Key card

You can lock and unlock the vehicle by placing the key card on the driver's door handle.

The key card starts the vehicle when it is placed on the key reader located between the two front seats. When you start using the pedals, you can remove the card from the key reader.

If the vehicle is stationary without a card on the key reader for a while, you will need to put the card back on the reader for the vehicle to reactivate driving mode.

Warning

The vehicle's use of Bluetooth, UWB^[1] and NFC^[2] signals may cause disturbances in other devices at certain distances.

Important

Do not place cards with NFC, such as key cards or electronic payment cards, between the wireless charger and the device when using the charging function. This could damage them.

Note

The key reader and wireless charger are located in the same place. This means that if you have any type of vehicle key on the key reader, you have to remove it to be able to wirelessly charge a phone.

Tip

Key card as backup access

If your vehicle is unresponsive when you try to unlock it using a distance-capable key, try unlocking the driver door with your key card. The key card is designed specifically to also act as a backup in this kind of situation. You will be able to get to any belongings inside even if the other doors don’t work. If your vehicle is unresponsive, contact Volvo support.

Keep in mind that if the vehicle battery is discharged, you won't be able to open the doors.
