Help, Advice, Owners' Discussion and DIY Tutorials devoted to the second generation C70, S40 and V50 Volvos -- awkwardly model year 2004 ½ onwards -- plus where to go for advice and discussion on Volvo's sporty C30 Coupe powered by Volvo's ubiquitous inline 5-cylinder power plant.
The other morning I approached my 2008 S40 T5 AWD and couldn't unlock it by pressing the button on the remote-key. When I opened the door using the metal key (hidden inside the main remote) I expected to hear the alarm go off - but the car stayed silent. I popped the hood - the battery was intact. Then, just when I wanted to insert the key into ignition I realized that the switch was in position 1, not 0. Now I can't insert the key into ignition.
I assume there was an attempt (unsuccessful) to hijack the car.
Any advice on how to bring the ignition back to 0 position?
