Modern electronic key fobs offer superior convenience and performance to manual keys. Batteries will eventually get worn out and need to be changed. If your Volvo key fob has begun to work intermittently, that's a good sign that the battery is getting old and will require replacement soon.

Locate the battery hatch and make sure that it is set to "open." Make use of a flathead screwdriver, coin or any other similar tool to turn the hatch off. Next, carefully pry out the battery by lifting the side closest to the hook of the key-ring. Be sure to use rubber gloves to protect the contacts or the clips.
Once the battery has been removed, put the new one in its socket. Make sure that the positive side is facing upwards and that it is securely seated within all clips. Then, slide G28 towards the key-ring loop until it becomes loose and slides off. Take off the cover to reveal the hidden key blade.

The latest Volvo XC60 is capable of remotely starting your engine by using its key fob buttons. What exactly is it that it does?
First, locate a clean, flat surface where you can lay out all of the necessary items needed for this project. Then, lay the fob down on the surface with its Volvo logo facing upwards. Utilize a flathead, coin, or other similar tool to open the battery hatch. Be careful not to touch the electronic contact surfaces of the fob using your tools, as this can cause the key fob to stop functioning properly.
Once the hatch has been opened, place the battery into its socket. Make sure the positive (+ side) is facing upwards. After the clips are secured into place, replace the battery cover and then reassemble the fob.
By pressing the unlock button once and the alarm will removed and the driver's doors will be unlocked. By pressing it a second and then you can unlock all doors as well as the tailgate. The unlock button can also be used to open the windows on hot days or to let fresh air in before climbing behind the wheel. And if you're looking for more options, the key fob can also be used to activate ERS, which will start the system for controlling your vehicle's temperature and warm or cool it to the preferred temperature settings when the vehicle is parked.
