With keyless locking and unlocking, the tailgate can be unlocked by lightly touching the rubberized button on the tailgate handle.

Volvo XC90. Keyless tailgate unlock

The rear door is held closed by an electronic locking mechanism.

To open:

  1. Lightly press the rubberized pressure plate on the underside of the tailgate handle.
    • The lock will release.
  2. Lift the outer handle to open the rear door.
  • Only light pressure on the rubberized pressure plate is necessary to release the tailgate's locking mechanism.
  • Use the handle to lift the tailgate and do not apply force to the rubberized pressure plate. Too much force can damage the pressure plate's electrical connections.

Hands-free unlocking of the tailgate is also possible using a foot movement under the rear bumper; see the separate section.
