The 30-second standby time can be eliminated if you prefer. Have it per- formed by your Saab dealer. The system is in the standby mode for a 30-second period after locking the doors with the remote transmitter. The security indicator light will flash at short intervals during this period. If any of the following actions is done during the standby period, the system will not switch to the surveillance state. Doors are unlocked using the re- mote transmitter. Any door or the rear liftgate is opened. Ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position.
The engine does not start even when the ignition switch is turned to the “START” position once the alarm sys- tem has been triggered.
¢ Disarming the system ” button (for less Briefly press the “ than two seconds) on the remote transmit- ter. The driver’s door will unlock, an elec- tronic chirp will sound twice, the turn sig- nal lights will flash twice and the indicator light will go off.
NOTE (Models with immobiliz- er) If your vehicle is equipped with an im- mobilizer, the immobilizer’s function will cause the security indicator light to flash (approximately once every three seconds) even after the system is dis- armed. NOTE The system can be disarmed by the fol- lowing method. Cycle the ignition switch from the “LOCK” to the “ON” position three times within 5 seconds. q Emergency disarming If you cannot disarm the system using the transmitter (i.e. the transmitter is lost, bro- ken or the transmitter battery is too weak), you can disarm the system without using the transmitter. 1. Unlock the door with the key and then open the door. 2. Insert the key into the ignition switch and cycle it from the “LOCK” to the “ON” position three times within 5 seconds. ¢ Valet mode When you choose the valet mode, the se- curity system does not operate. In valet mode, the remote transmitter is used only

Each rear door has a child safety lock that prevents the doors from being opened even if the inside door handle is pulled. When the child safety lock lever is in the lock position, the door cannot be opened from inside regardless of the position of the inner door handle lock lever. The door can only be opened from the outside.Always use the child safety lock whenever a child rides in the rear seat. Serious injury could result if a child accidentally opened the door and fell out.
To avoid serious personal injury caused by entrapment, you must do the following. When operating the power win- dows, be extremely careful to pre- vent anyone’s fingers, arms, neck or head from being caught in the window.
Always lock the passengers’ win- dows using the lock switch when children are riding in the vehicle. Before leaving the vehicle, always remove the key from the ignition switch for safety and never allow an unattended child to remain in the vehicle. Failure to follow this procedure could result in injury to a child operating the power win- dow.
The power windows operate only when the ignition switch is in the “ON” position.

The ignition switch has four positions: LOCK, ACC, ON and START. NOTE Keep the in the “LOCK” position when the engine is not running. Using electrical accessories for a long time with the ignition switch in the “ON” or “ACC” position can cause the battery to go dead. If the ignition switch will not move from the “LOCK” position to the “ACC” po- sition, turn the steering wheel slightly to the left and right as you turn the ig- nition switch. If the key is attached to a keyholderor to a large bunch of other keys, cen- trifugal force may act on it as the vehi- cle moves, resulting in unwanted turn- ing of the ignition switch. Also, if a large keyholder is attached to the key, your knees or hands may accidentally touch it in a way that turns the ignition switch.

¢ Seatbelt warning light
and chime
Your vehicle is equipped with a seatbelt warning device at the driver’s seat, as re- quired by current safety standards. There is a seatbelt warning light in the combina- tion meter. If the driver has not yet fastened the seat- belt when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position, the seatbelt warning light will flash for 6 seconds, to warn that the seatbelt is unfastened. If the driver’s seatbelt is not fastened, a chime will also sound simultaneously. If the driver’s seatbelt is still not fastened 6 seconds later, the warning light will re- main lit for 15 seconds. If the driver’s seat- belt is still not fastened even 15 seconds later (21 seconds after turning ON the ig- nition switch), the warning lights will alter- nate between flashing and steady illumi- nation at 15-second intervals, and the chime will sound while the warning light is flashing. Alternate flashing and steady illumination of the warning lights and sounding of the chime will continue until the driver fastens the seatbelt.
NOTE If the driver unfastens the seatbelt af- ter fastening, the seatbelt warning de- vice operates as follows according to the vehicle speed.
At speeds lower than approximate- ly 9 mph (15 km/h) The warning light will alternate be- tween flashing and steady illumina- tion at 15-second intervals. The chime will not sound. At speeds higher than approxi- mately 9 mph (15 km/h) The warning light will alternate be- tween flashing and steady illumina- tion at 15-second intervals and the chime will sound while the warning light is flashing.
It is possible to cancel the warning operation that follows the 6-second warning after turning ON the ignition switch by unfastening and refastening the driver’s seatbelt. When the ignition switch is turned ON next time, howev- er, the complete sequence of warning operation resumes. For further details about canceling the warning operation, please contact your Saab dealer.

If the CHECK ENGINE light comes on while you are driving, have your vehicle checked/repaired by your Saab dealer as soon as possible. Continued vehicle operation without having the emission control system checked and repaired as necessary could cause serious damage, which may not be covered by your vehi- cle’s warranty. If this light comes on steadily or blinks while the engine is running, it may indicate that there is a problem or potential prob- lem somewhere in the emission control system. q If the light comes on steadily: If the light comes on steadily while driving or does not go out after the engine starts, an emission control system malfunction has been detected. You should have your vehicle checked by an authorized Saab dealer immediately. NOTE This light also comes on when the fuel
filler cap is not tightened until it clicks. If you have recently refueled your vehicle, the cause of the CHECK ENGINE warning light/malfunction indicator lamp coming on could be a loose or missing fuel filler cap. Remove the cap and retighten it until it clicks. Make sure nothing is interfering with the sealing of the cap. Tightening the cap will not make the CHECK ENGINE warning light turn off immediately. It may take several driving trips. If the light does not go out, take your vehicle to your au- thorized Saab dealer immediately. q If the light is blinking: If the light is blinking while driving, an en- gine misfire condition has been detected which may damage the emission control system. To prevent serious damage to the emis- sion control system, you should do the fol- lowing.
Reduce vehicle speed. Avoid hard acceleration. Avoid steep uphill grades. Reduce the amount of cargo, if possi- ble. Stop towing a trailer as soon as pos- sible.
The CHECK ENGINE warning light may stop blinking and come on steadily after

several driving trips. You should have your vehicle checked by an authorized Saab dealer immediately.
¢ Charge warning light If this light comes on when the engine is running, it may indicate that the charging system is not working properly. If the light comes on while driving or does not go out after the engine starts, stop the engine at the first safe opportunity and check the alternator belt. If the belt is loose, broken or if the belt is in good con- dition but the light remains on, contact your nearest Saab dealer immediately.
¢ Oil pressure warning
light
If this light comes on when the engine is running, it may indicate that the engine oil pressure is low and the lubricating system is not working properly. If the light comes on while driving or does not go out after the engine starts, stop the engine at the first safe opportunity and check the engine oil level. If the oil level is low, add oil immediately. If the engine oil is at the proper level but the light remains on, contact your nearest Saab dealer im- mediately.

Do not operate the engine with the oil pressure warning light on. This may cause serious engine damage.
¢ AT OIL TEMPerature
warning light (AT vehi- cles)
The AT oil temperature warning light comes on when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position and goes out after approximately two seconds. If this light comes on when the engine is running, it may indicate that the automatic transmission fluid temperature is too hot. If the light comes on while driving, it is un- necessary to stop the vehicle, but avoid driving up steep grades or in stop and go traffic. q Automatic transmission control
system warning
If the light flashes after the engine starts, it may indicate that the automatic trans- mission control system is not working properly. Contact your nearest Saab deal- er for service immediately.
(U.S.) ¢ ABS warning light (Canada) The ABS warning light comes on when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” posi- tion and goes out after approximately two seconds. This is an indication that the ABS system is working properly.
When the warning light is on, the ABS function shuts down; however, the conentional brake system con- tinues to operate normally. If the warning light behaves as fol- lows, the ABS system may not work properly. The warning light does not come on when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position.
The warning light comes on when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position, but it does not go out even when the vehicle speed exceeds approximately 8 mph (12
km/h). The warning light comes on dur-
ing driving.
If any of these conditions occur, have the ABS system repaired at the first available opportunity by your Saab dealer. With a vehicle equipped with an Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD) system, the ABS warning light comes on together with the brake system warning light if the EBD system becomes faulty. For further details of the EBD system fault warning, refer to “Brake system warning light”. NOTE If the warning light behavior is as de- scribed in the following, the ABS sys- tem may be considered normal. The warning light comes on right af- ter the engine is started but goes out immediately, remaining off. The warning light remains on after the engine has been started, but it goes out when the vehicle speed reaches approximately 8 mph (12 km/h). The warning light comes on during driving, but it goes out immediately and remains off. When driving with an insufficient battery voltage such as when the engine is jump started, the ABS warning light may come on. This is due to the low battery voltage and does not indicate a malfunction.
A1910BE-A-GSAAB.book Page 13 Tuesday, September 6, 2005 8:37 AM
When the battery becomes fully charged, the light will go out.
¢ Brake system warning light
(U.S.) (Canada)
Driving with the brake system warning light on is dangerous. This indicates your brake system may not be working properly. If the light remains on, have the brakes inspected by a Saab dealer immediately.
If at all in doubt about whether the brakes are operating properly, do not drive the vehicle. Have your vehicle towed to the nearest Saab dealer for repair.
This light has the following three func- tions: q Parking brake warning The light comes on with the parking brake applied while the ignition switch is in the “ON” position. It goes out when the park- ing brake is fully released. q Brake fluid level warning This light comes on when the brake fluid
level has dropped to near the “MIN” level of the brake fluid reservoir with the ignition switch in the “ON” position and with the parking brake fully released. If the brake system warning light should come on while driving (with the parking brake fully released and with the ignition switch positioned in “ON”), it could be an indication of leaking of brake fluid or worn brake pads. If this occurs, immediately stop the vehicle at the nearest safe place and check the brake fluid level. If the fluid level is below the “MIN” mark in the reser- voir, do not drive the vehicle. Have the ve- hicle towed to the nearest Saab dealer for repair. q Electronic Brake Force Distribution
(EBD) system warning (vehicles with ABS)
The brake system warning light also illu- minates if a malfunction occurs in the EBD system. In that event, it comes on together with the ABS warning light. The EBD system may be malfunctioning if the brake system warning light and ABS warning light illuminate simultaneously during driving. Even if the EBD system fails, the conven- tional braking system will still function. However, the rear wheels will be more prone to locking when the brakes are ap-

plied harder than usual and the vehicle’s motion may therefore become somewhat harder to control. If the brake system warning light and ABS warning light illuminate simultaneously, take the following steps: 1. Stop the vehicle in the nearest safe, flat place. 2. Shut down the engine, then restart it. 3. Release the parking brake. If both warning lights go out, the EBD system may be faulty. Drive carefully to the near- est Saab dealer and have the system in- spected. 4. If both warning lights come on again and stay illuminated after the engine has been restarted, shut down the engine again, apply the parking brake, and check the brake fluid level. 5. If the brake fluid level is not below the “MIN” mark, the EBD system may be faulty. Drive carefully to the nearest Saab dealer and have the system inspected. 6. If the brake fluid level is below the “MIN” mark, DO NOT drive the vehicle. In- stead, have the vehicle towed to the near- est Saab dealer for repair.

On cars so equipped, the low beam head- lights are the High-Intensity Discharge type. The HID headlights generate more light than conventional halogen head- lights. Therefore a driver of an oncoming vehicle may experience too much glare when your headlight beam height adjust- ment is high due to the vehicle carrying heavy load. The headlight beam leveler can be used to adjust beam height to avoid such a con- dition. The higher the number the knob is turned to, the lower the beam becomes.

Wiper and washer
In freezing weather, do not use the windshield washer until the wind- shield is sufficiently warmed by the defroster. Otherwise the washer fluid can freeze on the windshield, blocking your view.
Do not operate the washer contin- uously for more than ten seconds, or when the washer fluid tank is empty. This may cause overheat- ing of the washer motor. Check the washer fluid level frequently, such as at fuel stops.
Do not operate the wipers when the windshield or rear window is dry. This may scratch the glass, damage the wiper blades and cause the wiper motor to burn out. Before operating the wiper on a dry windshield or rear window, al- ways use the windshield washer.
In freezing weather, be sure that the wiper blades are not frozen to the windshield or rear window be- fore switching on the wipers. At- tempting to operate the wiper with the blades frozen to the window glass could cause not only the wiper blades to be damaged but also the wiper motor to burn out. If the wiper blades are frozen to the window glass, be sure to operate the defroster, windshield wiper deicer 3 or rear window defogger before turning on the wiper.
If the wipers stop during opera- tion because of ice or some other obstruction on the window, the wiper motor could burn out even if the wiper switch is turned off. If this occurs, promptly stop the ve- hicle in a safe place, turn the igni- tion switch the “LOCK” position and clean the window glass to allow proper wiper opera- tion.
to
Use clean water if windshield washer fluid is unavailable. In ar- eas where water freezes in winter, use windshield washer fluid with adequate freeze protection. (See the “Windshield washer fluid” section in chapter 11.) Also, when driving the vehicle when there are freezing tempera- tures, use non-freezing type wiper blades.
Do not clean the wiper blades with gasoline or a solvent, such as paint thinner or benzene. This will cause deterioration of the wiper blades.
NOTE The wiper operates only when the ig- nition switch is in the “ON” or “ACC” position. Clean your wiper blades and window glass periodically with a washer solu- tion to prevent streaking, and to re- move accumulations of road salt or road film. Keep the washer button de- pressed at least for 1 second so that washer solution will be sprinkled all over the windshield or rear window. Grease, wax, insects or other materi- al on the windshield or the wiper blade

results in jerky wiper operation and streaking on the glass. If you cannot remove those streaks after operating the washer or if the wiper operation is jerky, clean the outer surface of the windshield or rear window and the wip- er blades using a sponge or soft cloth with a neutral detergent or mild-abra- sive cleaner. After cleaning, rinse the window glass and wiper blades with clean water. The glass is clean if no beads form on the glass when you rinse with water. If you cannot eliminate the streaking even after following this procedure, re- place the wiper blades with new ones. Refer to the “Replacement of wiper blades” section (chapter 11) for re- placement instructions.
