Valet locking (option on S60/S80 only)

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2007 Volvo V70, 2006 Volvo V70, 2005 Volvo V70, 2004 Volvo V70, and 2003 Volvo V70. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The valet lock prevents access to the cargo compartment under certain conditions. If the valet lock switch is pressed down when the master key is in the ignition switch, a message ("Valet lock on") is displayed in the driver information module. The trunk lid cannot then be opened using either the remote control or switch in the trunk lid. The valet lock remains in function until the ignition is switched on using the master key and the valet lock switch is pressed. A message ("Valet lock off") is displayed in the driver information module and normal function is resumed.

The valet lock function makes it possible for the driver to store objects in the cargo compartment safely as long as the valet key is used. The valet key can be used in the driver's door and the ignition switch. It cannot be used in the glove compartment or in the emergency lock cylinder in the trunk lid.
