Key card

You can lock and unlock the car by placing the key card on the driver's door pillar.

The key card starts the car when placed on the key reader located below the centre display. When you start using the pedals, you can remove the card from the key reader.

If the car is stationary without a card on the key reader for a while, you will need to put the card back on the reader for the car to reactivate driving mode.

Important

Using the charging function

Do not place cards with NFC^[1], such as key cards or electronic payment cards, between the wireless charger and the device when using the charging function. This could damage them.

Signal disturbances

The car's use of Bluetooth, UWB^[2] and NFC signals may cause disturbances in other devices at certain distances.

Note

The key reader and wireless charger are located in the same place. This means that if you have a key card on the key reader, you have to remove it to be able to wirelessly charge a phone.

Tip

Key card as backup access

If your car is unresponsive when you try to unlock it with a distance-capable key, try unlocking the driver door with your key card. The key card is designed specifically to also act as a backup in this kind of situation. You will be able to get to any belongings inside even if the other doors don’t work. If your car is unresponsive, contact Volvo support.

Keep in mind that if the car battery is flat, you won't be able to open the doors.
