The key fob should be held with the Volvo logo facing up to unlock or lock the manual lock. Find the black button which is near the edge of the body of your key fob, and gently press it to unlock a cover that hides the manual key blade. You'll need a flathead screwdriver or coin to flip the cover counterclockwise, ensuring that the arrow is aligned with "open."
Beginning the Engine
Modern Volvo key fobs offer an unbeatable level of convenience and functionality that is not available with traditional manual keys. Key fobs, like any other battery-operated device, can lose its charge over time. If you've noticed that your key fob is less responsive when you press the lock or unlock buttons, it's a good sign that it's in need of a new battery.
You can activate this feature by using the key fob if your car comes with a dealer-installed Engine Remote Start. The vehicle will then heat or cool to the exact temperature it was set at when it was parked, and will operate for up to 15 minutes.
Remove the back cover of the key fob using your fingernail. A button is located under the cover at a diagonal, near the edge of the body. Slide it to the right. The cover will break loose, and then slide off to reveal the manual blade! If you're unable to locate the button, take a look around the newly revealed manual key access to find the lever or slot that is hidden.
Close the Windows
One of the nefarious features on Volvo key fobs is that you can close all windows instantly with them. This is useful when trying to squeeze into a cramped parking space, or simply when you want to get some fresh air in your cabin while driving.
To unlock the windows you need to press and hold the unlock button on your Volvo remote for four seconds. This will lower the windows as well as the sunroof, if you have one. When you're finished with the vehicle, you can shut all the windows by pressing the lock button again for four seconds.
You can also activate the panic alarm in your car by using the key fob. This will emit an intense, attention-grabbing roar that will frighten off thieves and help you get home at a safe distance after a night out. This feature is handy if you reside in an area that is dangerous, or want to keep your family safe when you are away from home.

You can open all doors and the reargate by pressing the unlock button on the key fob twice. The lock button also closes the windows and sunroof (if equipped) by pressing it for 2 seconds.
