Volvo S80 among those least likely Stolen.

In a recent article published by the Assosicated Press - the Volvo S80 was ranked among those least likely to be stolen. There is no wonder why this Volvo made the list. Just take a look at it's enchanced security features.


Personal Car Communicator (PCC) standard in the V8 AWD S80
The Personal Car Communicator (PCC) is an advanced remote control providing two-way communication with your Volvo. Keep the PCC with you and the car unlocks automatically on your arrival. Start the engine with a press of a button, lock the car by pressing a button in the door handle. Later in the day, if you're wondering whether you've locked the car, your PCC can remind you; no matter where you are. And when you return to your Volvo – within a radius of approx. 200 to 328 feet – pressing the PCC information button will give you a current report on its status. And if the alarm has been activated, the onboard heartbeat sensor will give you advanced warning if there's somebody in your car and an opportunity to evaluate the situation safely. PCC can also be used to operate the other remote controlled functions – such as the central locking, alarm, security lighting and panic alarm.

Remote-controlled Central Locking System
A touch of a button locks or unlocks the doors, trunk lid or tailgate (wagons). Use the personal settings menu to decide if the remote unlocks the driver's door first or all doors together. You can also unlock the trunk/tailgate separately. Once inside, all doors can be locked swiftly using the button beside the interior door handle.

Private Locking
Private Locking is the function that allows you to keep the luggage and glove compartment locked even when you lend out your key or Personal Car Communicator (PCC). (PCC is optional on some Volvo models). To activate Private Locking, a miniature key incorporated within the remote control is used to lock the glove compartment. This stops both compartments from being unlocked with the central locking remote control, but allows the central locking system and ignition to be used as normal.

Immobilizer and Theft-protected Locks
Not only will the door locks withstand most break-in attempts, the electronic immobilizer makes it impossible to start the car without the right key. And even if a would-be thief manages to get into the car, via the window, for example, the deadlock system makes it impossible to open the door from the inside.
