If you misplace your key fob or its battery dies, you may need to get it reprogrammed to function again. It’s not difficult and can be done at home.
First lay out a clean work surface. Then, you can place your key fob on the surface with the Volvo logo facing upwards. There is an option on the bottom that you can slide down and to the right. This button releases the cover that covers the key blade. The cover is held in place by two clips near the key-ring loop area. When you take off the cover the key blade mechanically is exposed beneath it.
Once you’ve removed the key fob’s cover, look for an unassuming black button on the key-ring loop. Push this button several times and you should hear the sound of a click. It may be necessary to press it a few times more to confirm an immediate click. After that, you can put the key fob back in its slot, so that the button is facing down. Press the unlock and locking buttons in succession to test the keyfob. You should listen for a click.
How to Lock and Unlock Your Vehicle

There are a few simple steps that you can take to troubleshoot your Volvo XC60 key fob when it ceases to function. First, make sure that the battery has a strong connection to the circuit board. If your key fob was exposed to clean water or rain, it may not be receiving power because the contact points have been corrosion-prone. Clean the chip using isopropyl and paper towels before reinstalling your battery.
If the key fob still not working, you should also determine whether the battery needs to be replaced. You will need a small screwdriver or coin to off the cover on the back of the key fob to expose the battery compartment. The battery inside your key fob is comparable to the watch battery and can be found in most pharmacies or grocery stores. Your Volvo dealership or auto department will instruct you how to replace the battery. The key fob should now be capable of unlocking your vehicle.
How do I change the Battery?
Volvo key fobs are designed to last a long time, but sometimes they need a new battery. If your vehicle isn’t responding to your key fob’s buttons, or if you’ve noticed that it takes longer than usual for it to open or start the car, it may be time to replace the battery.
Place your Volvo key fob first on a clean surface. Locate the button in the key-ring and slide it up few millimeters. Then you can use an appropriate screwdriver for prying off the rear edge of the fob shell. Be careful not to damage the metal contacts by gently pulling the cover off.
Install the new battery with the positive (+ side) facing upwards. Make sure you position the battery correctly before closing the shell. The battery should be flush with the other half of the fob body.
You can purchase replacement batteries for your Volvo key fob in any grocery store or pharmacy, or buy a brand new one online. Make sure you get the correct battery type for your particular model and that it’s a CR 2032 3 volt battery.
