    Default Keylock

    I just wondered if anyone else has had the unfortunate problem of getting your keys stuck in the ignition. Is there a manual bypass system on the XC70 that anyone knows about. The only thing the (none-to-helpful) manual says is that the gear selector must be in park, which it is. The ignition key does not fully turn to the "0" position. The only thing that I can think of that I had done differently today is use the shiftlock overide.

    Welcome XCPaul,

    Perhaps this link might be of some help...and one more for good measure.

    Let us know how you make out.

    Default Problem solved

    Art,

    Thanks!! Just before I was going to go to the dealer this morning I double-checked to see if anyone had replied. It took me a few minutes but I was able to pull up the manual shift release (with the aid of a screwdriver). Amazingly I was able to return the ignition to the '0' position, and the keys came out!

    Thanks again,
    XCPaul
