Driver profile for Red Key

NOTE

A Red Key is linked to a specific Red Key

driver profile, and when it is active the key's

settings cannot be changed. It is also not pos-

sible to switch to another driver profile, as this

requires a regular remote key.

A Red Key makes it possible for the vehicle

owner to set limitations for certain vehicle

properties. The limitations are intended to

promote safe use of the vehicle, e.g. when it

is loaned out.

Volvo recommends that you order a new or

duplicate remote control key from an

authorized Volvo workshop.

You can also obtain additional or duplicate

remote control keys from certain independ-

ent repair facilities and locksmiths that are

qualified to make remote control keys.

Each key must be programmed to work

with your vehicle.

The Red Key driver profile is activated when

the vehicle is unlocked using a Red Key with-

out a regular remote key nearby.

NOTE

A list of independent repair facilities and/or

locksmiths known to Volvo that can cut

and code replacement keys can be found:

If the vehicle changes owners, the vehicle

must be locked and then unlocked for a

new driver profile to be activated.
