Get Locks and alarm -> Alarm Guide for Volvo Xc70 SUV First Generation (1997-2007)

The alarm system (option)

When the alarm is connected, it continually monitors all alarm points.

The alarm is triggered if...

· ...the bonnet is opened.

· ...the tailgate is opened.

· ...a side door is opened.

· ...the ignition switch is turned with a non-approved key or subjected

to force.

· ...a movement is detected in the passenger compartment (if a

movement detector is installed - extra equipment).

· ...the car is lifted or towed away (if it is equipped with a tilt detector -

extra equipment).

· ...the battery cable is disconnected.

· ...anyone tries to disconnect the siren.

Activating the alarm

Press the LOCK button on the remote control. A long flash signal from

the car’s direction indicator confirms that the alarm is active and that all

doors are closed. In certain markets the key or the switch in the driver’s

door can be used to alarm the car.

Automatic arming of the alarm

In certain countries (Belgium, Israel etc.) the alarm is automatically

armed after a slight delay if the driver's door is opened and closed but

the car is not locked.

Deactivating the alarm

Press the UNLOCK button on the remote control. Two short flash

signals from the direction indicators of the car confirm that the alarm is

deactivated. In certain markets, the key can be used to deactivate the

alarm.

Alarm

Deactivating a triggered alarm

Press the UNLOCK button on the remote control if the alarm sounds and

you wish to deactivate it. Two short flashes of the direction indicators are

given as confirmation.

Alarm signals

The audio signal is given from a siren with a reserve battery. Each alarm

signal lasts 25 seconds.

If the alarm is triggered, all direction indicators flash for 5 minutes or until

you deactivate the alarm as described above.

Automatic alarm reset

If neither the side doors or rear door are opened within two minutes of the

alarm being disarmed, and the car is unlocked with the remote control, the

car automatically rearms the alarm. The car is simultaneously locked. This

function prevents you from accidentally leaving the car unalarmed.

Alarm

Status indicator lamp on the dashboard

An indicator lamp (LED) at the top of the dashboard gives a description of

the alarm system status:

· Lamp not lit: alarm is deactivated.

· The lamp flashes once every other second: the alarm is armed.

· Lamp flashes quickly, after deactivating the alarm and until the ignition

is switched on: the alarm has been triggered.

· If a fault has occurred in the alarm system, a message is shown in the

display with instructions for appropriate measures.

IMPORTANT!

Do not attempt to repair or modify alarm system components. All such

attempts can affect terms of insurance.

Temporary deactivation of detectors

To avoid triggering the alarm inadvertently, for example when leaving a

dog in the car or during a ferry crossing, the movement and tilt detectors

can be temporarily deactivated. The button can be pressed at any time

between the key being turned from position II to the car being locked, or

as long as the power to the centre console is on. The LED in the button

lights until you lock the car with your key or remote control. A message is

displayed as long as the key remains in the ignition lock. The detectors

will be reactivated the next time you switch on the ignition.

If your car is equipped with deadlocks, these will be simultaneously

activated. See page 89.
