Certain Volvos have an ignition key that hides features that go beyond locking and unlocking doors. For instance the lock button may also shut the windows and moonroof, if they're equipped.

Remote opening of the tailgate is also a useful feature. Press the unlock button two times in succession. The tailgate will open and lock automatically following the second press. The same procedure can be used to close your tailgate.
The keyfobs of Volvo have a small mechanical blade that can be used as a key in an emergency. This feature is useful if you accidentally lock yourself out of your car or lose your key fob.

It could be necessary to employ a professional or dealer locksmith program the key fob to work with your vehicle. Before replacing the key fob, it's important to verify your VIN number. Otherwise, you could end up needing to replace the ignition cylinder.
Mechanical Key Blade
Unless your Volvo has a keyless start system, you'll need a mechanical key blade to unlock and open the door of the driver. This hidden mechanical key blade will still unlock your vehicle in the event that the remote key battery is out. If the mechanical key blade becomes damaged, you may have to replace it.
If you have a key blade that is mechanical on your key fob, it's best to rotate the keys often to ensure that the blade doesn't get worn out first. Keep your key fobs in good shape by cleaning them. Spraying them with WD-40 will lubricate all the moving parts.
The key fob comes with a small battery which is likely to need replacing at some moment. If you notice your key fob isn't functioning as it should get in touch with a professional for assistance. They'll help you troubleshoot the issue and determine if it's an issue with the key, the lock or another component of the security system for your car. In most cases, a technician will fix the problem at home or at their shop. They will then examine your key to confirm it is working. If your Volvo key isn't turning it could be due to an issue with the ignition cylinder or a binding column, or lock.
