Volvo XC90: Key, locks and alarm / Activating and deactivating private locking
Private locking is activated using the function button in the center display
and a PIN code.
NOTE
For the valet lock function to be activated the car must be in at least
ignition mode I.
Two codes are used for private locking:
- A security code, which is created the first time the function is used.
- A PIN code, which is changed each time the function is activated.
Entering security code before initial use
The first time the function is used, a security code must be selected. This code
can then be used to deactivate private locking if the selected PIN code has been
forgotten or lost. The security code functions as a PUK (security) code for all
PIN codes used for private locking.
Save the security code in a safe place.
To create a security code:
- Tap the button for private locking in Function view.

A pop-up window will appear.
- Enter the desired security code and press Confirm.
The security
code is saved. The private locking function is now ready for activation.
Activating private locking
- Tap the button for private locking in Function view.

- A pop-up window will appear.
- Enter the code you would like to use to unlock the glove compartment and
the tailgate and tap Confirm.
- The glove compartment and tailgate will lock. A green indicator light
will illuminate next to the button in Function view to confirm locked status.
Deactivating private locking
- Tap the button for private locking in Function view.

- A pop-up window will appear.
- Enter the code used for locking and tap Confirm.
- The glove compartment and tailgate will unlock. The green indicator
light next to the button in Function view will go out to confirm unlocked
status.
Forgotten PIN code
If you have forgotten your PIN code or entered it incorrectly more than three
times, the security code can be used to deactivate private locking.
