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.
