Locking/Unlocking - Volvo V40 Owner's Manual

02 Locks and alarm

Locking/unlocking

From the outside
The remote control key can lock/unlock all
02
doors, the tailgate and the fuel filler flap. Dif-
ferent sequences for unlocking can be
selected, see "Unlocking with the remote
control key" page 46.
In order that the lock sequence can be acti-
vated, the driver's door must be closed - if
any of the other doors or the tailgate is open,
then it/they is/are locked and the alarm is
activated only when it/they are closed. With
the Keyless* system all the doors and tailgate
must be closed.
NOTE
Be aware of the risk of locking the remote
control key in the car.
If it is not possible to lock/unlock with the
remote control key, the battery may be dis-
charged - lock or unlock the left-hand front
door with the detachable key blade, see
page 49.

Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
NOTE
Remember that the alarm is triggered
when the door is opened after being
unlocked with the key blade - the alarm is
switched off when the remote control key
is inserted into the ignition switch.
WARNING
Be aware of the risk of being locked in the
car when it is locked from the outside
using the remote control key - it is then not
possible to open any of the doors from the
inside with the door controls. For more
information, see page 60, Deadlocks.
Automatic relocking
If none of the doors or the tailgate is opened
within 2 minutes of unlocking, all are locked
again automatically. This function reduces the
risk that the car is left unlocked unintention-
ally. (For cars with alarm, see page 63.)
Manual locking
In certain situations the car must be lockable
manually, e.g. in the event of power failure.
The left-hand front door can be locked with
its lock cylinder and the remote control key's
detachable key blade, see page 54.
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.
Manual locking of the door. Not to be mixed up
with child safety locks, see page 62.
– Remove the removable key blade from
the remote control key, see page 49.
Insert the key blade into the hole for the
lock switch and press in the key until it
reaches the bottom, approx. 12 mm.
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.
