Valet Locking Of The Cargo Compartment And Glove Compartment (Option)

Courtesy of VOLVO CARS CORPORATION

Valet locking is used to block access to the glove compartment, cargo compartment and certain functions in the car.

The key blade must be taken out of the remote key to activate this function. The function is activated by locking the glove compartment in the normal way using the key blade (turning 0 to 90 degrees) and then continuing to turn (from 90 to 180 degrees). This sets the glove compartment and trunk lid to valet mode and blocks the phone module (PHM) for outgoing calls if installed. A text message in the driver information module (DIM) indicates that the lock is active. The trunk lid cannot now be opened using the remote key or central locking switches in the doors. The key blade is kept by the customer and the remote key can be handed to valet parking attendants or workshop staff who need access to the vehicle.

This function is deactivated by inserting the key blade in the lock cylinder in the glove compartment and turning it back a quarter of a turn (from 180 to 90 degrees). The trunk lid can then be unlocked again using the remote key, central locking switch or the switch on the light switch module (LSM).
