The alarm system
When the alarm is armed, it continually
monitors all alarm points.
The alarm is triggered if:
• a door, the bonnet or boot lid is opened
• the boot lid is opened
• a non-approved key is used in the
ignition or if an attempt is made to force
the lock
• movement is detected in the passenger
compartment (if a motion sensor is
fitted)
• the car is raised or towed away (if a tilt
sensor is fitted)
• the battery cable is disconnected
• anyone tries to disconnect the siren.

Alarm LED in the dashboard
An alarm LED on the dashboard (see the
illustration) shows the status of the alarm
system:
• Lamp off - the alarm is deactivated.
• The lamp flashes once a second - the
alarm is activated.
• The lamp flashes quickly after the alarm
is deactivated and until the ignition is
switched on - the alarm has been
triggered.
A message will appear in the information
display if a fault occurs in the alarm system. If
this should happen, please contact a Volvo
workshop.
If the alarm system does not function
correctly, have a Volvo workshop examine the
car.
NOTE! Do not attempt to repair or modify
alarm system components. Any such
attempts may affect the terms of insurance.
Connecting the alarm function
• 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 all doors are
locked.
Disconnecting the alarm
function
• Press the UNLOCK button on the
remote control. Two short flashes from
the car's direction indicators confirm
that the alarm has been deactivated and
that all doors are unlocked.
Automatic alarm activation
This function prevents you from accidentally
leaving the car without the alarm on.
If none of the doors or the boot lid are opened
within two minutes of the alarm being
deactivated (and the car was unlocked with
the remote control), the alarm is armed
automatically. The car locks at the same time.
