Alarm
The alarm system provides a warning if an attempt is made to break into the vehicle.
The following conditions will trigger the alarm:
- a door/hood/tailgate are opened
- the battery is disconnected
- the alarm siren is disconnected
If a problem is detected in the alarm system, a message will be displayed in the instrument panel.
Do not attempt to repair any of the components in the alarm system yourself; this could affect the insurance policy on the vehicle. Contact a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.
One of the alarm sensors, which is sensitive to metallic objects, is located under the tunnel console cup holders. Avoid leaving coins, keys, etc., in the cup holders because they may inadvertently trigger the alarm.Note
Arming the alarm
Lock the vehicle by pressing the remote key's lock button, pressing the outer indentation for locking on one of the door handles[1] or by pressing the tailgate's rubberized pressure plate[1].
If the vehicle is equipped with a power tailgate*, the button on the lower edge of the tailgate can also be used to lock the vehicle and arm the alarm.
Disarming the alarm
Turning off a triggered (sounding) alarm
- Press the remote key's unlock button or put the ignition in mode I by turning the start knob to START and releasing it.
Alarm signals
- A siren will sound for 30 seconds or until the alarm is turned off
- All turn signals flash for 5 minutes or until the alarm is turned off
If the door that triggered the alarm is left open, the alarm cycle will be repeated 10 times.

A red indicator light on the upper side of the dashboard shows the alarm's status:
- Indicator off: the alarm is disarmed
- Indicator flashes once every two seconds: the alarm is armed
- Indicator flashes quickly after the alarm has been disarmed until the ignition has been put in mode I (turn the start knob to START and release it): the alarm has been triggered
