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 opened11
•a movement is detected in the passenger
compartment (if fitted with a movement
detector*)
•the car is raised or towed away (if fitted with
a tilt detector*)
•the starter 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 instrument
panel shows a message. In which case, contact a
workshop - an authorised Volvo workshop is rec-
ommended.
NOTE
The movement sensors trigger an alarm in
the event of movement in the passenger
compartment - air currents are also regis-
tered. For this reason the alarm is triggered if
the car is left with a window open or if the
passenger compartment heater is used.
To avoid this: Close the window when leaving
the car. If the car's integrated passenger
compartment heater (or a portable electric
heater) shall be used - direct the airflow from
the air vents so that they are not pointing
upwards in the passenger compartment.
Alternatively, reduced alarm level can be used,
Reduced alarm level* (p. 184).
NOTE
Do not attempt to repair or alter components
in the alarm system yourself. Any such
attempts may affect the terms of the insur-
ance.
