Volvo XC90: Key, locks and alarm / Detachable key blade

The remote key contains a detachable metal key blade that can be used to activate a number of functions and preform certain actions.

A Volvo workshop can provide you with the key blade's unique code, which is recommended in case you need to order a new key blade.

Using the detachable key blade

The detachable key blade can be used to

• manually open the left-side front door if central locking cannot be activated with the remote key
• emergency lock all doors
• activate/deactivate the rear door mechanical child locks.

The button-less key¹ does not have a detachable key blade. If needed, use the standard remote key's detachable key blade.

Detaching the key blade

Hold the remote key with the front side (with the Volvo logo) facing up and move the button on the key ring section to the right. Slide the front cover slightly upward.

The cover will loosen and can be removed from the key.

Remove the key blade by pulling it up.

Put the key blade back into its designated spot in the remote key after use.

Replace the cover by pressing it down until it clicks into place.

Slide the cover back.

• An additional click indicates that the cover is correctly in place.

¹ Included in vehicles equipped with keyless locking/unlocking*.
