Alarm*
The alarm alerts e.g. in the event of a break-in in
the car.
When armed, the alarm is triggered if:
•
a door, the bonnet or the tailgate is opened
19
•
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*)
•
the starter battery's cable is disconnected
•
the siren is disconnected.
If there is a fault in the alarm system,
the driver display shows the symbol
and the message
Alarm system
failure Service required. In which
case, contact a workshop - an authorised Volvo
workshop is recommended.
NOTE
Do not attempt to repair or alter components
in the alarm system yourself. Any such
attempts may affect the terms of the insur-
ance.
NOTE
The movement sensors trigger an alarm in
the event of movement in the passenger
compartment - air currents are also regis-
tered. For this reason the alarm is triggered if
the car is left with a window or the panoramic
roof* open or if the passenger compartment
heater is used.
To avoid this: Close the window/panoramic
roof when leaving the car. If the car's inte-
grated parking heater (or a portable electric
heater) shall be used - direct the airflow from
the air vents so that they are not pointing
upwards into the passenger compartment.
Alternatively, reduced alarm level can be used
- see the section further down in this article.
Arming the alarm

•
press the remote control key's lock button

.
If the car is equipped with a power-operated tail-
gate, the button on the underside of the tailgate
can also be used to lock the car and arm the car
alarm.
