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.

• press the remote control key's lock button
• touch in the marked area on the outside of the door handle 19
or

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:

the key can be anywhere in the car. 2. For cars with automatic gear changing, make
sure that gear position P or N is selected.
