Volvo XC90: Key, locks and alarm / Keyless tailgate unlock
(Option/accessory.)
With keyless locking and unlocking, the tailgate can be unlocked by lightly
touching the rubberized button on the tailgate handle.
NOTE
One of the vehicle's remote keys must be within range behind the vehicle
for unlocking to be possible.

The tailgate is held closed by an electronic locking mechanism.
To open:
- Lightly press the rubberized pressure plate on the underside of the tailgate
handle.
- Lift the outer handle to open the tailgate.
CAUTION
- Only light pressure on the rubberized pressure plate is necessary
to release the tailgate's locking mechanism.
- Use the handle to lift the tailgate and do not apply force to the
rubberized pressure plate. Too much force can damage the pressure plate's electrical
connections.
Hands-free unlocking of the tailgate is also possible using a foot movement under
the rear bumper; see the separate section.

into the vehicle through the cargo compartment.

Other information:
The vehicle should be washed as soon as it becomes dirty. This makes the vehicle
easier to clean because dirt does not attach as strongly. It also reduces the risk
of scratches and keeps the vehicle looking new. Wash the vehicle in a car wash or
garage with an oil separator and use car washing detergent. Use cleaning agents
and car care products recommended by Volvo.
Important to keep in mind ..
This system is intended to remind occupants to buckle their seat belts and
to alert the driver if a door, hood or other opening (trunk, sunroof, etc.) is open.
