Key card

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

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

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

Note

The card reader and wireless charger are located in the same place. Therefore, if you have any kind of car key on the card reader, you have to remove it to be able to wirelessly charge a phone.

Important

Do not place cards with NFC^[1], such as key cards or electronic payment cards, between the wireless charger and the device when using the charging function. This could damage them.

Warning

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

Tip

Key card as backup access

If your car is unresponsive when you try to unlock it with 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 car is unresponsive, contact Volvo support.

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