The alarm is automatically armed whenever you lock your car.
When armed, the alarm continuously monitors a number of points on the car. The following conditions will set off the
alarm:
The hood is forced open.
The trunk is forced open.
A door is forced open.
The ignition switch is tampered with.
If there is movement in the passenger compartment (if the car is equipped with the optional movement sensor).
The car is lifted or towed (if the car 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
Press the LOCK button on the remote control, lock the car using the key in the driver's door 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.
Disarming the alarm
Press the UNLOCK button on the remote control or unlock the doors with the key.
Turning off (stopping) the alarm
If the alarm is sounding, it can be stopped by pressing the UNLOCK button on the remote control or by unlocking the
driver's door with the key.
Visual alarm signal
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 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 your 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 trunk has been opened.
* The position of this button may vary, depending on the specifications of your car.
