Alarm indicator
A red LED on the instrument panel indicates
the alarm system's status:
•
LED not lit – the alarm is not armed.
•
The LED flashes once every other second
– Alarm is armed.
•
The LED flashes rapidly after disarming the
alarm and until the ignition is switched on
– the alarm has been triggered.
If there is a fault in the alarm system, a message
appears on the display. Contact an authorised
Volvo workshop.
NOTE
Do not attempt to repair or modify alarm
system components. All such attempts
could affect the terms of insurance.
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 the doors are locked.
IMPORTANT
The alarm is fully armed when the car's
direction indicators have made one long
flash and the LED on the instrument panel
flashes once every other second.
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 the doors are
unlocked.
