No internal fuel release &no tailgate keyhole/inside releas
As part of the "improvements" on later models, these features are absent. Having no means to unlock the fuel flap manually is only annoying if there is a fault. Same with the tailgate..no keyhole nor inside latch like older Volvos (245, 745, 945).
Worse still the driver's door cannot be unlocked manually with the key when the battery is flat... it needs electricity to unlock, and without opening the door, the bonnet cannot be opened to attach jump leads.
Solution.. find a live wire (under the nearside front wheel) running from the battery and cut through the insulation to clip on a charger or power pack, and enough power is available to unlock everything.
