Orange Care Key
Just got my new V90 Momentum yesterday (Replacing my 3 year old one)
One major advantage is that the car now has electric Drivers seat with Memory. Really looking forward to this bit as my wife is 4'9" and I am 6'2" Managed to use the key and save my profile but the other key they give you is the orange "Care" key and I cannot save to a profile. If she sets up the car using the Orange key then the settings will stay the same when she opens next time but if I have to drive when using her key then we cannot get it back to the same settings without all the adjusting Am I missing something? |

I think you're supposed to have two "normal" keys, so where's the other one?
The red key is intended to be used by guests.

No, I think this is right, its something that annoys me a bit with my new car.
So with my previous XC90 I got two keys plus the activity key. With the new car I've got 1 normal key, one orange key and an activity key. The orange key as far as I can tell is next to useless, its there for the rare occasion that someone else drives my car and I don't want them to have the normal key (which I've always been happy for them to have in the past). I thought I could just use the orange key like a normal key, as I quite like the colour, but no, it can't be assigned to a driver profile, so no setting can be saved against it. I'm just going to have to use the normal key and the activity key, the activity key I like, but you can't use it to light the car when you're approaching in the dark etc.. Essentially, you only get one key now, and a waste of time orange key. I know you can buy additional keys, but I'm imagining they are not cheap, anyone know? :wq

Jeez. So this makes a mockery of assigning profiles to keys unless you buy another key.

Speak to the supplying dealer, I got another standard key (no leather cover) as I raised it with the salesman during handover at a reduced price.

Can’t you manually choose a different profile in sensus then? When using orange key?

It's just another one of their 'please stop dying in Volvos' strategies. I remember reading something in their blurb about it being for younger/inexperienced drivers as you can also set a speed limiter on that key.
They just don't want people who are unfamiliar with the cars doing something daft, crashing and being killed or seriously injured. |

You can buy a new key - my dealer quoted [drum roll...] £375 Cue the dealer having a bit of a think. A fair chunk of that cost is for a new key blade. However the key blade from the orange key can be swapped to the new key. Also there's a non-leather covered key available. Add a bit of discount for being a loyal customer and I think I paid c.£165 for the new key.

MY21.5 XC90 - you don’t even get the activity key anymore, just one proper one and the orange one.
