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.

Alarm indicator
The alarm indicator shows alarm system (p. 171) status.
Same LED as lock indicator (p. 150).
A red LED on the instrument panel indicates the alarm system's status:
• LED not lit – Alarm not armed
• The LED flashes once every other second – Alarm is armed
• The LED flashes rapidly after disarmingthe alarm (and until the remote controlkey is inserted in the ignition switch andkey position
I is selected) – Alarm has
been triggered.
Alarm - automatic re-arming
Automatic re-arming of the alarm (p. 171) pre- vents the car being left with the alarm dis-armed unintentionally. If the car is unlocked with the remote control key (and the alarm is disarmed) but none ofthe doors or the tailgate is opened within 2minutes, then the alarm is automatically re-armed. The car is relocked at the same time.

Alarm - remote control key not working
If the alarm (p. 171) cannot be deactivated with the remote control key, e.g. if the key'sbattery (p. 158) is discharged - the car can beunlocked, disarmed and the engine started asfollows:
1. Open the driver's door with the detacha-
ble key blade (p. 162).
> The alarm is triggered, the alarm indi-cator (p. 172) flashes rapidly and the siren sounds.
2. Insert the remote control key in the igni- tion switch.
> The alarm is deactivated and the alarmindicator goes out.
3. Start the engine.

Alarm signals
When the alarm (p. 171) is triggered a siren sounds and all direction indicators flash. •A siren sounds for 30 seconds or until the alarm is switched off. The siren has itsown battery and works independently ofthe car battery.
• The direction indicators flash for 5minutes or until the alarm is switched off.
Reduced alarm level
Reduced guard means that the movement and tilt detectors can be temporarily deacti-vated. To avoid accidental triggering of the alarm (p. 171) - e.g. if a dog is left in a locked car orduring transport on a car train or car ferry -temporarily deactivate the movement and tiltdetectors. The procedure is the same as with the tem- porary disengaging of deadlocks (p. 168) 5

Speed limiter* - changing speed
A (Speed Limiter) can be regarded as a reverse cruise control - the driver regulatesthe speed using the accelerator pedal but isprevented from accidentally exceeding a pre-selected/set speed by the speed limiter. To change the stored speed: •
Adjust with short presses on
or -
every press gives +/- 5 km/h. The last presses made are stored in the memory.
To adjust +/- 1 km/h: • Hold the button depressed and release when the combined instrument panelshows a mark (5) by the desired maxi-mum speed.

Temporary deactivation - standby modeTo temporarily deactivate the speed limiterand set it in standby mode:
–Press .
> The mark (5) in the combined instru- ment panel changes colour from GREEN to WHITE and the driver cantemporarily exceed the set maximumspeed. The speed limiter is reactivated with one press on
. The mark (5) then

Speed limiter* - alarm for speed exceeded
A (Speed Limiter) can be regarded as a reverse cruise control - the driver regulatesthe speed using the accelerator pedal but isprevented from accidentally exceeding apre-selected/set speed by the speed limiter. On a steep downhill gradient the speed limit- er's engine braking effect may be inadequateand the selected maximum speed is excee-ded. The driver is alerted about this with anacoustic signal. The signal is active until the driver has slowed to below the selected maximum speed.
NOTE
The alarm is only activated after 5 seconds if the speed has been exceeded by at least3 km/h provided that none of the buttons
or has been depressed during the
last half minute.

–Press the steering wheel button .
> The combined instrument panel's sym- bol for the speed limiter (6) and the mark for the set speed (5) are extin-guished. The selected and storedspeed are thus deleted from the mem-ory and cannot be resumed with the
button.
The driver can then use the accelerator pedal to choose a speed without limi-tation.
