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)
•
the battery's cable is disconnected
05
•
anyone tries to disconnect the siren.
NOTE
When the roof is closed, the alarm functions
in the same way as when it is open, i.e.
movement detected in the passenger com-
partment triggers an alarm.

NOTE
One of the detectors for the alarm is located
under the cup holder in the centre console.
This detector is sensitive for metals.
Avoid storing coins, keys or similar metal
objects in the centre console's cup holder
as such objects could accidentally trigger
the alarm.
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 key position II is activated
– the alarm has been triggered.
If there is a fault in the alarm system, a message
appears on the display. At which point you
should contact a workshop - an authorised
Volvo workshop is recommended.
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 remote control key lock button.
A long flash from the car's direction indi-
cators 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.
