Movement and tilt sensors*
Movement and tilt sensors react to move-
ments inside the car, if the window is broken
or if anyone tries to steal the wheels or tow
the vehicle away.
In the event of an alarm system fault
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.
Activating and deactivating

Arming the alarm
Lock and arm the car alarm as follows
The movement sensor triggers an alarm in the
event of movement in the passenger compart-
ment - air currents are also registered. For this
reason the alarm is triggered if the car is left
with a window or the panoramic roof* open or
if the passenger compartment heater is used.

Reduced alarm level*
Double lock*
WARNING
A reduced alarm level means that the move-
ment and tilt sensors are temporarily
switched off.
Switch off the movement and tilt detectors in
order to avoid accidental triggering of the
alarm - e.g. if a dog is left in a locked car or
during transport on a car train or car ferry.
Double lock means that all opening handles
are released mechanically when locking from
the outside, which makes it impossible to
open the doors from the inside.
Double lock is activated when locking with a
remote control key or with keyless locking*,
and takes place with a delay of approx.
10 seconds after the doors have locked. If a
door is opened within the delay time then the
sequence is interrupted and the alarm is deac-
tivated.
Do not allow anyone to remain in the car
without first deactivating the function in
order to avoid the risk of anyone being
locked in.
