Volvo Lockout Emergencies
Most Volvos use electronic keys and fobs with a specific system installed. This helps ensure that only that key will work with your car. This isn’t to say Volvos with manual keys don’t exist anymore; they’re simply quite rare.
Inside your Volvo, there is an installed immobilizer connected to the engine. Your key contains a transponder, which is a chip. The immobilizer reads this chip when you put the key in the ignition barrel and searches for a particular four-digit code.
If you’ve lost your key, don’t get a replacement from an online retailer or second-hand. The car won’t recognize the code. Before the car can start, the immobilizer will shut the engine off. Only an expert with the right tools can replace and program your car key.
You might be thinking you need to go to dealership now. Keep in mind dealers can take as long as a week to replace a lost key. What’s more, it will cost you a pretty penny because current Volvo car key technology is very expensive.

Was your Volvo made after 1995?
Was your Volvo model made after 1995? In that case, it is quite likely that the key and car are equipped with a safety system to prevent car theft. If you’ve lost a Volvo car key remote or a Volvo key fob, the new key won’t work unless it has been specifically programmed to your car. Even a standard physical key might require some programming. A car locksmith will know whether it needs programming or not.

Provide the locksmith with your Volvo model and the year it was made. Remember that model names can vary subtly. Then, discuss when to schedule the servicing. A locksmith will need access to your vehicle to replace your car key.A locksmith doesn’t need the original key to make a new one. They can get a broken key out of the ignition or the lock if that’s the case and use it to make a duplicate. This is not always necessary, however. They can make a new one from scratch just by having access to your car if they are capable.
The Latest Volvo Key Technology
We don’t use the remote control key physically when we start our automobile because the car has standard support for keyless starting. This is known as passive start. To be able to start the car, the key has to be in the front section of the passenger compartment, e.g. the runnel console cup holder or the driver’s pocket.
Passive entry (tailgate) and keyless door locking and unlocking are also an option. The remote control key range has a semicircle radius of around three feet out from the tailgate and around five feet from the driver’s door.
The Care Key
Volvo launched the so-called Care Key, which limits all Volvos’ top speed to 111.847 mph. This key allows users to set a speed limit for family members, friends, or themselves. From model year 2021, this key will be standard for all Volvos. The manufacturer did this in an effort to send a warning about the dangers of speeding.
Replacing Volvo Key Fobs
Also referred to as smart keys, Volvo key fobs come with newer models with push-button ignitions. In addition to programming, you should ask the locksmith to physically cut a key. You will need this to open your doors in case of an emergency. Your locksmith should do his best to help you make the right decision and remind you of all your options. His expertise will suffice to help you make the most informed choice.
