How to Turn Off the Volvo Radio Alarm?
2 Answers
After getting into the car, observe the vehicle's dashboard, where you can find the button to turn off the radio alarm near the dashboard. Once you confirm the button's location, press it to deactivate the radio alarm function of the current vehicle.
I often drive a Volvo XC60, and the sudden radio alarm going off is quite annoying—it's actually just the alarm setting that was forgotten to be turned off. After getting in the car and starting the engine, press the menu button on the steering wheel, navigate to the central control screen, and select the 'Settings' option. Look for the 'Sound Settings' or 'Alarm Management' section, where you'll find the 'Radio Alarm' function switch. Tap to turn it off, and it will stop. Sometimes, if the screen doesn’t respond, I’ll restart the infotainment system or disconnect the battery for a few minutes, but it’s best not to do this while driving—it’s too dangerous. This issue commonly occurs when the alarm time is set but not canceled. My daughter often sets a 6 AM radio alarm to wake me up, startling the whole household. I recommend drivers check their settings after each use. Volvo’s system interface isn’t the most user-friendly, but once you get familiar with it, it’s quite stable. The key is to keep the original manual handy—consulting it is the most reliable way to avoid misoperations that could damage the circuits.
