Red Key - restricted remote key*

Updated 2023-06-08

A Red Key makes it possible for the vehicle owner to set limitations for certain vehicle properties. The limitations are intended to promote safe use of the vehicle, e.g. when it is loaned out.

For a Red Key, it is possible to define the vehicle's maximum speed, set speed reminders and limit the audio system's volume. Several of the driver support systems will also always be active. Otherwise, the Red Key functions in the same way as a standard remote key.

One or more Red Keys can be ordered from a Volvo retailer. A total of twelve keys can be programmed and used for the same vehicle. Up to ten may be restricted keys, but at least two must be standard remote keys.

These restrictions are intended to help reduce the risk of accidents and help the driver feel more secure when handing over the vehicle to e.g. a young driver, parking attendant or workshop. The settings for a Red Key cannot be changed by its user; a regular remote key is needed to change settings.
