Volvo Key Fob Troubleshooting
Volvo drivers love the remote control capabilities of their key fob. By using a smartphone application, they can lock and unlock the vehicle and start the engine and even locate the vehicle.
First, put the fob onto a clean work surface with the logo side facing upward. Find the button to release it. Place a coin in between the fob cover and the fob, and slowly pull it up.
Unlocking the Doors
Volvo's remote key fobs will unlock the tailgate, doors, and flap for filling up the fuel in your car with the touch of one button. The remote key fobs also turn on the ignition, and also activate the alarm. They can even operate the sunroof, provided it's equipped. With these options you'll never fumble for your keys or even lock yourself out of your car.
If you have a new Volvo model from our dealership, you might be unaware of some of its key fob's hidden features. One of these features is an unlocked/lock button that you can press in the event the battery in your key fob dies.
To unlock the manual lock or unlock button to unlock your key fob, place it with the Volvo logo side up. Find the black button that is located near the edges of the key fob body and gently press it to open a cover which conceals the manual key blade. You'll require a flathead screwdriver and a coin to flip this cover counterclockwise so that the arrow is aligned with "open."
The Engine is Ready to Start
Modern Volvo key fobs offer an unbeatable level of convenience and functionality that is unmatched by traditional manual keys. A key fob, like any other battery-operated device, may lose charge over 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 the battery.
You can activate this feature by using the key fob if your car is equipped with a dealer-installed Engine Remote Start. The vehicle will then cool or heat to the temperature it was at when parked, and it will operate for up to 15 minutes.
Use a fingernail to remove the cover from the back of the key fob. A button is located under the cover at a diagonal, near the body's edge. Slide it down and then to the right. The cover will then come open and slide off to reveal the manual key blade! If you are unable to locate the button, search the newly revealed manual key access to find a hidden lever or slot.
Close the Windows
Volvo key fobs feature a hidden feature that allows users to instantly lower all the windows. This is very useful when you're trying to squeeze into tight parking spaces 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. When you're finished with the vehicle, you can close all the windows by pressing the lock key again for four seconds.
You can also activate the panic alarm inside your car with the key fob. It will emit an alarm that is loud enough to draw attention and deter thieves. It can also help you get home safely if you've been out all night. This feature comes in handy if you are living in a dangerous neighborhood or wish to safeguard your family while they're away.
Opening the Tailgate
The key fob of Volvo is loaded with useful features. These are perfect when you're busy shopping for groceries or helping your kids to pack their sports gear following 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. Simply press the button to open it, then press the same button to close it once you're done.
When you're in the mood to start your car Use the key fob to press the START button (and don't worry about the battery dying or your car not starting since it has a backup mechanical key slot too). This is only one of many helpful tips to use with your new Volvo.
Losing your Volvo keys is a hassle and costly but you can reduce the damage by using our Key Protection service. This covers the costs of replacement or repair if you lose your Volvo key fob. It also includes labor costs to help you get back on the road.
Turning Off the Alarm
Modern key fobs provide a great deal of convenience over a standard mechanical car key. However, they don't work completely for a long time, and the batteries will eventually fail. You can try to program your key fob at home in case you are in a hurry or don't have time go to the store.
Find a smooth surface and lay out your key fob, battery, and extra keys. Set the key fob with the Volvo logo facing upwards Then, locate a small black button on the left-hand side of the fob and slide it downwards and to the right. The cover should loosen and fall off leaving the key's mechanical blade underneath it.
You can open all doors as well as the rear gate by pressing the unlock button on the fob's keypad twice. By pressing the lock button for 2 seconds, you will be able to close the sunroof and windows in the event that they're equipped. Reconnect volvo v40 key G28CarKeys , and the alarm should cease. If it doesn't, the owner's instructions should include a reset procedure.
