Preconditioning can be activated via the remote control key:
Hold the button for approach lighting 
depressed for 2 seconds.
Hazard warning flashers provide information in accordance with the following:
- 5 short flashes followed by a constant glow for approx. 3 seconds - the signal has reached the car and preconditioning has been activated.
- 5 short flashes - the signal has reached the car but preconditioning has not been activated.
- Hazard warning flashers remain switched off - the signal has not reached the car.
If the button for information 
is depressed when preconditioning is active then the indicator lamp will show the status for this - at the same time the car's lock status is shown. While the status is being investigated the indicator lamp emits a pair of short flashes followed by a constant glow if preconditioning is active.
Status is also shown in the trip computer while preconditioning is in progress.
Direct start via a mobile*
Activation and information about the selected settings that can be managed from a mobile phone will be available via Volvo On Call*, see separate owner's manual for Volvo On Call*.
