The trunk is forced open.
A door is forced open.

An attempt is made to start the vehicle with a non-approved key (a key not coded to the car's ignition).
If there is movement in the passenger compartment (if the vehicle is equipped with the accessory movement sensor).
The vehicle is lifted or towed (if the vehicle is equipped with the accessory inclination sensor)
The battery is disconnected (while the alarm is armed).
The siren is disconnected when the alarm is disarmed.
A message will appear in the information display if a fault should occur in the alarm system. Contact an authorized
Volvo service technician.
NOTE
Do not attempt to repair any of the components in the alarm system yourself. This could affect the insurance policy
on the vehicle.

Temporarily disarming the alarm
Turning off the accessory alarm sensor(s)
In certain situations it may be desirable to turn off the accessory inclination and movement alarm sensors if, for
example, you drive your vehicle onto a ferry where the rocking of the boat could trigger the alarm or if a pet is left in
the vehicle with the doors locked.
Press the button shown in the illustration above (within 1 minute after the ignition has been switched off).
A message will be displayed for 10 seconds or until the vehicle is locked, indicating that the sensors are disconnected.

The accessory sensors are automatically reconnected to the alarm system the next time the vehicle is unlocked and
then locked again.
