A Volvo workshop can provide you with the key blade's unique code, which is recommended in case you need to order a new key blade.
Using the detachable key blade
The detachable key blade can be used to:
- manually open the left-side front door if central locking cannot be activated using the key button.
- emergency lock all doors.
- activate/deactivate the rear door mechanical child locks.
If the key blade has been used to unlock the vehicle, the alarm can be disabled and the vehicle started by placing the key in the backup reader in the tunnel console cup holder.
The optional buttonless key (Key Tag) does not have a detachable key blade.
