Alarm system
When the alarm is armed, it continually moni-
tors all alarm inputs.
The alarm is triggered if:
• a door, the bonnet or tailgate opens
• 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 lamp on instrument panel
A light on the instrument panel indicates the
alarm system’s status:
• Lamp not lit – the alarm is not armed.
• The lamp flashes rapidly after disarming
the alarm and until the ignition is switched
on – the alarm has been triggered.
• The lamp flashes once every other 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 confirms that the
alarm is disarmed and that both doors are
unlocked.
NOTE
Do not attempt to repair or modify alarm
system components. All such attempts
could 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.
