Alarm
*
The alarm alerts e.g. in the event of a break-in in the car.
When armed, the alarm is triggered if:
• a door, the bonnet or the tailgate is opened 18
• a movement is detected in the passenger compartment (if fitted with a movement detector
*)
• the car is raised or towed away (if fitted witha tilt detector
*)
• the starter battery's cable is disconnected or
• the siren is disconnected.
If there is a fault in the alarm system, the driver display shows the symbol and the message
Alarm system
failure Service required. In which
case, contact a workshop - an authorised Volvo workshop is recommended.
NOTE
Do not attempt to repair or alter components in the alarm system yourself. Any suchattempts may affect the terms of the insur-ance.
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 triggered ifthe car is left with a window or the panoramic roof * open or if the passenger compartment
heater is used. To avoid this: Close the window/panoramic roof when leaving the car. If the car's inte-grated parking heater (or a portable electricheater) shall be used - direct the airflow fromthe air vents so that they are not pointingupwards into the passenger compartment.Alternatively, reduced alarm level can be used- see the section further down in this article.
Arming the alarmLock and arm the car alarm as follows:
• press the remote control key's lock button
• touch in the marked area on the outside of the door handle 19
or
• push on the tailgate's rubberised pressureplate 19
.
If the car is equipped with a power-operated tail- gate, the button on the underside of the tailgatecan also be used to lock the car and arm the caralarm.
18 Applies to certain markets.
19 Only applies to a car with keyless locking/entry (Passive Entry *)

11. Start the engine in the car with the dis-
charged battery.
IMPORTANT
Do not touch the connections between cable and car during the starting attempt. There is arisk of sparks forming.
12. Remove the jump leads in reverse order -first the black and then the red. Make sure that none of the black jump lead's clamps comes into contact with the car'spositive jump-starting point/donor battery'spositive terminal or the clamp connected tothe red jump lead.
WARNING
• The battery can generate oxyhydrogen gas, which is highly explosive. A spark canbe formed if a jump lead is connectedincorrectly, and this can be enough forthe battery to explode.
• The battery contains sulphuric acid, whichcan cause serious burns.
• If sulphuric acid comes into contact witheyes, skin or clothing, flush with largequantities of water. If acid splashes intothe eyes - seek medical attention imme-diately.

Gearbox
The gearbox is part of the car's driveline (power transmission) between engine and drive wheels.The function of the gearbox is to change thegear ratio depending on speed and powerrequirements.
There are two main types of gearbox, manual and automatic. The manual gearbox has six gears. The automatic gearbox can have either eight gears or six gearsdepending on which engine the car is equippedwith. The number of gear changes means thatthe engine's torque and power range can beused effectively. It is also possible to select gears manually with the automatic gearbox. The driver display respec-tively shows which gear or gear position is cur-rently in use.
IMPORTANT
To prevent damage to any drive system com- ponents, the working temperature of thegearbox is checked. If there is a risk of over-heating, a warning symbol illuminates in thedriver display and a text message is shown -follow the recommendation given.
Symbols in the driver displayIf a fault should occur in the gearbox, the driver display shows a symbol and a message.

Starter battery
The electrical system is single-pole and uses the chassis and engine casing as a conductor. The starter battery is used to start up the electri- cal system and drive the starter motor as well asother electrical equipment in the car. The starter battery should be replaced by a workshop 13
.
The car has a voltage-regulated AC alternator. The starter battery is a 12 V AGM battery, designed for the carbon dioxide reducing func-tions, Start/Stop and regenerative charging, andto support the functionality of the car's differentsystems. The service life and function of the starter battery is influenced by factors such as the number ofstarts, discharging, driving style, driving condi-tions, climatic conditions etc. • Never disconnect the starter battery when the engine is running.
• Check that the cables to the starter batteryare correctly connected and properly tight-ened.
WARNING
•
The battery can generate oxyhydrogen gas, which is highly explosive. A spark canbe formed if a jump lead is connectedincorrectly, and this can be enough forthe battery to explode.
• The battery contains sulphuric acid, whichcan cause serious burns.
• If sulphuric acid comes into contact witheyes, skin or clothing, flush with largequantities of water. If acid splashes intothe eyes - seek medical attention imme-diately.
When connecting an external starter battery orbattery charger, use the car's charging points inthe engine compartment. The battery terminalson the car's starter battery in the cargo area must not be used.
During charging, both the starter battery and the support battery are charged.
13 An authorised Volvo workshop is recommended.
