Just bought a 2001 V70 T5 estate as the latest in a very long line of Volvos. These have included 240, 340, 360, 740 & 940.I like the V70 a lot except for the poor turning circle but thats front wheel drive foe you. The question is can I permanently disable the interior movement sensors for the alarm system. Nearly everytime I leave the car parked it has got our dogs in it, if I forget to disable the interior movement sensors I get halfway across the supermarket car park then have to go back because the alarm has gone off. I know you can temporarily turn the interior movement sensors off with the button on the dash but can I turn them off permanently or should I get rid of the dogs?

Answer:- train your dogs to behave themselves when in the car. They will respect you all the more when you return to the car and give them a reward for being well behaved.
Cheers, Peter.

The sensors are in the B Pillars at the top - just disconnect them from the loom inside the pillar. The alarm seems to work fine without them as mine did when they went wrong for a while...

Agree about the turning circle, miserable when it comes to parking in limited space.
Visit VVSPY.com for excellent advice from Swedish Volvo emploees, one of the best sites I have ever come across, quick and easy to navigate.
