Entry and security -> Anti-theft for Your Volvo EX30 4 Door First Generation (2025-2026)

Note  
If the car's batteries go completely flat, it will not respond to any key.  
If the car has been turned off for a long time, it may take several seconds for it to unlock. This is because the car needs  
time to turn its systems back on, to recognise the key and to give you access.  
Locking not working  
If the car won't lock, check that all of the doors are properly closed.  
Rear doors not unlocking  
If the rear doors don't open when you pull the inner door handles, make sure the child lock isn't active and that you pull the  
handle twice. The first pull unlocks the door and the second pull opens it.  
6.4. Anti-theft  
Your car has a number of systems and features which help to make your car secure when it's locked.  
When you lock the car, some of its functions and systems are either shut down or activated to help protect the car from theft.  
For example, the alarm is automatically armed.  
Warning  
Do not leave your keys unattended in your car. They can be used to disable the security systems.  
Alarm  
The alarm is automatically armed when you lock the car and disarmed when you unlock it.  
You can adjust the alarm sensitivity in settings.  
Immobiliser  
The immobiliser is an anti-theft system that prevents your car from being driven until it is started using a valid key. If your car  
can't find the key or fails to authenticate it, your car will remain immobilised. A notification appears in the display if the key can't  
be found or has a low battery. If your car is unresponsive to a battery-powered key, try using a key card. If the car appears to  
have no power, the cause could be flat batteries or something affecting its electrical systems.  
Steering wheel lock  
Your car's steering wheel lock is automatically engaged when you lock the car. This is to prevent unauthorised driving of your  
car, such as if it's stolen. When you unlock your car, the steering wheel is also unlocked.  
Double lock

155 / 396  
The double lock feature allows you to simultaneously lock your car from the outside and the inside. This is to prevent unauthor-  
ised attempts to open the car using the inner door handles.  
There isn't a specific setting to activate or enable double locking. For double locking to take effect, you need to disable the re-  
duced alarm setting and then lock the doors as usual. The double lock system then activates after a few seconds.  
Warning  
Volvo recommends not leaving people or pets in a locked car. The driver remains responsible for the well-being and safety  
of anyone left in the car.  
Some regions have laws prohibiting people or pets being left inside a locked vehicle.  
Note  
Presence warning  
By default, the car alerts you when it suspects that there are occupants in the car when locking. When this happens, the  
car will not activate the double lock. This is intended to help you be more aware of and responsibly use double locking.  
Tip  
If the double lock is not active but occupants in the rear seats still can't exit the car, check that the child lock is disabled.  
6.4.1. Alarm  
The alarm helps deter unwanted interference with your car when it’s parked.  
The alarm is automatically enabled when you lock the car from the outside and disabled when you unlock it.  
Note  
Locking with bonnet or boot open  
If the bonnet or the boot is not properly closed when you lock the car, the alarm won't be fully enabled. In these cases,  
the alarm will only protect the side doors.  
The car also won't detect any motion inside if you've locked it with the bonnet or boot still open.  
Once you close the bonnet or boot, it will lock and be covered by the alarm.  
Triggering the alarm  
The alarm triggers when an unauthorised attempt is made to open the bonnet, boot or any door.  
Movement inside the car can also trigger the alarm.

Once the alarm is triggered, the following happens:  
The alarm warning lights flash for up to 5 minutes.  
The alarm sound starts.  
The alarm cycle restarts several times over if whatever triggered the alarm isn't resolved.  
Tip  
Alarm sensitivity  
You can turn reduced alarm sensitivity on in settings, which is especially useful if the car is parked on a ferry where it can  
be affected by external motion or vibrations.  
The alarm may also be triggered if you use a carjack, connect a trailer or have the car towed. In such cases, you should al-  
ways activate reduced alarm sensitivity.  
Stopping the alarm  
Unlocking the car while the alarm is triggered will stop any alarm sounds and warning lights.  
Important  
Do not make any changes or additions to the alarm system, or it may not work properly.  
6.4.1.1. Reducing the alarm sensitivity  
Reduce the alarm sensitivity when you expect significant movement in or around the car when parked.  
This setting is especially useful if the car is parked where it can be affected by external motion, such as when travelling on a  
ferry.  
Note  
While the reduced alarm sensitivity setting is active:  
the car won't double lock  
you can't install software updates.  
Press the car symbol  
in the bottom bar and go to Settings.
