Triggering The Alarm

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2013 Volvo C70, 2012 Volvo C70, 2011 Volvo C70, 2010 Volvo C70, and 2009 Volvo C70. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

If the alarm is in activated mode and the central electronic module (CEM) receives an indication from a sensor, an alarm cycle is started. An alarm cycle means that the siren starts sounding and the turn signal indicators start flashing. The siren sounds for approximately 25 seconds and then stops. However, the turn signal lamps continue to flash for approximately a further 5 minutes.

When the siren has fallen silent the central electronic module (CEM) checks the sensors that should be active in the vehicle. If the sensors are OK the alarm will be reactivated. If there is a fault in one of the sensors this will be "discounted" by the central electronic module (CEM) on reactivation. The exception is cars for the British market. See MARKET ADAPTATIONS . After this the alarm can be triggered again when necessary.
