Alarm indicator
A red LED on the instrument panel indicates the
alarm system's status:
LED not lit – alarm not armed.
•
The LED flashes once every other second –
•
alarm is armed.
After the alarm has been disarmed, the LED
•
flashes rapidly for a maximum of 30 seconds
or until ignition position I has been activated
- the alarm has been triggered.
Movement and tilt sensors*
Movement and tilt sensors react to movements
inside the car, if the window is broken or if any-
one tries to steal the wheels or tow the vehicle
away.
The movement sensor triggers an alarm in the
event of movement in the passenger compart-
ment - air currents are also registered. For this
reason the alarm is triggered if the car is left with
a window or the panoramic roof* open or if the
passenger compartment heater is used.
To avoid this:
Close the window and panoramic roof when
•
leaving the car.
If the passenger compartment or parking
•
heater is to be used – direct the airflow from
the air vents so that they do not point
upwards in the passenger compartment.
Alternatively, use a reduced alarm level to tempo-
rarily deactivate the movement and tilt sensors.
Also switch off the movement and tilt sensors
when the car is being transported on a ferry or
train as these movements may affect the car and
trigger the alarm.
In the event of an alarm system fault
If there is a fault in the alarm system,
the driver display shows the symbol
and the message Alarm system
failure Service required
case, contact a workshop - an authorised Volvo
workshop is recommended.
NOTE
Do not attempt to repair or alter components
in the alarm system yourself. Any such
attempts may affect the terms of the insur-
ance.
