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.

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.
