Without reading the alarm codes it's hard to tell, but it'll more than likely be that the alarm siren battery has died.
There are a few threads on this across the Volvo forums, it doesn't sound like too hard a job but the new parts are £100ish. The V70 D5 I've just bought is saying the same thing, but I'm not planning on doing anything about it anytime soon - there's plenty otehr things that £100 will go to first

hope that helps
once the siren has been replaced the warning goes off,so no reset or trip to the main dealer
Speak to Martyn 'Volvokid' as his dad had to do this repair I believe.
Sorry, nothing Swedish here...
I changed mine before Xmas, not to bad a job, siren unit on an S60 (maybe same on V70) is behind drivers side headlight. it is bumper off unfortunately but still not too bad.
I had to change mine as the alarm was going off all the time at first, then not at all but i think the indicators were flashing which began to run down the car battery (a few ropey cold morning starts) made me worry enough to sort the job. Also when returning to my car sometimes it had randomly unlocked itself - drivers door only - v bizarre.
Since replacing all above problems have gone too. I got full kit from Rufe (genuine parts) and changed the alarm bonnet catch too (part of kit).
thanks for the replies chaps
would low battery voltage cause it?
i only ask that as just popped to tesco and while the wife was shopping i listened to the radio and wouldnt start after max 15 mins!!!!
going to charge up battery tomoz and check charge rates etc

Did you know the EU says that you can't claim that drinking water prevents dehydration. So now you know for sure what many of have known for years that the EU is run by a bunch of nutters.

Upper Electronic Module, can't 100% remember how to do it, try a forum search, if I find the post I'll put a link to it. It is a combination of ignition positions and holding the window switches in the up position for a set length of time.
Have a look on second post of this link:
