Volvo V60 key missing, car does not start when button is pushed on Volvo V60

Problem overview

Some Volvo V60 owners report experiencing issues with their vehicle not starting when the button is pushed, often due to a weak or dead key fob battery, which may trigger a 'key not detected' alert message. Additionally, owners may need to utilize the emergency key embedded in the key fob to manually unlock the driver's door if the remote is unresponsive. Some have found that reprogramming the key fob can resolve functionality issues, although the process may vary by model and year. In cases where the key fob battery is dead, there is a hidden slot in the center console that allows the key fob to be inserted for starting the car. Furthermore, some owners report that keys can lose their pairing with the vehicle over time, necessitating a visit to the dealer for reprogramming to restore communication.
