Locking and unlocking with the detachable key blade

Updated 03/19/2020

Amongst other things, the detachable key blade can be used to unlock the car from the outside - e.g. if the remote control key's battery has become discharged.

Unlocking

Pull out the front door handle on the left-hand side1 to its end position so that the lock cylinder become visible.

Insert the key in the lock cylinder.

Turn clockwise 45 degrees so that the key blade is pointing straight back.

Turn the key back 45 degrees to its starting position. Remove the key from the lock cylinder and release the handle so that the rear section of the handle is resting against the car again.

Pull out the handle.

The door opens.

Locking will be performed in the same way, but with an anticlockwise turn 45 degrees instead of clockwise in step (3).

Switch off the alarm and start the car*

Note

When the door is unlocked using the key blade and is then opened, the alarm is triggered.

Place the remote control key on the key symbol in the backup reader in the bottom of the cup holder in the tunnel console.

Then turn the start knob clockwise and release it.

The alarm signal stops sounding and the alarm is switched off.

Locking

It is also possible to lock the car with the remote control key's detachable key blade e.g. in the event of a loss of power or if the key's battery has become discharged.

The left-hand front door can be locked with its lock cylinder and the detachable key blade.

Other doors have no lock cylinders and instead have a lock switch on the end of each door which must be depressed using the key blade - they are then mechanically locked/blocked to prevent them being opened from outside.

The doors can still be opened from the inside.

P5-1507-XC90- Manual locking — Manual locking of the door. Not to be mixed up with the child safety locks.

Remove the detachable key blade from the remote control key. Insert the key blade in the hole for lock reset and press the key in until it bottoms, approx. 12 mm (0.5 inches).

	The door can be opened from both the outside and the inside.
	The door is blocked against opening from the outside. To return to position A, the inner door handle must be opened.

The doors can also be unlocked with the unlock button on the remote control key or with the central locking button on the driver's door.

Note

A door's lock reset only locks that particular door - not all doors simultaneously.
A manually locked rear door with activated manual or electric child safety locks cannot be opened from either the outside or the inside. A rear door that is locked in this way can only be unlocked with the remote control key, central locking button or via Volvo On Call*.
