Occupant detection
Your vehicle can remind you not to leave anyone inside when you lock it.
Presence warnings
By default, your vehicle alerts you if it detects that passengers or pets are still in the vehicle when you try to lock it. When this happens, your vehicle will not lock and you'll receive a notification in the center display. However, it's possible to lock the vehicle with a passenger inside if you've temporarily allowed occupant locking in the locking settings.
Tip
Mobile notification
If your Volvo Cars app is linked to the profile currently signed in to the vehicle, you will also get a notification in the app in situations when the vehicle would alert you.
Note
Double lock
Double lock is an anti-theft feature that prevents your vehicle from being unlocked from the inside. For safety reasons, the vehicle won't double lock when it detects passengers inside the vehicle. This is to ensure that any remaining occupants in the vehicle can exit safely in the event of an emergency.
Warning
Volvo recommends that you do not leave people or pets in a locked vehicle.
Some regions have laws prohibiting people or pets being left inside a locked vehicle.
