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 *)

Automatic arming/rearming of the alarm *
Automatic rearming of the alarm prevents the car being left with the alarm disarmed unintention-ally.
If the car is unlocked with the remote control key (which disarms the alarm) but none of the doorsor the tailgate is opened within two minutes, thenthe alarm is automatically re-armed. The car isrelocked at the same time. In certain markets, the alarm is re-armed auto- matically after a certain delay after the driver'sdoor has been opened and closed without beinglocked.

Ignition positions The car's electrical system can be set in different levels/positions and in this way make the differ-ent functions available.
In order to facilitate the use of a limited number of functions with the engine switched off, thecar's electrical system can be set in 3 different levels - 0, I and II. These levels are described
with the denomination "ignition position" throughout the owner's manual. The following table shows the functions available in each ignition position/level:
Level Functions
0 •Odometer, clock and temperature gauge are illuminated.
• Power seats can be adjusted.
• The power windows can be used.
• The centre display is started andcan be used.
• It is possible to start the audio.
The functions are time-controlled inthis ignition position and are switchedoff automatically after a period of time.
I •Panorama roof, power windows,12V socket in the passenger com-partment, navigation, phone, venti-lation fan and windscreen wiperscan be used.
• Power seats can be adjusted.
• 12 V sockets in the cargo areacan be used.
• The audio is started automaticallyif it was running when the car wasleft.
Power is taken from the battery inthis ignition position.Level Functions
II •The headlamps come on.
• Warning/indicator lamps illuminate for 5 seconds.
• Several other systems are acti-vated. However, heating in seatcushions and the rear window canonly be activated after the car hasbeen started.
This ignition position consumes alot of current from the battery andshould therefore be avoided!
Selecting ignition position
Start knob in the tunnel console.
• Ignition position 0
- Unlock the car and
store the remote control key inside the car.

If the message
Car key not found is shown in
the driver display when starting, place the remote control key on the backup reader in the cupholder. Then try to start again.
NOTE
When the remote control key is placed in the cup holder, make sure that no other car keys,metal objects or electronic apparatus (e.g.mobile phones, tablets, laptops or chargers)are in the cup holder. Several car keys closeto each other in the cup holder can causeinterference with each other.
IMPORTANT
If the engine fails to start after 3 attempts - wait for 3 minutes before making a furtherattempt. Starting capacity increases if the bat-tery is allowed to recover.
WARNING
Never remove the remote control key from
the car while driving or during towing.
WARNING
Always take the remote control key out from the car when leaving the car and make surethe car's electrical system is in ignition posi- tion 0 - especially if there are children in the
car.
NOTE
The idling speed can be noticeably higher than normal for certain engine types duringcold starting. This is done in order that theemissions system can reach normal operatingtemperature as quickly as possible, whichminimises exhaust emissions and protects theenvironment.

Using jump starting with another battery
If the starter battery is discharged then the car can be started with current from another battery.
When jump starting the car, the following steps are recommended to avoid short circuits or otherdamage:
1. Set the car's electrical system in ignition position 0.
2. Check that the donor battery has a voltage of 12 V.
3. If the donor battery is installed in another car - switch off the donor car's engine and make sure that the two cars do not touch eachother. 4. Connect one of the red jump lead's clamps
to the donor battery's positive terminal (1).
IMPORTANT
Connect the start cable carefully to avoid short circuits with other components in theengine compartment.
5. Open the positive jump-starting point's cover(2).
6. Connect the red jump lead's other clamp onto the car's positive jump-starting point (2).
7. Connect one of the black jump lead's clamps to the donor battery's negative terminal (3).
8. Connect the black jump lead's other clamp onto the car's negative jump-starting point(4).
9. Check that the jump lead clamps are affixed securely so that there are no sparks duringthe starting attempt.
10. Start the engine of the "donor car" and allow it to run a few minutes at a speed slightlyhigher than idle approx. 1500 rpm.

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.
