Thanks for the clear and concise information. I own a 2019 XC-40 in America. I will ask if it is still non functioning. Our red key has been sitting in our bedroom drawer. Now I know what it should be used for…thanks to your video.
Thanks Thomas, I have the 2024 xc 40 with the orange key, but I’ve been finding that it doesn’t appear to work as well as the black key that a family member uses, is it possible that this is the reason.
if you car would be stolen, then your insurance won't cover because you need to have all keys while claiming for the insurance refund etc. did you know about this disadvantage?
@@thom-lov when you buy a car you get 3 keys from your dealer on a departure paper, when you sign the car delivery confirmation for the dealer (2 normal + 1 red) --- so you need to have 3 keys when the car is stolen :-) of course there are nuances, but this is the reason i am not using this feature anymore when I have realised that it may be the case ;-)
That's a great idea for your teenagers. They can't get into the car until homework and chores are done 🤣. So good when you have to leave your car at the mechanic shop

Happy to help Adrienne! 😉
Thanks for making me feel like I'm not crazy as I couldn't find the menu option!
Haha yes, the very same feeling over here... Glad to be of help! :-)
Thanks for the detailed information! I was so afraid the vehicle was going to blow up or something
lol!
Is it possible to remove restrictions on red key? At least to have full level sound?
Great video :) i was just wondering what i should do with my orange key. Got my V60 t6 5 days ago :)
Appreciate it! Congrats on the new car! Cheers,

Yep the orange key succeeded the red key!

Thanks for the remarks. Assuming this depends also on the country you live in, as I am not sure how this functions in e.g. NL.. Regards,

@@przeor Clear! Thanks for explaining, I'm gonna check it out. Could prevent some serious hassle if it would happen... cheers! :-)
@@przeor they gave me 4 keys plus the red key... I would be fucked if my car got stolen. Thanx for the info 👍🏾
@@ahmedshabazz1376 Hm.... I got just 2 keys...one orange and black... usa volvo
I had no idea about any of this 😅
Now you do! 😉
I would imagine that the insurance company’s, would have something to say, if you start sharing your XC 40, with other people.
Can I order this key
This would be great if i bought a few hundred volvos and started a car rental program.
Well... you know what to do! ;-)
but can the red key be used as just another normal key?
Yes it can be! So basically figures as a 3rd key of the car at this moment.. :-)
Now this explains why the apple car play is not working when my wife unlocks the car with red key before me 😂😂
Haha!!
Hi! Imagine I'm away home and I lost my black key. Can I use my phone to unlock the car and use red/orange key to drive back home?
Yep you can funny enough 😅😄
So the red key on the XC40 is as good as the regular black key?
Pretty much! 🤔😂
