Alarm - Volvo XC90 TWIN ENGINE Owner's Manual

Alarm

The alarm alerts e.g. in the event of a break-in in
the car.
When armed, the alarm is triggered if:
•
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 starter battery's cable is disconnected or
•
the siren is disconnected.
If there is a fault in the alarm system,
the driver display shows the symbol
and the message Alarm system
failure Service required
case, contact a workshop - an authorised Volvo
workshop is recommended.
NOTE
Do not attempt to repair or alter components
in the alarm system yourself. Any such
attempts may affect the terms of the insur-
ance.
23 Option in certain markets.
24 Only applies to cars with keyless locking/unlocking (Passive Entry*).
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 triggered if
the car is left with a window or the panoramic
roof* open or if the passenger compartment
heater is used.
To avoid this: Close the window/panoramic
roof when leaving the car. If the car's inte-
grated parking heater (or a portable electric
heater) shall be used - direct the airflow from
the air vents so that they are not pointing
upwards into the passenger compartment.
Alternatively, reduced alarm level can be used
- see the section further down in this article.
