Alarm
The radio signal emitted from the transmitter, which is used to set/unset the alarm, is a "rolling code" signal. This
means that the signal is changed randomly for each transmission and is intended to help prevent unauthorized
recording of the code.
When armed (set), the alarm continuously monitors a number of points on the car. The following conditions will set off
the alarm:
The hood is opened
The trunk/tailgate is opened
A door is opened
The ignition switch is tampered with
The alarm will sound for 30 second intervals, with a 10 second pause between intervals. This function cannot be
interrupted.
If the battery or the siren are disconnected, the alarm will sound for five minutes
Arming (setting) the alarm

ProCarManuals.com

armed)
Disarming the alarm
Press the UNLOCK button on the remote control or unlock the driver's door 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

pg. 44 Alarm
LED alarm status signals
The status of the alarm system is indicated by the red LED at the right side 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.
Automatic relock
If only the driver's door is unlocked with the remote control, the lock will automatically reengage (re-lock) and the
alarm will be set after 2 minutes unless the door has been opened.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to service or repair any components of the alarm system yourself. This should only be
done by an authorized Volvo retailer.
Battery
Each remote transmitter is powered by a three-volt battery, type CR 2025. If the range of the transmitter is noticeably
