Locking/unlocking from the outside is carried out using the remote control key (p. 149). Theremote control key can lock/unlock all doorsand the tailgate simultaneously. Differentsequences for unlocking can be selected, seeRemote control key - functions (p. 151). In order that the lock sequence can be acti- vated, the driver's door must be closed - ifany of the other doors or the tailgate is open,then it/they is/are locked and the alarm isactivated only when it/they are closed. Withthe Keyless* system all the doors and tailgatemust be closed.

Manual locking of the door
In certain situations the car must be lockable manually, e.g. in the event of power failure. The left-hand front door can be locked with its lock cylinder and the remote control key'sdetachable key blade, see Keyless drive* -unlocking with the key blade (p. 162). Other doors do not have lock cylinders and instead have lock knobs on each door's endface which must be re-turned - then they aremechanically locked/blocked against openingfrom the outside. The doors can still beopened from the inside.
Manual locking of the door. Not to be mixed up with child safety locks (p. 169).
–Use the remote control key's detachable key blade to turn the knob, see Detacha-ble key blade - detaching/attaching (p.155).

Alarm
The alarm is a device that warns in the event of e.g. a break-in in the car. Activated alarm is triggered if:
• a door, the bonnet or the tailgate is opened
• a movement is detected in the passengercompartment (if fitted with a movementdetector*)
• the car is raised or towed away (if fittedwith a tilt detector*)
• the battery's cable is disconnected
• the siren is disconnected.
If there is a fault in the alarm system then the information display in the combined instru-ment panel shows a message. In which case,contact a workshop - an authorised Volvoworkshop is recommended.NOTE
The movement sensors trigger an alarm in the event of movement in the passengercompartment - air currents are also regis-tered. For this reason the alarm is trig-gered if the car is left with a window or thesunroof open or if the passenger compart-ment heater is used. To avoid this: Close the window/sunroof when leaving the car. If the car's inte-grated passenger compartment heater (ora portable electric heater) shall be used -direct the airflow from the air vents so thatthey are not pointing upwards in the pas-senger compartment. Alternatively,reduced alarm level can be used, seeReduced alarm level (p. 173).
NOTE
Do not attempt to repair or alter compo- nents in the alarm system yourself. Anysuch attempts may affect the terms of theinsurance.
Arming the alarm–Press the remote control key lock button.
Deactivate the alarm–Press the remote control key unlock but- ton.
Deactivating a triggered alarm–Press the remote control key unlock but- ton or insert the remote control key in theignition switch.
