I have a silly question. What is the little slider button for at the butt end of the keyfob? I could not find it in the owner's manual.

Below is a pic I took with my phone. It is the button that slides under the red button, which I don;t know what that does either.

Thanks,
Adam

 

Anyone? Does anyone know what this slider does??? Inquiring minds want to know.

TIA,
Adam

 

do you guys need to stick the key in the ignition to push start button or can you start the car with keys in pocket?

 

I've wondered about this too. My best guess is that when the remote was used/ designed by Volvo as a "keyless go" remote, they had a spare key in the remote itself... to manually open the door if the remote fails. There would be no need for this with the Aston, so they removed this feature, but didn't go the expense of making a new case for the remote. Of course, I could be completely wrong.

Perhaps there is a Volvo owner out there who can shed some light on this?
