Volvo Key Fob Troubleshooting Volvo drivers are enthralled by the remote control capabilities of their key fob. They can lock and unlock their car and start the engine, and even locate it via an app for smartphones. First, place the key fob on an uncluttered work surface with the logo facing upwards. Locate the button that lets you release it, insert a coin between the cover and the fob, and pull up carefully. Unlocking the Doors Volvo's remote keyfobs can unlock your car's doors, tailgate and fuel filler flap with the push of the button. They can also switch on the ignition, trigger the alarm, and operate the sunroof if it's fitted. With these features you'll never fumble for your keys or even lock yourself out of your car. You might not be aware of key fob functions that are hidden. You can make use of the lock/unlock option manually if your key fob battery is not working. Hold your key fob with Volvo logo in the front to press the manual lock/unlock. Find the black button which is near the edge of the key fob body and gently press it to open a cover which conceals a manual key blade. You will need a flathead screwdriver or coin to flip this cover counterclockwise, so the arrow is aligned with “open.” Beginning the Engine Modern Volvo key fobs offer an unbeatable level of convenience and functionality that is not available with traditional manual keys. But, as with any battery-powered electronic device the key fob may lose its charge or stop working after a certain period of time. If you notice that your key fob isn't as responsive when you hit the lock or unlock button, it could be time to replace its battery. If your vehicle comes with a dealer-installed Engine Remote Start accessory, you can also make use of the key fob in order to activate this feature. The car will then heat or cool to the same temperature it was at when parked, and it will run for up to 15 minutes. Take off the back cover of the key fob by using your fingernail. A button should be located under the cover at an angle near the edge of the body. Slide it down and to the right. The cover will fall loose and slide off leaving the manual key blade in! If you're unable to locate the button, take a look around the now-uncovered manual key access for a hidden lever or slot. Close the Windows One of the nefarious features that is not visible on Volvo key fobs is that you can roll down all of the windows in a matter of seconds with the fobs. This is helpful when you are trying to squeeze into tight parking spaces or just want to breathe fresh air while driving. To do this do this, press and hold down the unlock button on your Volvo remote for four seconds. This will lower all of the windows, and also the sunroof if it comes with one. After that, once you're done driving you can shut the doors by pressing the lock button a second time for four seconds. You can also use the key fob to activate your car's panic alarm. This will emit a loud, attention-grabbing blare that can scare off thieves and help you get home safely after a long night out. This feature is helpful should you live in a neighborhood that is prone to crime or want to protect your family while they are away. The opening of the Tailgate Volvo has loaded its key fob with many useful features. They are great when you're working on grocery shopping or helping your kids pack their sports gear after practice. For example, if you have the Hands-Free Power Liftgate with logo projection and adjustable height (if equipped) you can open it using the key fob. You can open the liftgate by pressing the button and then close it using the same button. When you're ready to start your car, use the key fob to push the START button (and don't fret about your battery failing or your car not starting since it has a backup key mechanical slot as well). This is only one of many useful trick to use with your new Volvo. Our Key Protection service can help you minimize the damage caused by losing your Volvo keys. This service covers the cost of replacing or repairing when you lose your Volvo fob. www.g28carkeys.co.uk covers labor costs to get you back on the road. Turning off the Alarm Modern key fobs are more convenient than a mechanical car key. However, they don't work in a perfect way for a long time, and their batteries will eventually fail. You can try programming your key fob at home in case you are in a rush or don't have time visit a shop. Set out your keys, batteries, and extra keys on a clean surface. Place the key fob with the Volvo logo facing up and then find a small black button at the bottom left of the fob. Slide it downwards and to the right. The cover should fall off and expose the key blade's mechanical mechanism underneath. You can open all the doors and the rear gate by pressing the unlock button on the fob's key twice. By pressing the lock button for 2 minutes, you are able to close the windows and shut the sunroof if they are equipped. Reconnect the battery and the alarm will stop. If it does not, the owner's instructions should contain a reset process.
