The alarm system
The alarm is automatically armed whenever the
vehicle is locked with the remote key or
optional Personal Car Communicator.
When armed, the alarm continuously monitors
a number of points on the vehicle. The follow-
ing conditions will trigger the alarm:
•The hood is forced open.
•The trunk is forced open
•A door is forced open.
•The ignition slot is tampered with.
•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 com-
partment (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 dis-
play if a fault should occur in the alarm system.
Contact a trained and qualified Volvo service
technician.
NOTE
Do not attempt to repair any of the compo-
nents in the alarm system yourself. This
could affect the insurance policy on the
vehicle.
The alarm indicator light
The status of the alarm system is indicated by
the red indicator light on the dashboard (see
illustration):
•Indicator light off – the alarm is not armed
•The indicator light flashes at one-second
intervals – the alarm is armed
•The indicator light flashes rapidly before
the remote key is inserted in the ignition
slot and the ignition is put in mode I—the
alarm has been triggered.
