Volvo XC90: Key, locks and alarm / Locking and unlocking with detachable key blade
The detachable key blade can be used to unlock the vehicle from the outside,
e.g. if the battery in the remote key is discharged.
Unlocking
Pull the front left-hand door handle
to its end position to access the lock cylinder.
Put the key in the lock cylinder.
Turn the key clockwise 45 degrees
so that the key blade is pointing straight rearward.
Turn the key blade back 45 degrees
to its original position. Remove the key from the lock cylinder and release the
handle so that it returns to its original position against the vehicle.
- Pull the door handle.
NOTE
When the door is unlocked using the detachable key blade and then opened,
the alarm will be triggered. The alarm must be deactivated manually; see separate
section.
Locking
The left-hand front door can be locked by inserting the detachable key into the
door's lock cylinder.
The other doors have lock mechanisms in the side of the door that must be pushed
in using the key blade. The door will then be locked mechanically and cannot be
opened from the outside.
The doors can still be opened from inside.

The door can be opened from both
the outside and the inside.
The door cannot be opened from the

NOTE
