Alarm

The alarm is a device that warns in the event
of e.g. a break-in in the car.
Activated alarm is triggered if:
and
•
a door, the bonnet or the tailgate is
opened
•
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
•
the siren is disconnected.
If there is a fault in the alarm system then the
information display in the combined instru-
ment panel shows a message. In which case,
contact a workshop - an authorised Volvo
workshop is recommended.
NOTE
The movement sensors trigger an alarm in
the event of movement in the passenger
compartment - air currents are also regis-
tered. For this reason the alarm is trig-
gered if the car is left with a window or the
sunroof open or if the passenger compart-
ment heater is used.
To avoid this: Close the window/sunroof
when leaving the car. If the car's inte-
grated passenger compartment heater (or
a portable electric heater) shall be used -
direct the airflow from the air vents so that
they are not pointing upwards in the pas-
senger compartment. Alternatively,
reduced alarm level can be used, see
Reduced alarm level (p. 176).
NOTE
One of the alarm sensors is located
beneath the cup holder in the centre con-
sole, this sensor is sensitive to metals.
Avoid keeping coins, keys or similar metal
objects in the cup holder in the centre con-
sole as these may cause accidental alarm
activation.
NOTE
Do not attempt to repair or alter compo-
nents in the alarm system yourself. Any
such attempts may affect the terms of the
insurance.
