Red Key - restricted remote key*  
Driver profile for Red Key  
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.  
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.

Ordering a Red Key  
by calling Volvo Customer Care  
1-800-458-1552.  
One or more Red Key can be ordered from a  
Volvo retailer. A total of twelve keys can be  
programmed and used for the same vehicle.  
Up to ten may be restricted keys, but at least  
two must be standard remote keys.  
For a Red Key, it is possible to define the vehi-  
cle's maximum speed, set speed reminders  
and limit the audio system's volume. Several  
of the driver support systems will also always  
be active. Otherwise, the Red Key functions in  
the same way as a standard remote key.
