Default 2009 S40 New to Me

My 1st Volvo 4 days ago. Safety is Expired.
I bought it as a Fixer Upper and KEEPER. (to replace/retire my 2006 Nissan Sentra)
I do have a Pre- Inspection Appointment in 3 Days; but I'd like to get a Grip on this the Best I Can.

I believe the car was sitting for a couple of months; and the Seller wasn't much help, in Offering Information; Nor Answering Questions.

The POWER Locks / Windows were Sticking = MOSTLY Not Working for Hours. - I Blasted the Heat with the Windows Opened - Now they are OK and have consistently worked for the past 3 days. ONLY BY INSIDE SWITCHES.

It got a Flat Tire in 2 Days; went to use the Socket to Pump the Tires Up and that didn't work/ BLOWN FUSE Now OK.

Washer Fluid POURED OUT! I'll have to go under to see - I suspect it's about the Pump by as Fast as it was Emptied.

Dash Warning Indicator:
Low Beam Out... (Passenger Side) Which I've Removed the Console and took the BLOWN Bulb Out. Just need to get the Replacement. There's also a Fog Light Out on the Passengers Side.

SRS URGENT Message. Not sure if I erased it by Resetting the Code with the Odometer. OUT FOR NOW.
__________________________________________________ _____
Engine Light - Code Reads Censor Circuit Low Voltage Bank 1 - which needs to be Investigated.
I Cleared the Code but it Immediately came back on. Exhaust Leak or Censor?

__________________________________________________ _____
TheONLY SINGLE FOB does Nothing- I Couldn't find a 2450 Battery at the Store today; to see it that was a Problem.
Does anyone have any Information on how to get it to work if the Battery Doesn't Solve the Problem.. Any Coding Instructions? Where I can get another FOB/KEY?

It's Also a PAIN, because I have to use the "KEY to OPEN the DOOR", and it's "SETTING OFF THE ALARM EACH TIME!"
(until I insert the Ignition Key)

I Can't get the Trunk Open and the Switch above the License Plate is Not Working. I Disconnect the PLUG from Inside the Trunk, and thought I could Jump it Open.. No Luck (Yet)
Is there a Fuse Under the Dash for the Trunk?- and Do You Know Which One.
I see now there's a TRUNK OPEN Message.. Maybe the Plug Disconnected is why? Wasn't On Before.

I'm not sure about the Car Specifications:
Engine Size ( I think it's a 2L) CC?
Generation: T-5? P1?
I don't think it's Turbo? but I cannot tell these things.
Etc.
That's going to be Very Important for me, to get Parts! I'm a bit of a Novice Mechanic. I Think I can do some of these things.
I think it also needs some Disk Pads.. if anyone wants to Suggest a Part # or Car Information.

I'm also in Canada
VIN: YV1MS382692459404
245,000 KM

Anyone that can guide me on these "BUGS", I would Appreciate it.
GREATFULLY, Thanking You All!
