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. 172)
whenever the vehicle is locked with the remote
key.
When armed, the alarm continuously monitors a
number of points on the vehicle. The following
conditions will trigger the alarm:
•
The hood is forced open.
•
The tailgate 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 display
if a fault should occur in the alarm system. Con-
tact a trained and qualified Volvo service techni-
cian.
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.
