Temporarily turning off the alarm sensor(s) -option
This button will only be found in cars equipped with the optional inclination and/or movement sensors. In certain
situations it may be desirable to turn off the optional inclination and movement alarm sensors if, for example, you
drive your car onto a ferry where the rocking of the boat could trigger the alarm or if a pet is left in the car with the
doors locked.
To temporarily turn off the inclination and movement alarm sensors from the alarm system:
From the time the ignition key is turned from the Drive position (position II) until you lock the car, you can press the
button in the center console *. The LED in the switch will light up and a message will be displayed in the text window
to indicate that the sensors are disconnected.
The car can then be locked in the usual way to set the alarm. NOTE: The optional sensors are automatically
reconnected to the alarm system the next time the car is unlocked and then locked again.
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 message will be displayed in the text
window. Contact a Volvo retailer.
Automatic re-lock/re-arm system
If the car is unlocked with the remote, the car will re-lock and the alarm will re-arm after 2 minutes unless a door or
the tailgate has been opened.
* The position of this button may vary, depending on the specifications of your car.
