Detachable Key Blade

~1min read

The remote key contains a detachable metal key blade that can be used to activate a number of functions and preform certain actions.

A Volvo workshop can provide you with the key blade's unique code, which is recommended in case you need to order a new key blade.

Using the Detachable Key Blade

The detachable key blade can be used for

  • manually open the left-side front door if central locking cannot be activated with the remote key
  • Emergency Locking of All Doors
  • Activate/deactivate the mechanical child locks of the rear doors.

The button-less key1 does not have a detachable key blade. If needed, use the standard remote key's detachable key blade.
