Alarm indicator
A red LED on the instrument panel indicates
the alarm system's status:
•
LED not lit – the alarm is not armed.
•
The LED flashes once every other second
– Alarm is armed.
•
The LED flashes rapidly after disarming the
alarm and until the remote control key is
turned to key position II – the alarm has
been triggered.
If there is a fault in the alarm system, a message
appears on the display. In which case, contact
a workshop - an authorised Volvo workshop is
recommended.
NOTE
Do not attempt to repair or modify alarm
system components. All such attempts
could affect the terms of insurance.
