Allowing occupant locking

You can turn occupant locking on or off in the centre display. Use this feature responsibly.

Allow occupant locking is a feature designed for when you want to lock the car from the outside but still have someone inside the car. This allows you to maintain a comfortable climate in the passenger compartment. The occupants will still be able to open the car from the inside and the car's alarm sensitivity will be reduced while the feature is active.

 Warning

Volvo recommends not leaving people or pets in a locked car. By allowing occupant locking it will be possible to lock the car when it has detected people or pets inside. Certain car systems can remain active and the car doors can still be opened from within. The driver remains responsible for the well-being and safety of anyone left inside.

Double locking is intended as an anti-theft system. A few seconds after the car is locked from the outside, the double locking system will activate. Once the car is double locked you will not be able to unlock it from the inside even if you have a key inside.

Press the car symbol in the bottom bar and go to Settings.
Go to Controls → Locking.
Turn occupant locking on or off.

You turn occupant locking off in the same way as when turning it on. It resets after each drive.
