2000 Volvo S & V70 LED alarm status indicator Alarm The radio signal emitted from the transmitter, which is used to set/unset the alarm, is a "rolling code" signal. This means that the signal is changed randomly for each transmission and is intended to help prevent unauthorized recording of the code. When armed (set), the alarm continuously monitors a number of points on the car. The following conditions will set off the alarm: · The hood is opened · The trunk/tailgate is opened · A door is opened · The ignition switch is tampered with · The car is lifted or towed (if the car is equipped with the optional inclination sensor) · The battery is disconnected (if the car is equipped with the optional backup battery siren). The alarm will sound for ten 30 second intervals, with a 5 second pause between intervals. This function cannot be interrupted. Arming (setting) the alarm Press the LOCK button on the remote control, lock the car using the key in the driver's door or press the central lock button on one of the front doors with the door open. One long flash of the turn signals will confirm that the alarm is set. Disarming the alarm Press the UNLOCK button on the remote control or unlock the doors with the key. Turning off (stopping) the alarm If the alarm is sounding, it can be stopped by pressing the UNLOCK button on the remote control or by unlocking the driver's door with the key. If the alarm is stopped with the remote control, this will be confirmed by two short flashes from the turn signals. Visual alarm signal The visual alarm signal is given by flashing all turn signals and turning on the interior lighting for approximately 5 minutes. Audible alarm signal An audible alarm signal is given either by a separate alarm horn or by the optional back-up siren. One alarm cycle lasts for 30 seconds. http://new.volvocars.com/ownersdocs/2000/2000_SV70/00sv70_03a.htm[4/4/2013 10:24:13 PM]
