A Care Key enables the vehicle owner to set a maximum speed limit for the vehicle. This limit is intended to ensure safe use of the vehicle, for example when it is loaned out.

Volvo XC90. Care Key – restricted remote key

The maximum speed of the vehicle can be set for the Care Key. Otherwise, the Red Key functions in the same way as a standard remote key.

This restriction is intended to help reduce the risk of accidents and help the driver feel more secure when handing over the vehicle to e.g. a young driver, parking attendant or workshop.

Ordering a Care Key

One or more Care Keys can be ordered from a Volvo retailer. A total of twelve keys can be programmed and used for the same vehicle. Up to ten may be restricted keys, but at least two must be standard remote keys.

Care Key Restrictions

The key is linked to a specific Care Key driver profile, and when it is active the key's settings cannot be changed. It is also not possible to switch to another driver profile, as this requires a regular remote key.

The driver profile is activated when the vehicle is unlocked using a Care Key without a regular remote key nearby.

Setting Options

The following restrictions are available:

  • Speed range: 50-180 km/h (30-112 mph)
  • Increments: 1 km/h
