Volvo XC90: Key, locks and alarm / Care Key – restricted remote key

A Care Key enables the vehicle owner to set a maximum speed limit for the vehicle. This limit is intended to promote safe use of the vehicle, e.g. when it is loaned out.

A maximum vehicle speed can be defined for a Care Key. Otherwise, the Red Key functions in the same way as a standard remote key.

This restriction is intended to help reduce the risk of accidents and help the driver feel more secure when handing over the vehicle to e.g. a young driver, parking attendant or workshop.

Ordering a Care Key

One or more Care 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.

Care Key limitations

The key is linked to a specific Care Key driver profile, and when it is active the key's settings cannot be changed. It is also not possible to switch to another driver profile, as this requires a regular remote key.

The driver profile is activated when the vehicle is unlocked using a Care Key without a regular remote key nearby.

NOTE

If the vehicle changes owners, the vehicle must be locked and then unlocked for a new driver profile to be activated.

Setting options

The following limitations are available:

• speed range: 50-180 km/h (30-112 mph)
• Increments: 1 km/h (1 mph)
