Alarm - Volvo XC90 Owner's Manual

The alarm is automatically armed whenever
you lock your vehicle.
When armed, the alarm continuously moni-
tors a number of points on the vehicle. The
following 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
compartment (if the vehicle is equipped
with the optional movement sensor).
•
The vehicle is lifted or towed (if the vehi-
cle is equipped with the optional inclina-
tion 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
button 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
pressing 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.

This button will NOT unlock the vehicle.

the red LED at the top of the dash:
