WARNING!
The convertible top must not be obstructed in any way when it is being raised or lowered.
The rear seat should not be occupied while the convertible top is being raised or lowered.
Anyone near the car should be well clear of the convertible top's moving parts before it is raised or lowered.

transmitters, which will enable you to lock/unlock both doors and the trunk from a distance of 10-15 feet (3-5 meters).
On vehicles equipped with an alarm, the alarm will also be activated/deactivated by this system.
The car can also be locked/unlocked with the key.
As an extra security precaution in certain situations (valet parking, etc.), Volvo recommends that the transmitter not be
included when the keys are given to anyone. The service key can be used instead. If one of the transmitters is
misplaced, contact the nearest authorized Volvo retailer for assistance.
Using the remote control
Press the LOCK button once to lock both doors and the trunk.
Press the UNLOCK button once to unlock the driver's door only. Press this button again (within 10 seconds) to
unlock both doors and the trunk.
Press the OPEN trunk button twice within 3 seconds to pop open the trunk.
NOTE :
If only the driver's door is unlocked, the lock will automatically re-engage (re-lock) and the alarm will reset after 2
minutes unless the door has been opened.
The lock/unlock and alarm features can also be utilized by using the keys. See page 43.
If the alarm LED glows continuously for 5 seconds, this indicates a fault in the system or that a door is not properly
closed.
To avoid leaving your keys in the car, make a habit of always locking the car with the remote control.
WARNING!
Volvo does not recommend using the transmitter to lock the doors from inside the car. On cars equipped with an
alarm, the alarm would be activated and would sound when one of the doors is opened. The doors must not be
locked using the remote transmitter while the vehicle is occupied. In case of an accident, this may hinder rapid
access to the occupants of the vehicle. The alarm will also sound on models equipped with this feature.
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following conditions: (1) This device
may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation.

pg. 46 Alarm
Automatic reset function
If only the driver's door is unlocked with the remote control, the lock will automatically re-engage (re-lock) and the
alarm will reset after 2 minutes unless the door has been opened.
Temporarily disconnecting the alarm sensor(s)
In certain situations it may be desirable to disconnect the optional alarm sensors, particularly the inclination sensor, if,
for example, you drive your car onto a ferry where the rocking of the boat could trigger the alarm.
To temporarily disconnect the sensor(s) from the alarm system:
With both doors closed, switch off the ignition and remove the key from the ignition switch
Press the locking (left) side of the central locking button on the driver's door for at least 3 seconds
The doors will first lock and then unlock after 3 seconds to confirm that the sensors have been disconnected
The car can then be locked in the usual way to set the alarm.
NOTE: The sensors will automatically be reconnected to the alarm system the next time the ignition is switched on.
LED alarm status signals
The status of the alarm system is indicated by the red LED at the top center of the dash:
LED off - the alarm is not armed (set)
LED flashes once per second - the alarm is armed (set)
LED flashes rapidly before the ignition is switched on - the alarm has been triggered
LED flashes rapidly for 15 seconds after the ignition has been switched on - a fault has been detected in the alarm
system. Contact a Volvo retailer.
