How to Start Your Vehicle Most modern vehicles are equipped with key fobs which can perform much more than just unlock or lock the doors. They can also be used for other useful functions like summoning and auto-parking the vehicle. In fact, the latest Volvo XC60 can even remotely start the engine using key fob buttons. But how exactly does it work? Locate a clean surface on which you can place the necessary items to complete this project. Then lay the fob on the work surface, with its Volvo logo facing upward. Next make use of a flathead screwdriver or coin or similar device to switch the battery hatch from the open position. Be careful not to touch the electronic contact surfaces of the fob with your tools, since this could cause the fob's key to stop functioning properly. Once the hatch is opened, slide the battery into its socket. Make sure the positive (+ side) is facing upwards. Once the clips are locked into place, remove the battery cover, and then reassemble the fob. Pressing the unlock button once will turn off the alarm and unlock the driver's side door. Pressing it again will unlock all doors and the tailgate. The unlock button can also be used to open the windows on an extremely hot day or to let in fresh air before climbing behind the wheel.

First, you must master using your key fob to fully unlock its potential. Your key fob is fitted with a transponder that has been programmed specifically for your Volvo.
