Immobilizer (start inhibitor)

Immobilizer (start inhibitor) - Introduction - Remote key and key blade - Locks and alarm - Volvo XC60 Owners Manual - Volvo XC60

Each of the keys supplied with your vehicle contains a coded transponder. The code in the key is transmitted to an antenna in the ignition slot where it is compared to the code stored in the start inhibitor module. The vehicle will start only with a properly coded key. If you misplace a key, take the other keys to a trained and qualified Volvo service technician for reprogramming as an anti-theft measure. The following messages (which may appear in the instrument panel display) are related to the immobilizer:

CAUTION

CAUTION Never use force when inserting the remote key in the ignition slot. The vehicle cannot be started if the transponder is damaged.
