Volvo Key Fob Troubleshooting Volvo drivers are enthralled by the remote control capabilities of their key fob. They can lock and unlock their car or start the motor and even locate it using an app for smartphones. Put the key fob face up on a clean surface. Find the button that releases it, wedge a coin between the cover and the fob and then pull it up with care. Unlocking the Doors Volvo's remote key fobs can unlock the doors, tailgate and the fuel filler flap of your car with the touch of one button. They also can turn on the ignition, turn off the alarm, and even operate your sunroof when it's installed. With these features you won't have to look for your keys or get locked out of your car. If you're a new Volvo model from our dealership, then you may be unaware of some of its key fob's hidden features. One of these features is a manual lock/unlock button that can be pressed in the event the battery on your key fob goes out. Hold your key fob with Volvo logo in the front to press the manual lock/unlock. Find the black button near the edge of your key fob, and gently press it. This will open a cover that hides the key blade that is manual. The cover can be turned counterclockwise by using a flathead or coin. The Engine is Ready to Start Modern Volvo key fobs offer the convenience and performance that is unparalleled by manual keys. However, just like any battery-powered electronic device key fobs may be depleted of its charge or cease functioning over time. If you've noticed that your key fob has become less responsive when you press the lock or unlock buttons, that's a good sign that it's in need of a new battery. You can enable this feature with the key fob if the vehicle has a dealer-installed Engine Remote Start. The vehicle will heat or cool at the same temperature that it was set to when it was parked. It can last for up to 15 minutes. Take off the back cover of the key fob with your fingernail. A button should be located beneath the cover on an angle near the body's edge. Slide it down and to the right. The cover will come loose, and then slide off to reveal the manual blade! If you're still having trouble finding the button, you can search the newly exposed manual key access to determine whether there is a hidden slot or lever. Close the Windows Volvo key fobs have a hidden feature that allows you to immediately roll down all windows. This is a great feature when trying to squeeze into parking spaces that are tight or simply need fresh air while driving. Press and hold the unlocking button on your Volvo remote control for four seconds. This will lower the windows as well as the sunroof, if you have one. After you've finished using the vehicle, you can shut all the windows by pressing the lock key for four seconds. You can also activate the panic alarm inside your car using the key fob. This will emit an alarm that is loud and attention-grabbing which can deter thieves and help you get home safely after a long night out. This feature is great for those who reside in a hazardous area or you want to ensure the safety of your family while away from home. Opening the Tailgate Volvo's key fob is packed with many useful features. These are perfect for when you're busy shopping for shopping or helping your kids pack their sports equipment after practice. For example, if you have the available Hands-Free Power Liftgate with logo projection and programmable height (if equipped) you can open it using the key fob. It is possible to open the liftgate by pressing the button, and then close it with the same button. When you're ready to start your car then use the key fob to press the START button (and don't fret about your battery dying or your car not starting since it has a backup mechanical key slot too). This is only one of the many helpful tricks to use with your new Volvo. Our Key Protection service can help reduce the damage caused by losing your Volvo keys. This service covers the cost of replacing or repairing should you lose your Volvo fob. It also covers the labor costs to get you back on the road. Switching off the Alarm Modern key fobs are much more practical than a mechanical car key. However, they're not able to work perfectly for long, and their batteries eventually fail. You can program your key fob at home if you are in a rush or don't have the time to go to the store. Find a smooth surface and lay out your key fob, battery and other keys. Find volvo spare key in the lower left corner of the key fob and move it to the right. The cover should loosen and fall off and reveal the mechanical key blade beneath it. You can unlock all doors and the rear gate by pressing the unlock button on the fob's keypad twice. By pressing the lock button for 2 seconds, you can also close the windows and shut the sunroof when they're fitted. Reconnect the battery, and the alarm should cease. If it doesn't, the owners manual should have a way to reset the alarm.
