Alarm System; Arming The Alarm; Disarming The Alarm - Volvo C70 Owner's Manual

Alarm (option in certain countries)

Alarm system

When the alarm is armed, it continually
monitors all alarm inputs.
The alarm is triggered if:
• a door, the bonnet or the 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.
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
compartment triggers an alarm.
Alarm LED on the dashboard
An LED on the dashboard indicates the alarm
system's status:
• LED not lit – the alarm is not armed.
• The LED flashes once a second – the
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 information display.
Contact an authorised Volvo workshop.
If the alarm system does not function
correctly, have an authorised Volvo workshop
examine the car.
Locks and alarm
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
control. A long flash from the car's
direction indicators confirms that the
alarm is armed and that 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 the doors are
unlocked.
Automatic alarm activation
This function prevents you accidentally
leaving the car without the alarm on.
If none of the doors or the boot lid are opened
within two minutes of disarming the alarm
(and the car has been unlocked with the
remote control), the alarm is automatically
rearmed and the car is relocked.
