Locking and unlocking

The vehicle can be locked and unlocked in several different ways.
You can lock and unlock the vehicle in the following ways:
  • with the buttons on the standard key or Care Key
  • using the detachable key blade on the standard key
  • using the keyless function1
  • from the inside of the vehicle with the door handles and lock buttons
  • with the Volvo Cars app

 Note

Automatic locking while driving

The doors and trunk hatch lock automatically when you start driving, but the doors can still be opened from the inside. You can select which doors can be unlocked in settings.

If you want to prevent the rear doors from being opened from the inside, activate the child lock.

Lock indications

When you lock the vehicle, the hazard warning lights flash and the side mirrors fold inward.

On the inside of the vehicle, any locked doors are indicated with a small light next to the lock button.

If the indication lights for the front door are illuminated, all of the doors are locked.

The light turns off if any of the doors are opened.

 Warning

Volvo recommends that you do not leave people or pets in a locked vehicle. The driver is always fully responsible for the well-being and safety of anyone left inside. Some regions have laws prohibiting people or pets being left inside a locked vehicle.
  1. 1 The vehicle detects that a key is within range and lets you lock and unlock by touching the door handles or trunk hatch handle.
