Volvo XC60: The alarm system
The alarm is automatically armed whenever the vehicle is locked with the remote key or optional Personal Car Communicator.
When armed, the alarm continuously monitors a number of points on the vehicle. The following conditions will trigger the alarm:
• The hood is forced open.
• The tailgate is forced open.
• A door is forced open.
• The ignition slot is tampered with.
• An attempt is made to start the vehicle with a non-approved key (a key not coded to the car's ignition).
• If there is movement in the passenger compartment (if the vehicle is equipped with the accessory movement sensor).
• The vehicle is lifted or towed (if the vehicle is equipped with the accessory inclination sensor).
• The battery is disconnected (while the alarm is armed).
• The siren is disconnected when the alarm is disarmed.
A message will appear in the information display if a fault should occur in the alarm system.
Contact a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.
NOTE
Do not attempt to repair any of the components
in the alarm system yourself. This
could affect the insurance policy on the
vehicle.

intervals – the alarm is armed
• The indicator light flashes rapidly before
the remote key is inserted in the ignition
slot and the ignition is put in mode I—the
alarm has been triggered.
