Care Key – restricted remote key

A maximum vehicle speed can be defined for a Care Key. Otherwise, the Red Key functions in the same way as a standard remote key.

This restriction is 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.

Ordering a Care Key

One or more Care Key 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.

Use Care Key

The key is linked to a specific Care Key driver profile, and when it is active the key's settings cannot be changed. It is also not possible to switch to another driver profile, as this requires a regular remote key.

The driver profile is activated when the vehicle is unlocked using a Care Key without a regular remote key nearby. Alternatively, the Care Key profile can be activated before the regular remote key is removed.

To activate a regular driver profile, the vehicle must be unlocked using an unrestricted key.

Indication in the instrument panel

When Care Key is being used, this will be indicated by a symbol in the instrument panel and a red line on the speedometer indicating the maximum speed.
