Temporarily turning off the alarm sensor(s) - accessory
This button will only be found in cars equipped with the optional inclin\
ation and/or movement sensors.
In certain situations it may be desirable to turn off the optional incli\
nation and movement alarm sensors
if, for example, you drive your car onto a ferry where the rocking of th\
e 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 (posit\
ion 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 disconnect\
ed.
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 t\
he 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:
l LED off - the alarm is not armed
l LED flashes once per second - the alarm is armed
l LED flashes rapidly before the ignition is switched on - the alarm has b\
een triggered
l 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.
