keys provided, a
smaller third key, called a Key Tag, is also provi-
ded for vehicles equipped with the optional
Passive Entry system.

This key functions in the same way as a standard
remote key but does not have a detachable key
blade and its battery cannot be replaced; a new
Key Tag has to be ordered.

Ordering new keys

Two remote keys are provided with the vehicle (a
Key Tag

2

 is also included for vehicles equipped

with the optional Passive Entry system). Addi-
tional keys (a total of 12) can be ordered and
used with the vehicle.

2

The Key Tag is also referred to as a Sport key. This key is designed to be waterproof to a depth of approximately 30 ft (10 meters) for up to 60 minutes, making it suitable for use in activities in and around water.

Red Key

*

The Red Key (also referred to as a restricted
key) makes it possible to limit several of the vehi-
cle's functions to help ensure that it is operated
safely, for instance if the vehicle is used by a
young driver.

A Red Key makes it possible to limit the vehicle's
maximum speed, add speed reminders and limit
the audio system's volume. Several of the vehi-
cle's safety systems will also always be active.
Otherwise, this key functions in the same way as
a standard remote key.

One or more Red Keys can be ordered from a
Volvo retailer after the vehicle has been pur-
chased. A total of 11 keys can be programmed
and used for the same vehicle, one of which has
to be a standard remote key.

Programming the tailgate's maximum
opening angle

The tailgate's maximum opening angle can be
programmed, for example, if the tailgate has to be
opened in a garage with a low ceiling.

Programming the opening angle:

–

Open the tailgate manually to the desired
angle and press and hold the closing button
on the tailgate's lower edge for at least 3
seconds. Release the tailgate.
> Two audible signals will sound to indicate

that the selected opening angle has been
stored.

Erasing tailgate programming

–

Open the tailgate manually to its highest
position and press and hold the closing but-
ton on the tailgate's lower edge for at least 3
seconds. Release the tailgate.
> Two audible signals will sound to indicate

that the programmed opening angle has
been erased.

NOTE

If the tailgate has been opened and closed
continuously too long, the automatic function
will be deactivated to avoid overloading the
electrical system. The automatic function can
be used again after approximately 2 minutes.

If the vehicle's battery has been discharged or
disconnected, or if the tailgate has been open
for more than 24 hours, the tailgate must be
opened and closed once manually to reset
the system.

Pinch protection

If the tailgate is obstructed when being opened/
closed, a pinch protection mechanism is acti-
vated.

While opening: the tailgate will stop moving
and an audible signal will sound.

•

While closing: the tailgate will stop and
return to the currently programmed maximum
opening position. An audible signal will
sound.

WARNING

Pay attention to the risk of injury when open-
ing/ closing the tailgate. Before opening/
closing: Make sure that no one is in the path
of the tailgate as an injury could occur.
