Locking and unlocking with the remote control key

For the lock sequence to be activated, the driver door must be closed^[1]. If any of the other doors or the tailgate are open, these are locked and alarmed^* only when they are closed. The alarm's movement detectors^* are activated when all the doors and the tailgate are closed and locked.

Note

Be aware of the risk of locking the remote control key in the car.

• A remote control key or key tag left in the car will be deactivated when the car is locked and the alarm is armed using another valid key. The "Double lock" function is also deactivated. The key left behind is reactivated when the car is unlocked.
• A Red Key left in the car will be deactivated even when the car is locked using Volvo On Call, and reactivated when the car is unlocked using Volvo On Call or with another valid key.

Locking when the tailgate is open

Note

If the car has been locked while the tailgate is open, be careful not to leave the remote control key in the cargo area when the tailgate is closed and the car is completely locked^[2].

If none of the doors or the tailgate is opened within 2 minutes of unlocking, they are locked automatically. This function prevents the car from being left unlocked unintentionally.

If it is not possible to lock or unlock with the remote control key, the battery may be discharged - in which case, lock or unlock the driver's door with the detachable key blade.
