Answer
Neil,
Turning off the alarm does not really by pass it, it turns the alarm off to allow you to start the vehicle. If the alarm works on your car as it does here in the U.S. then it should just disable the engine from cranking. In the United States we do not have the 440 so I am not sure how your vehicle works. Here if the engine cranked over and would not start I would not condem the alarm system. I would start by reading the codes in the Motronic system and go from there. The alarm relay in our S70's is in the relay box that is located left front lower corner of the windshield cowell.
