The alarm system
When the alarm is armed, it continually
monitors all alarm inputs.
The alarm is triggered if:
• a door, the bonnet or the tailgate is
opened.
• the tailgate is opened.
• a non-approved key is used in the ignition
or if an attempt is made to force the lock.
• 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).
• a battery cable is disconnected.
• anyone tries to disconnect the siren.

Alarm LED on the dashboard
An LED on the dashboard indicates the alarm
system's status:
• LED not lit - the alarm is not armed.
• The LED flashes once a second - the
alarm is armed.
• The LED flashes rapidly after disarming
the alarm and until the ignition is switched
on - the alarm has been triggered.
If there is a fault in the alarm system, a
message appears on the information display.
Contact an authorised Volvo workshop.
