Manual blocking of the rear doors
The child safety locks prevent children from
opening a rear door from the inside.
The child safety locks are located on the trailing
edge of the rear doors and are only accessible
when the doors are open.
To activate/deactivate the child safety locks:

Use the remote control key's detachable
key blade to turn the knob, see page 52.
The door is blocked against opening from
the inside.
The door can be opened from both the
outside and the inside.
WARNING
Each rear door has two knob controls - do
not mix up the child safety lock with the
mechanical door lock.
NOTE
•A door's knob control only blocks that
particular door - not both rear doors
simultaneously.
•Cars with an electric child safety lock do
not have a manual child lock.

Alarm*
02

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.67 General
Activated alarm is triggered if:
•a door, the bonnet or the tailgate is opened
•a movement is detected in the passenger
compartment (if fitted with a movement
detector*)
•the car is raised or towed away (if fitted
with a tilt detector*)
•the battery's cable is disconnected
•the siren is disconnected.
If there is a fault in the alarm system, the infor-
mation display shows a message. In which
case, contact a workshop - an authorised
Volvo workshop is recommended.
NOTE
The movement sensors trigger an alarm in
the event of movement in the passenger
compartment - air currents are also regis-
tered. For this reason the alarm is triggered
if the car is left with a window or the sunroof
open or if the passenger compartment
heater is used.
To avoid this: Close the window/sunroof
when leaving the car. If the car's integrated
passenger compartment heater (or a porta-
ble electric heater) shall be used - direct the
airflow from the air vents so that they are not
pointing upwards in the passenger com-
partment.
NOTE
Do not attempt to repair or modify alarm
system components. All such attempts
could affect the terms of insurance.
