Alarm system
When the alarm is armed, it continually moni-
tors all alarm inputs.
The alarm is triggered if:
• a door, the bonnet or boot lid is opened
• a non-approved key is used in the ignition
or if an attempt is made to force the lock
• 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.
Alarm light on instrument panel
A light on the instrument panel indicates the
alarm system’s status:
• Light not lit – the alarm is not armed.
• The light flashes rapidly after disarming
the alarm and until the ignition is switched
on – the alarm has been triggered.
• The light flashes once per second after the
car’s direction indicators have given one
long flash – the alarm is armed.
If there is a fault in the alarm system, a mes-
sage appears on the information display.
Contact an authorised Volvo workshop.
Arming the alarm
– Press the lock button on the remote con-
trol. A long flash from the car’s direction
indicators confirms that the alarm is
armed and that all the doors are locked.
Disarming the alarm
– Press the unlock button on the remote
control. Two short flashes from the car’s
direction indicators confirm that the alarm
is disarmed and that both doors are un-
locked.
NOTE
Do not attempt to repair or modify alarm
system components. All such attempts may
affect the terms of insurance.
IMPORTANT
The alarm is fully armed when the car’s di-
rection indicators have made one long flash
and the light on the dashboard flashes once
per second.
