Anti-theft
When the car is locked, some functions and systems are either shut down or activated to help protect the car from theft.
Warning
Alarm
The alarm is automatically armed when you lock the car. It's also disarmed automatically when you unlock the car using the standard key's buttons or the key tag. If you unlock the door using the detachable key blade, you need to deactivate the alarm manually.
Immobiliser
The immobiliser is an anti-theft system that prevents your car from being driven until it's started using a valid key. If your car can't find the key or fails to authenticate it, your car will remain immobilised. If the key can't be found or has a low battery, a notification appears in the centre display.
Double lock
The double lock feature allows you to simultaneously lock your car from the outside and the inside. This is to prevent unauthorised attempts to open the car using the inner door handles.
It activates with a delay of a few seconds after the car is locked from the outside. Once the car is double-locked, it can't be unlocked from the inside. If a door is opened within the delay time, double lock is disabled and the alarm is deactivated.
Warning
Volvo recommends not leaving people or pets in a locked car. The driver remains responsible for the well-being and safety of anyone left in the car.
Some regions have laws prohibiting people or pets being left inside a locked vehicle.
