Alarm (option)
The alarm system
The alarm is automatically armed whenever the vehicle is locked with the remote control.

alarm:
The hood is forced open.
The rear liftgate is forced open.
A door is forced open.
The ignition switch 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).
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 vehicle is equipped with the optional inclination sensor)

The battery is disconnected (while the alarm is armed).
The siren is disconnected when the alarm is disarmed.
The alarm indicator light
The status of the alarm system is indicated by the indicator light on at the top of the dashboard (see illustration):
Indicator light off - the alarm is not armed
The indicator light flashes every two seconds - the alarm is armed
The indicator light flashes rapidly before the ignition is switched on - the alarm has been triggered. The message
"ALARM TRIGGERED, CHECK CAR" will also be displayed.
Fault in the alarm system: If a fault has been detected in the alarm system, a message will be shown in the
information display. Contact a trained and qualified Volvo service technician to have the alarm system inspected and
repaired if necessary.
Arming the alarm
Press the LOCK button on the remote control, or press the central lock button on one of the front doors with the door
open. One long flash of the turn signals will confirm that the alarm is armed.

flashes from the car's direction indicators confirm that the alarm has been deactivated and that all doors are unlocked.

The visual alarm signal is given by flashing all turn signals and turning on the interior lighting for approximately 5
minutes.
Temporarily turning off the accessory alarm sensor(s)
In certain situations it may be desirable to turn off the accessory inclination and movement alarm sensors if, for
example, you drive your vehicle onto a ferry where the rocking of the boat could trigger the alarm or if a pet is left in
the vehicle with the doors locked.
1. From position II or higher, turn the ignition key to 0 and remove it from the ignition switch
1.
2. Press the button (1). The LED in the button will remain on for one minute after the key has been removed from the
ignition switch or until the vehicle is locked.
1 The optional keyless drive start control does not need to be removed.
CAUTION
The accessory sensors are automatically reconnected to the alarm system the next time the vehicle is unlocked and
then locked again.
