Alarm Signals - Volvo V50 Owner's Manual

Automatic alarm activation
This function prevents you accidentally
leaving the car without the alarm on.
If none of the side doors or the tailgate are
opened within two minutes of disarming the
alarm (and the car has been unlocked with
the remote control), the alarm is automatically
rearmed. The car is also locked.
Switching off a triggered alarm
– Press the UNLOCK button on the remote
control.
Confirmation is given by two short flashes
from the direction indicators.

Alarm signals

When the alarm is triggered, the following
happens:
• A siren sounds for 30 seconds. The siren
has its own battery which is used if the
car battery has insufficient charge or is
disconnected.
• The direction indicators flash for five
minutes or until the alarm is deactivated.
Remote control not working
If for some reason the remote control is not
working, the alarm can still be switched off
and the car started as follows:
– Open the driver's door with the key blade.
The alarm is triggered and the siren
sounds.
– Insert the remote control into the ignition
switch. The alarm is deactivated. The
alarm LED flashes rapidly until the ignition
key is turned to position II.
Locks and alarm
1. Deactivation of the detectors
2. No function
Temporary deactivation of the
deadlocks and detectors
To prevent the alarm being tripped errone-
ously, such as during a ferry journey, the
movement and tilt detectors can be tempo-
rarily disengaged.
– Turn the ignition key to position II and
then back to position 0. Remove the key.
– Press button (1). The LED in the button is
lit until the car is locked.
A message remains on the display as long as
the key remains in the ignition switch (and for
1 minute after the key is removed).
