bumper makes life easier when your hands
are full.

(3 feet), for opening and closing to be possi-
ble. This also applies to an already unlocked
car in order to avoid accidental opening e.g. in
a car wash.

Opening and closing with foot
movement

Kicking motion within the detector's activation area.

 slow, forward kicking motion

under the left part of the rear bumper.
Then take a step back. The bumper must
not be touched.
> A short acoustic signal sounds when

opening or closing is activated - the
tailgate is opened/closed.

If several kicking motions take place without
an approved remote control key being located
behind the car, opening will not be possible
until after a certain delay.

Do not leave your foot positioned under the
car during the kicking motion. This could
cause activation to fail.

Cancelling opening or closing with foot
movement

–

Make 

one

 slow forward kicking motion

when opening or closing is in progress in
order to stop the movement of the tail-
gate.

The remote control key does not have to be in
the vicinity of the car to cancel opening or
closing of the tailgate.

If the tailgate is stopped close to closed posi-
tion, the next activation will open the tailgate.

NOTE

There is a risk of reduced function, or no
function, if the rear bumper is loaded with
large amounts of ice, snow, dirt or similar.
For this reason, make sure you keep it
clean.

NOTE

Pay attention to the possibility that the sys-
tem may be activated in a car wash or sim-
ilar if the remote key is within range.

Private locking

The tailgate can be locked with the private
locking function which prevents it from being
opened, e.g. when the car is taken in for serv-
ice, left at a hotel or similar.

tre display function view.

button in the centre display and an optional
PIN code.

I

 as a

minimum for the private locking function to
be activated.

Private locking has two codes:

•

A security code is created the first time
the function is used.

•

A new PIN code is selected every time the
function is activated.

Enter the security code before using
for the first time

A security code needs to be selected during
the first time the function is used. It can then
be used to deactivate private locking if the
selected PIN code has been forgotten or lost.
The security code acts as a PUK code for all
subsequent PIN codes set for the private lock-
ing function.

Save the security code in a safe place.

To create a security code:

1. Press the button for private locking in the

function view.

> A pop-up window is shown.

2. Enter the preferred security code and

press 

Confirm

.

> The security code is saved. The private

locking function is now ready for activa-
tion.

If the PIN code has been forgotten or the
wrong PIN code has been entered more than
three times, the security code can be used to
deactivate private locking.

If the car is unlocked via Volvo On Call

*

 or the

Volvo On Call app, private locking will be
deactivated automatically.

Forgotten security code

If the security code has also been forgotten,
contact an authorised Volvo dealer for help
with deactivating private locking.

Alarm

*

The alarm provides audible and visual warn-
ings if anyone enters the car without a valid
remote control key or manipulates the starter
battery or alarm siren.

When armed, the alarm is triggered if:

•

a door, the bonnet or the tailgate is
opened

14

•

a movement is detected in the passenger
compartment (if fitted with a movement
detector

*

)

•

the car is raised or towed away (if fitted
with a tilt detector

*

)

•

the starter battery's cable is disconnected

•

the siren is disconnected.

Alarm signals

When the alarm has been triggered, the fol-
lowing happens:

•

A siren sounds for 30 seconds or until the
alarm is switched off.

•

Hazard warning flashers flash for
5 minutes or until the alarm is switched
off.

If the cause of alarm activation is not rectified,
the alarm cycle is repeated up to 10 times

14

.

14

Applies to certain markets.

KEY, LOCKS AND ALARM

* Option/accessory.

277

Alarm indicator

A red LED on the instrument panel indicates
the alarm system's status:

•

LED not lit – alarm not armed.

•

The LED flashes once every other second
– alarm is armed.

•

After the alarm has been disarmed, the
LED flashes rapidly for a maximum of
30 seconds or until ignition position 

I

 has

been activated - the alarm has been trig-
gered.

Movement and tilt sensors

*

Movement and tilt sensors react to move-
ments inside the car, if the window is broken
or if anyone tries to steal the wheels or tow
the vehicle away.

The movement sensor triggers an alarm in the
event of movement in the passenger compart-

ment - air currents are also registered. For this
reason the alarm is triggered if the car is left
with a window or the panoramic roof

*

 open or

if the passenger compartment heater is used.

To avoid this:

•

Close the window and panoramic roof
when leaving the car.

•

If the passenger compartment or parking
heater is to be used – direct the airflow
from the air vents so that they do not point
upwards in the passenger compartment.

Alternatively, use a reduced alarm level to
temporarily deactivate the movement and tilt
sensors.

Also switch off the movement and tilt sensors
when the car is being transported on a ferry or
train as these movements may affect the car
and trigger the alarm.

In the event of an alarm system fault

If there is a fault in the alarm system,
the driver display shows the symbol
and the message 

Alarm system

failure

 

Service required

. In which

case, contact a workshop - an authorised
Volvo workshop is recommended.

NOTE

Do not attempt to repair or alter compo-
nents in the alarm system yourself. Any
such attempts may affect the terms of the
insurance.

car being left with the alarm disarmed unin-
