Care Key – restricted remote control key

A Care Key allows the car owner to set a limit for the speed of the car. The limitation is intended to encourage the car to be driven in a safe manner such as when being loaned out, for example.

For a Care Key, you can set your car’s maxi-mum speed. Other functions of the key are the same as those of a normal remote control key.
The limits are intended to act as measures to reduce the risk of accidents, thereby making it feel safer to hand over the car to e.g. young drivers, valet parking or a workshop.

Ordering Care Key

One or more Care Key can be ordered from a Volvo dealer. A total of eleven keys with restrictions can be programmed and used for a single car – at least one must be a normal remote control key.

Limitations of Care Key

The key is linked to a special Care Key driver profile, and when it is active, the key’s settings cannot be changed. It is not possible to change to another driver profile either; this requires a normal remote control key. The driver profile is activated when the car is unlocked with a Care Key without a normal remote control key in the vicinity.

NOTE
In the event of a change of driver, the car must be locked and unlocked in order to activate a new driver profile.

Setting options
The following limitations are available to be set:

• Speed interval: 50-180 km/h (30-112 mph)

Keyless and touch-sensitive surfaces

With the keyless locking and unlocking function, carrying the remote control key in a pocket or bag will suffice. The car is locked or unlocked via a touch-sensitive surface on the door handle.
Touch-sensitive surfaces

Door handle
The outside of the door handles contains a recess for locking, while the inside contains a touch-sensitive surface for unlocking.

1. Touch-sensitive recess for locking
2. Touch-sensitive surface for unlocking

NOTE
It is important that only one touch-sensitive surface is activated at a time. Gripping the handle while touching the lock surface risks giving double commands. This means that the requested activity (locking/unlocking) will not be executed, or will be executed with a delay.

Boot lid handle
The boot lid handle has a rubberised pressure plate that is only used for unlocking.

NOTE
Be aware that the system may be activated in connection with car washing if the remote control key is in range.

Keyless locking and unlocking*

With keyless locking and unlocking, it is sufficient to touch the door handle’s touch-sensitive surface to lock or unlock the car.
