Volvo: Keyless entry? CD Changer?, volvo s70, slippery surfaces


Question
Hello there,
I actually have 3 questions for you. I'm new to Volvos what can I say?! :)
I just bought a 1998 Volvo S70 from a private party yesterday, and I guess I just assumed that it had keyless entry but when I picked it up he handed me 2 keys and that was it. This may be a silly question, but is there a way for me to get it? Do I need to go to a specialist?

Secondly, I knew that there was not a CD player in my car, but I noticed yesterday that there was a changer button, when I pushed it it it said cd-changer. Was this an option it? And if so, does that mean it will be fairly easy for me to get one installed?

And lastly! (I'm sorry, I asked my boyfriend all of these questions and he didn't know either!) there are three buttons a S, E, and W button the E button is the one in use right now and I was afraid to push the others in fear of ejecting myself or my beloved out the windows. Do you know what they mean?

That's it! Thank you so much!!

Victoria,
Keyless entry should have been standard on that car. You may need a dealer to get you a remote and program it to the car. Some also have an alarm, that also can be programmed. A different remote is used with an alarm. Programming for that requires a PIN number and that the dealer will have to supply unless you received it in the paper work with the purchase.
The CD is an option, you can buy the player at the dealer for that radio and it will be controlled through the radio.
The car had a "W" for winter mode driving allowing less tire spin to accelerate on slippery surfaces. "E" is economy and "S" is sport. That allows for slightly different shifts in the Trans.
