KEY, LOCKS AND ALARM
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.
In the event of an alarm system fault
If there is a fault in the alarm system,
the driver display shows the symbol

failure Service required. In which
case, contact a workshop - an authorised
Volvo workshop is recommended.
