You can lock and unlock the car 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 car with the door handles and lock buttons
- with the Volvo Cars app.
Note
Automatic locking while driving
The doors and boot 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.
You can also turn the automatic lock while driving setting on or off.
If you want to prevent the rear doors from being opened from the inside, activate the child lock.
When you use keyless locking, all of the doors need to be closed before the car can lock.
If you lock the car using your standard key, only the driver's door needs to be closed. Once you close the rest of the doors and hatches, your car will indicate that it's locked.
Lock indications
Your car has a number of ways it can indicate whether the doors are locked. These include:
- The hazard lights flashing twice when the car locks. You can turn more locking feedback responses on or off in settings.
- Any locked doors being indicated with a small light next to the lock buttons in the door panels. The light turns off if that door is opened.
- The front door indication lights illuminating if all of the doors are locked. The lights turn off if any of the doors are opened.
Warning
Volvo recommends not leaving people or pets in a locked car. 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.
