1996 Volvo 850
Remote keyless entry system
As an option, your car can be equipped with a remote control transmitter. This transmitter uses a radio
frequency which will allow "keyless" entry into the passenger compartment or the trunk. You will be
supplied with two coded key ring transmitters, which will enable you to lock/unlock all doors and the
trunk/tailgate from a distance of 10-15 feet (3-5 meters).
To lock :
Press button 1 once to lock all doors and trunk/tailgate.
To unlock :
Press button 2 once to unlock the driver's door only.
Press button 2 again (within 10 seconds) to unlock all doors and trunk/tailgate.
Aim the base of the remote control unit at the car to get the best range.
On vehicles equipped with an alarm, the alarm will also be activated/deactivated by this system.
As an extra security precaution in certain situations (valet parking, etc.), Volvo recommends that the
transmitter not be included when the keys are given to anyone. The service key can be used instead. If
one of the transmitters is misplaced, contact the nearest authorized Volvo retailer for assistance.
Batteries
The remote transmitter is powered by 2 three-volt batteries, type CR 1220. If three short signals are
audible from the transmitter each time you lock/unlock the car, this indicates that the batteries are weak.
Replacement: Remove the battery cover on the back of the transmitter with a coin. Replace the batteries.
Reinstall the cover, making sure it is secured tightly to help protect the transmitter.
