Alarm
8300815A
Battery
Each remote transmitter is powered by a three-
volt battery, type CR 2016. If the range of the
transmitter is noticeably reduced, this indicates
that the battery is weak and should be replaced.
Replacement: Remove the battery cover on the
back of the transmitter with a coin. Replace the
battery. Reinstall the cover, making sure it is
secured tightly to help protect the transmitter.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to service or
repair any components of the alarm system
yourself. This should only be done by an
authorized Volvo retailer.
Automatic reset function
If only the driver’s door is unlocked with the
remote control, the lock will automatically
reengage (re-lock) and the alarm will reset
after 2 minutes unless the door has been
opened.
Temporarily disconnecting the
alarm sensor(s)
In certain situations it may be desirable to
disconnect the optional alarm sensors,
particularly the inclination sensor, if, for
example, you drive your car onto a ferry where
the rocking of the boat could trigger the alarm.
To temporarily disconnect the sensor(s) from
the alarm system:
•
With both doors closed, switch off the
ignition and remove the key from the
ignition switch
•
Press the locking (left) side of the central
locking button on the driver's door for at
least 3 seconds
•
The doors will first lock and then unlock
after 3 seconds to confirm that the sensors
have been disconnected
The car can then be locked in the usual way to
set the alarm.
NOTE: The sensors will automatically be
reconnected to the alarm system the next time
the ignition is switched on.
LED alarm status signals
The status of the alarm system is indicated by
the red LED at the top center of the dash:
• LED off - the alarm is not armed (set)
• LED flashes once per second - the alarm is
armed (set)
• LED flashes rapidly before the ignition is
switched on - the alarm has been triggered
• LED flashes rapidly for 15 seconds after the
ignition has been switched on - a fault has
been detected in the alarm system. Contact
a Volvo retailer.
