Alarm - General Information - Volvo S60 Owner's Manual

Opening the trunk from the inside (U.S.
models only)
The vehicle is equipped with a florescent han-
dle on the inside of the trunk lid, which can
be used in an emergency situation to open
the trunk from the inside. Pull the handle
down to release the trunk lid. After use, the
handle must be pushed back into its original
position before the trunk can be closed.
This handle is not intended to be used to
anchor the trunk lid when long loads are
being transported.
WARNING
•
Keep vehicle doors and trunk locked
and keep keys out of a child's reach.
Unsupervised children could lock
themselves in an open trunk and risk
injury. Children should be taught not to
play in vehicles.
•
On hot days, the temperature in the
trunk or vehicle interior can rise very
quickly. Exposure of people to these
high temperatures for even a short
period of time can cause heat-related
injury or death. Small children are par-
ticularly at risk.

Alarm – general information
The alarm system provides a warning if an
attempt is made to break into the vehicle.
The alarm is automatically armed (p. 158)
whenever the vehicle is locked with the
remote key.
When armed, the alarm continuously monitors
a number of points on the vehicle. The follow-
ing conditions will trigger the alarm:
•
The hood is forced open.
•
The trunk is forced open
•
A door is forced open.
•
The ignition slot is tampered with.
•
An attempt is made to start the vehicle
with a non-approved key (a key not
coded to the car's ignition).
•
The battery is disconnected (while the
alarm is armed).
•
The siren is disconnected when the alarm
is disarmed.
A message will appear in the information dis-
play if a fault should occur in the alarm sys-
tem. Contact a trained and qualified Volvo
service technician.
NOTE
Do not attempt to repair any of the compo-
nents in the alarm system yourself. This
could affect the insurance policy on the
vehicle.
