The alarm is automatically armed whenever
you lock your vehicle.
When armed, the alarm continuously monitors
a number of points on the vehicle. The follow-
ing conditions will set off the alarm:
• The hood is forced open.
• The tailgate is forced open.
• A door is forced open.
• The ignition switch is tampered with.
• If there is movement in the passenger com-
partment (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.
Arming the alarm
1. Press the LOCK button on the remote key.
2. Lock the vehicle using the key blade in the
driver's door or press the central lock but-
ton on the driver's door with the door open.
One long flash of the turn signals will confirm
that the alarm is armed.
Disarming the alarm
Press the UNLOCK button on the remote key
or unlock the doors with the key blade.
Turning off (stopping) the alarm
If the alarm is sounding, it can be stopped by
pressing the UNLOCK button on the remote
key or by unlocking the driver's door with the
key blade.
Visual alarm signal
The visual alarm signal is given by flashing all
turn signals and turning on the interior lighting
for approximately 5 minutes.
Audible alarm signal
An audible alarm signal is given by a battery
powered siren. One alarm cycle lasts for
25 seconds.
"Panic" button
In an emergency situation, this feature can be
used to attract attention.
Activate the "panic" button by pressing the red
button on the remote key ( see page 125 for
illustration) for at least 3 seconds or by press-
ing this button twice within 3 seconds. The turn
signals will flash, and the vehicle's horn will
sound.
The function can be turned off by pressing any
of the buttons on the remote key or will stop
automatically after 25 seconds. When a button
is pressed, there is a 5 second delay before the
panic alarm is deactivated.
NOTE
This button will NOT unlock the vehicle.
LED alarm status signals
The status of the alarm system is indicated by
the red LED at the top of the dash:
• LED off – the alarm is not armed
• LED flashes once per second – the alarm
is armed
• LED flashes rapidly before the ignition is
switched on – the alarm has been triggered
• Fault in the alarm system: If a fault has
been detected in the alarm system, a mes-
sage will be displayed in the text window.
Contact a trained and qualified Volvo serv-
ice technician.
Automatic re-lock/re-arm system
If the vehicle is unlocked with the remote, the
vehicle will re-lock and the alarm will re-arm
after 2 minutes unless a door or the tailgate has
been opened.
