Unlocking using the key blade
Note
When the door is unlocked using the detachable key blade and then opened, the alarm will be triggered. The alarm must be deactivated manually – it can be a good idea to read the section about this before opening the vehicle.
Pull the front left-hand door handle to its end position to access the lock cylinder.
Put the key in the lock cylinder.
Turn the key clockwise 45 degrees so that the key blade is pointing straight rearward.
Turn the key blade back 45 degrees to its original position. Remove the key from the lock cylinder and release the handle so that it returns to its original position against the vehicle.
The door can be opened using the handle.
Locking using the key blade
The front left door can also be locked manually using the detachable key blade.
The other doors have lock mechanisms in the side of the door that must be pushed in using the key blade. The door will then be locked mechanically and cannot be opened from the outside.
The doors can still be opened from inside.
Remove the detachable key blade from the key.
Insert the key blade into the opening for the lock mechanism.
Push in the key until it stops, about 12 mm (0.5 inch).
 | The door can be opened from both the outside and the inside. |
 | The door cannot be opened from the outside. To return to position A, open the door using the inside door handle. |
Note
- The door's lock controls only lock that specific door, not all doors simultaneously.
- A manually locked rear door with an activated child lock cannot be opened from either the outside or the inside. It can be unlocked using the key buttons, central locking button, keyless locking system* or through the Volvo Cars app.
