How to Program a Volvo Key Fob
No matter if you drive a small S60 car or a larger XC90 SUV, it's important to have a spare key fob in the event that one gets lost. You can also use it to provide a spare fob for others who drive your Volvo.
The fob's battery needs to be replaced from time intervals. You can do this yourself by pressing the black button on the key fob to slide open and remove the cover.
Keyless Entry System
The key fob that comes with the Volvo car or crossover comes with an electronic blade that can be used to open and enter the vehicle if your remote key battery dies or if you need it reprogrammed. The Volvo experts at our dealership in Mission Viejo, CA are here to help you understand the process and answer any questions you might have.
This advanced device features more than simply buttons for locking and unlocking doors. You can also control the car's ignition and alarm system with your Volvo key fob. Key fobs have hidden functions include rolling down your windows, and closing the sunroof and moonroof (if fitted).
You can program a new Volvo remote key at home or bring it to locksmiths for expert programming. The first step is to review the owner's manual for the specific model. You will find detailed instructions on how to program your key fob as well as other accessories.
If you are required to change the battery in your Volvo XC40 remote key, locate the small grey button on the bottom of the cover for the key fob and press it to slide open the back of the key fob. Replace the old battery with a CR2032 replacement battery. These batteries are widely available in grocery stores and pharmacies.
Keyless Start
Volvo's advanced remote key can communicate with the vehicle without physical car key. It keeps the backseat clear of gangly teens using rear-facing child safety seats and provides you with peace of mind that the key fob will not allow anyone to gain access to the vehicle. When you're within a certain distance the key fob authenticates with the vehicle and unlocks the doors.
You can also start your Volvo remotely using a button sequence on your key fob. This lets the car heat up or cool down to a desired temperature prior to when you get inside. This is ideal for chilly winter mornings or hot summer days.
If your Volvo's key fob doesn't work correctly, it may require reprogramming. Our experts at Volvo of Mission Viejo are happy to guide you through the process and discuss the various options to get it completed.
This lighter, smaller Key Tag from Volvo Dealer Accessories is designed to work with cars that offer keyless locking and unlocking. It can be used to replace an existing remote or as an additional option for family members who frequently drive your Volvo. It features the same functionality like your standard remote and is simple to program to use - simply insert it into the ignition switch, and press the buttons on your key fob to match the codes required.
Key Fob
Some Volvos are equipped with a key fob that has hidden features that go beyond locking and unlocking the doors. The lock button, for instance can also shut windows and even the moonroof when fitted. This feature is particularly useful if you park on a slope and don't wish for your car to roll away without looking.
Another great feature is the ability to remotely unlock the tailgate. To do this just press the unlock button two times in succession. After the second time, the tailgate will automatically unlock and then open. The same procedure can be used to close your tailgate.
Keyfobs from Volvo contain a tiny mechanical blade that can be used as a key in an emergency. This is an excellent feature when you accidentally lock yourself out of the car or lose your key fob. It is possible to locate the key blade inside the fob by taking off the cover. Use a small flat-head screwdriver for this.
You may need to have the key fob programmed by a dealer or professional locksmith to work on the vehicle. Before you change the key fob, it is important to check your VIN number. If not, you could end up needing to replace the ignition cylinder once more.
If your Volvo has no keyless entry system, you'll need an electric blade to open and lock the door for the driver. This hidden mechanical key blade can unlock your vehicle in the event that the remote key battery runs out. You may have to replace the mechanical key blade, however, if it gets damaged.
If you have a mechanical key blade on your key fob, it's best to rotate the keys often to ensure that the blade doesn't wear out before it's time to replace it. It is also advisable to keep your keys clean so they're in good condition for longer. A good method to accomplish this is to spray them down using WD-40 to lubricate the moving parts.
The key fob has a tiny battery that will need to be changed at some time. If you notice your key fob is not functioning properly get in touch with a professional for assistance. They will troubleshoot and determine if the issue is with the lock, key, or other components in your car's safety system. In most instances, they'll have the ability to fix the issue in your home or at their shop. They will then test your key to ensure it is working. If your Volvo key doesn't turn it could be due to a problem with the ignition cylinder, or a steering column that is bound or lock.
