How to Start a Volvo XC90 When the Key Fob Battery is Dead?

[McAugust]

Volvo XC90 vehicles are equipped with an induction area near the steering column, glove compartment, and ignition button. When the key fob battery is dead, you can place the key close to the induction area and then press the start button to attempt starting the vehicle. If it doesn't work on the first try, adjust the key's position near the induction area and try a few more times. 1. The keyless start system utilizes radio frequency identification (RFID) technology. The chip in the smart card automatically senses and controls the door locks. When the driver approaches the vehicle within a certain distance, the door locks will automatically unlock and deactivate the anti-theft system. When the driver leaves the vehicle, the door locks will automatically lock and activate the anti-theft system. 2. Vehicles equipped with a keyless system generally have both an induction system and a key slot. This is to ensure that if the smart card is damaged or the battery dies, the owner can still unlock the doors using the traditional method.
