Manual locking and unlocking
Touch sensitive handles
Each of the four doors have sensors that can detect when you open and close the car door. Each sensor can trigger locking and unlocking if you're carrying a distance-capable key.
There are two touch points on each of the four door handles: the inner part and the small indentation on the side nearest the door edge.
The inner part of the handle is used to open the door. This touch point can also unlock the door.
The indentation towards the door edge marks where you can place your thumb or fingers to lock a door.
Card reader in the door handle
If you're only carrying a key card, or your distance-capable key has run out of battery, you can unlock the car using the NFC1 reader on the door handle.
Make sure the card or device is laid flat against the reader. If you're using a key tag, the Volvo logo should be facing towards you.
Button panels
When inside the car, you can lock and unlock it using the buttons on the driver door. The lock and unlock symbols are visible on the buttons.
Centre display controls
All lock controls, the control for the child lock and opening the glove box and the boot are located in the centre display.
Important
It is the driver's responsibility to ensure that the car is locked, even when automatic functions are enabled.
Car thieves can use frequency jamming to interfere with key functions and prevent cars from locking. When you leave your car, always check that the door handles retract as this signifies that the car is locked.
