Alarm - Volvo XC90 Owner's Manual

The alarm is automatically armed whenever
you lock your vehicle.
When armed, the alarm continuously monitors
a number of points on the vehicle. The follow-
ing conditions will set off the alarm:
•
The hood is forced open.
•
The tailgate is forced open.
•
A door is forced open.
•
The ignition switch is tampered with.
•
If there is movement in the passenger com-
partment (if the vehicle is equipped with
the optional movement sensor).
•
The vehicle is lifted or towed (if the vehicle
is equipped with the optional inclination
sensor).
•
The battery is disconnected (while the
alarm is armed).
•
The siren is disconnected when the alarm
is disarmed.
Arming the alarm
1. Press the LOCK button on the remote key.
2. Lock the vehicle using the key blade in the
driver's door or press the central lock but-
ton on the driver's door with the door open.
One long flash of the turn signals will confirm
that the alarm is armed.
Movement sensor*
In addition to triggering the alarm if there is
movement in the passenger compartment,
currents of air may also affect the movement
sensor. This means that locking the vehicle
with the windows or the moonroof open, or
using an accessory portable passenger com-
partment heater, could trigger the alarm.
To help avoid this, close the windows and
moonroof before locking the vehicle. If a pas-
senger compartment heater is used when the
vehicle is locked, direct airflow from the heat-
er's vent(s) so that it isn't directed upward in
the passenger compartment.
Disarming the alarm
Press the UNLOCK button on the remote key
or unlock the doors with the key blade.
Turning off (stopping) the alarm
If the alarm is sounding, it can be stopped by
pressing the UNLOCK button on the remote
key or by unlocking the driver's door with the
key blade.
Visual alarm signal
The visual alarm signal is given by flashing all
turn signals and turning on the interior lighting
for approximately 5 minutes.
05 Locks and alarm
Audible alarm signal
An audible alarm signal is given by a battery
powered siren. One alarm cycle lasts for
25 seconds.
"Panic" button
In an emergency situation, this feature can be
used to attract attention.
Activate the "panic" button by pressing the red
button on the remote key ( see page 127 for
illustration) for at least 3 seconds or by press-
ing this button twice within 3 seconds. The turn
signals will flash, and the vehicle's horn will
sound.
The function can be turned off by pressing any
of the buttons on the remote key or will stop
automatically after 25 seconds. When a button
is pressed, there is a 5 second delay before the
panic alarm is deactivated.
NOTE
This button will NOT unlock the vehicle.

The status of the alarm system is indicated by
the red LED at the top of the dash:
•
