Alarm
The alarm is a device that warns in the event
of e.g. a break-in in the car.
Activated alarm is triggered if:
•
a door, the bonnet or the tailgate is
opened
•
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 discon-
nected
•
the siren is disconnected.
If there is a fault in the alarm system then the
information display in the combined instru-
ment panel shows a message. In which case,
contact a workshop - an authorised Volvo
workshop is recommended.
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 trig-
gered if the car is left with a window or the
sunroof open or if the passenger compart-
ment heater is used.
To avoid this: Close the window/sunroof
when leaving the car. If the car's inte-
grated passenger compartment heater (or
a portable electric heater) shall be used -
direct the airflow from the air vents so that
they are not pointing upwards in the pas-
senger compartment. Alternatively,
reduced alarm level can be used, see
Reduced alarm level (p. 187).
NOTE
Do not attempt to repair or alter compo-
nents in the alarm system yourself. Any
such attempts may affect the terms of the
insurance.
