General
The alarm is triggered if:
• a door, the bonnet or the boot lid is
opened
• a non-approved key is used in the keyhole
or if force is exerted on the keyhole.
• a movement is detected in the passenger
compartment (if fitted with a movement
detector)
• the car is raised or towed away (if fitted
with a tilt detector*)
• a battery cable is disconnected.
• anyone tries to disconnect the siren.
If there is a fault in the alarm system, a mes-
sage appears on the information display.
Contact an authorised Volvo workshop.
Alarm indicator
An alarm indicator on the dashboard indi-
cates the alarm system’s status:
• lamp off – the alarm is disarmed
• the lamp flashes once a second – the
alarm is armed
• the lamp flashes rapidly after disarming
the alarm (and until the remote control key
is inserted in the ignition switch and igni-
tion position I is reached) – the alarm has
been triggered.
Arming the alarm
Press the remote control key lock button. A
long flash from the car’s direction indicators
confirms that the alarm is armed and that the
doors are locked.
The way in which the car confirms that the
alarm is armed can be adapted to your re-
quirements under

Keyless entry. For a description
of the menu system, see page 94.
NOTE
The movement detectors trigger the alarm
in the event of movements in the passenger
compartment. For this reason the alarm
could be triggered is the car is left with a
window open or if an electric passenger
compartment heater is used. To avoid this:
close the windows when leaving the car and
aim the air from the passenger compart-
ment heater so that it is not directed up into
the passenger compartment.
NOTE
Do not attempt to repair or modify alarm
system components. All such attempts
could affect the terms of insurance.
