Care Key - restricted remote control key
For a Care Key, you can set your car's maximum speed. Other functions of the key are the same as those of a normal remote control key.
The limits are intended to act as measures to reduce the risk of accidents, thereby making it feel safer to hand over the car to e.g. young drivers, valet parking or a workshop.
Ordering Care Key
One or more Care Key can be ordered from a Volvo dealer. A total of eleven keys with restrictions can be programmed and used for a single car - at least one must be a normal remote control key.
Using Care Key
The key is linked to a special Care Key driver profile, and when it is active, the key's settings cannot be changed. It is not possible to change to another driver profile either; this requires a normal remote control key.
The driver profile is activated when the car is unlocked with a Care Key without a normal remote control key in the vicinity. Alternatively, the Care Key profile can be activated before the normal remote control key is removed.
To activate a normal driver profile, the car must be unlocked using a key without limits.
Indication in driver display
The use of Care Key is indicated by a symbol in the driver display, as well as a red bar in the speedometer, which also indicates the speed limitation.
