Red Key - restricted remote key*
Driver profile for Red Key
A Red Key is linked to a specific Red Key
driver profile, and when it is active the key's
settings cannot be changed. It is also not pos-
sible to switch to another driver profile, as this
requires a regular remote key.
A Red Key makes it possible for the vehicle
owner to set limitations for certain vehicle
properties. The limitations are intended to
promote safe use of the vehicle, e.g. when it
is loaned out.
Volvo recommends that you order a new or
duplicate remote control key from an
authorized Volvo workshop.
You can also obtain additional or duplicate
remote control keys from certain independ-
ent repair facilities and locksmiths that are
qualified to make remote control keys.
Each key must be programmed to work
with your vehicle.
The Red Key driver profile is activated when
the vehicle is unlocked using a Red Key with-
out a regular remote key nearby.
A list of independent repair facilities and/or
locksmiths known to Volvo that can cut
and code replacement keys can be found:
If the vehicle changes owners, the vehicle
must be locked and then unlocked for a
new driver profile to be activated.

One or more Red Key can be ordered from a

cle's maximum speed, set speed reminders
