Locking and unlocking
The car can be locked and unlocked in several different ways.
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.
Lock indications
When you lock the car, the hazard warning lights flash and the side mirrors fold inwards.
On the inside of the car, 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 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.
