Saab 9-3 Audio System

Antenna The antenna of the Audio System is motor- ized. Saab 9-3 Viggen Coupé and 5-door: The antenna is located on the roof.

NOTE

Remove the antenna if you wash the car in a car wash, to avoid it being damaged. For the cleaning of the motorized antenna, see the section headed "Washing", page 220. The car has a factory-fitted roof antenna for a car phone. Roof loads may negatively affect telecommunication.

Multipath interference When the radio waves from an FM transmit- ter collide with a large building, for example, they will be reflected so that they reach the car antenna slightly later than the direct waves. This is referred to as multipath dis- tortion. The effect is liable to be blamed upon malfunctions in the radio.

Accessories and other equipment must not be fitted to the surfaces marked as these are where the airbags may inflate in the event of a crash.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of head injuries in the event of a crash, the headliner and pillar trims incorporate energy absorbing mate- rial (Convertible: pillar trims and header trims). These areas must not be modified in any way. Work on these areas must only be carried out at an authorized Saab dealer.

WARNING

The CD player/CD changer is classified as Class 1 laser equipment. (cid:127) Service and repair work must only be carried out by authorized technicians.

(cid:127) If the casing is damaged, hazardous

laser radiation can occur.

Adjusting the frequency steps North America/Europe If the car is taken from Europe to North America, the radio’s frequency steps will need to be adjusted. (cid:127) With the radio off, press and hold

(mid-segment) and switch the

radio on at the same time.

The station presets will be cancelled and replaced by preset frequencies.

Fault codes

NOTE

Great care should be exercised in trying to rectify a fault. If you are at all unsure, contact an authorized Saab dealer.

The Audio System has a built-in diagnostics function. If a fault is detected, a fault code is generated to help dealer technicians to diagnose the fault. Below is an example of a fault code that you might be able to rectify yourself.

Fault code CD/CDC ERROR 12/17/19

Possible cause CD is dirty, loaded the wrong side up or defec- tive.

OnStar - Telematics

Your new vehicle comes equipped with advanced telematics hardware and one full year of Onstar Premium Service. Saab Telematics is a sophisticated in-vehicle system allowing convergence of wireless communications, GPS (Global Positioning System) satellites and advanced vehicle electronics. You must activate immediately to ensure you receive your full year of service, as your prepaid subscription begins at the time of delivery. Here’s how to activate your OnStar ser- vice: 1 Push the blue OnStar button located in

your Saab. After a prerecorded mes- sage explaining the benefits of onStar, you will be greeted by a live OnStar advi- sor. The advisor will activate your OnStar service.

2 Provide the information requested by

the advisor to activate your account and set up your personal profile. This will take approximately 10-15 minutes.

Using OnStar Welcome to OnStar. This section gives you all the information you need to get started using OnStar, including descriptions of all OnStar services. It also introduces the added services of Personal Calling, Virtual advisor, and the Onstar Subscriber website. For a complete explanation of these addi- tional services, please see pages 116, 120 and 121. NOTE: In order for OnStar to operate, the car audio system must be switched on. OnStar is Easy It’s easy to start using your OnStar system. In fact, pressing the OnStar button is usually all you need to do. Once you are connected, an OnStar advisor will help you with the ser- vices in your plan. Inoperative if battery is discharge or dis- connected. OnStar is powered by your vehicle´s battery and will not operate if the battery is dis- charged or disconnected. Potentially inoperative if vehicle is in a crash If your vehicle is in a crash, some compo- nents could be damaged or disconnected, potentially rendering OnStar inoperative.

Your onboard OnStar System consists of three buttons:

OnStar Services Button

Press this button, and you are connected to an OnStar advi- sor. You will hear a chime, fol- lowed by the words ”Connecting to OnStar.” Allow 20-30 seconds for initial con- nection to the OnStar Call Cen- ter. An advisor will then help you with any of the services included in your OnStar plan. If cellular service is unavail- able, OnStar will generate a fast busy tone. The OnStar sys- tem will retry calls a number of times before returning to the ready mode. To cancel the automatic dialing, press the White dot button.

System status light Solid Green — Indicates the OnStar system in the vehicle is powered ON and ready to make calls or receive calls from the OnStar Center. Blinking Green — The light blinks green to indicate a call is being connected or in progress. If you notice this light blinking while you are not on a call, press the White dot button. Red — This signals that your OnStar system may not be functioning properly. Press the OnStar button to attempt to con- tact an OnStar advisor. If the connection is made, the advisor will assist you in making sure your OnStar system is operating prop- erly. If you cannot contact the OnStar Cen- ter, please take your car to the nearest Saab dealer for diagnosis and service.

The OnStar Center is the heart of your ser- vice — staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with knowledgeable OnStar advisors. Even on weekends and holidays, there is always someone ready to help. OnStar uses sophisticated Global Position- ing System (GPS) satellites to locate your Saab, and wireless technology to provide the communications link and seamless inte- gration into your Saab. This system allows the OnStar advisors to pinpoint your Saab´s location precisely. This way, advisors can provide you with a range of helpful services to protect you and your Saab. Plus, with the Premium Services Plan* included for 12 months with your Saab, advisors can also access an extensive database to assist you with directions, making reservations and other convenience services. *) New retail deliveries only.

Emergency button

In an emergency, press this button to connect with an OnStar advisor. Your call will be given the highest priority, and you will hear a tone followed by the words ”Connecting to OnStar Emergency.” An advi- sor will locate your Saab, find out what kind of assistance you require, and contact the near- est emergency services pro- vider who can dispatch ambulance, fire, police or other emergency services. Please use this button only for true emergencies.

White dot button

Press this button at the end of a call. You’ll hear the words ”OnStar Request Ended.” Also, press this button to answer a call from the OnStar Center, or cancel a call if one of the other buttons is accidentally pressed. This button is also used to access OnStar Per- sonal Calling services which are described on page 116.

The OnStar Center Connecting to the OnStar center In addition to using the 3-button system found in your Saab, there are two other ways to connect to the OnStar Center. Toll-Free Call To take advantage of your OnStar services from outside your Saab, you can call OnStar toll-free at 1-888-4-OnStar (1-888-466-7827). Remember to have your Personal Identification Number (PIN) handy. Automatic Notification A priority signal will be sent to the OnStar Center with your exact location if an airbag deploys. (Vehicle electrical system and cellular service must be operable.)

Your personal identification number (PIN) When you signed up with OnStar, you were asked to provide a Personal Identification Number (PIN). You’ll need your PIN to access many of OnStar’s services. If, for example, your vehicle has been stolen, an OnStar advisor will ask for your PIN in order to provide assistance. Changing your PIN is easy. Call the OnStar Center and provide the advisor with your current number, and he or she will assist you in setting up a new number. If you have forgotten your PIN, just call the OnStar Cen- ter. For security reasons, we will send your PIN to you in the mail.

The OnStar Safety and Security Plan The OnStar Safety and Security Plan is part of the Premium Services Plan that comes with your vehicle.* With it, you have access to a complete range of services providing you with an unsurpassed level of safety and security — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. And you have it all at the touch of a button. So whether you’re on a lonesome country road or stuck in highway traffic, you have at your disposal a complete range of services providing you with unsurpassed security. And you have it all at the touch of a button. Automatic notification of air bag deployment Should your front air bags deploy, a priority signal will be sent to the OnStar Center with your Saab´s location (as long as cellular service and the vehicle’s electrical system are operable). An advisor will attempt to contact you to assess the nature of your emergency, and then notify the appropriate emergency services provider. Emergency services Should you require emergency assistance, press the red emergency button and OnStar or an advisor will contact the nearest emer- gency services provider with your exact location and your request for help. * New retail deliveries only.

Roadside assistance** There’s nothing worse than being stranded on the road with car trouble. No matter what the problem is (flat tire, out of gas, or engine trouble), just call OnStar. They will contact the help you need to get you quickly back on the road. Stolen vehicle tracking OnStar doesn’t just protect you, it protects your Saab, too. If your vehicle is ever stolen, just contact OnStar by calling 1-888-4-ONSTAR. They will put you in touch with the authorities and aid them in locating your Saab. Ask your insurance car- rier about possible premium discounts. Accident Assist™ Accident Assist™ provides step-by-step guidance about what to do in case of a crash. Working with leading insurance com- panies On Star has developed a ”best prac- tices” list to assist you through most acci- dent situations. OnStar Accident Assist™ can make the process of completing a police report and/or insurance claim less stressful.

OnStar Med-Net*** OnStar MED-NET securely stores your per- sonal medical information (e.g., physician’s name, emergency contacts, medications, chronic conditions) and, in an emergency, can quickly send it to a medical facility. This important information can help assist with diagnosis and treatment. **** **There will be no charge for Roadside Assistance as long as your vehicle is under warranty. ***Requires activation and additional fee. ****Availability in Canada was undetermined at time of pulbication. Please contact your local dealer in Canada. Hands-free communication Talking to an OnStar advisor is easy and hands-free. Simply press the OnStar but- ton, and a small microphone picks up your voice while the OnStar advisor talks to you through your stereo speakers. Note: Audio system must be switched on. You can even adjust the volume to your liking with the steering wheel controls or the radio volume knob. Your hands remain on the steering wheel, while your eyes remain on the road. Being safe on the road is important, but there’s more to life than security. There’s liv- ing. That’s why we have created the OnStar Premium Services Plan. It gives you not only the important protections of the Safety and Security Plan, but also a whole range of services which truly change driving from a chore to a luxury. All new Saab models come with one full year of the OnStar Pre- mium Services Plan.* * New retail deliveries only.

Concierge services From the simple to the extraordinary, OnStar Concierge is always ready to help. Whether it’s tickets to that ”hard-to-get” play, or even complete planning of your next vacation, OnStar Concierge can make all the arrangements you need — at home or on the road. There is no additional cost to you for the efforts of the OnStar Concierge. You will not pay more than retail value for goods and services, or current market value for tickets, specialty items or unique ser- vices. For your convenience, they will bill your credit card for any purchases and/or shipping you authorize.

Signing Up for Personal Calling As an OnStar subscriber, the Personal Call- ing capability is already built into your Saab’s OnStar hardware. In order to use this service, an OnStar advisor must set up your cellular account. You must also pro- vide a credit card in order to establish your prepaid cellular account. Usage charges will be deducted from this prepaid account of ”units.” Units are easily replenished using the credit card on file at OnStar. Once you sign up for OnStar Personal Calling, you will be given your own personal phone number that others can use to call into your Saab. To sign up for Personal Calling, simply (cid:127) Press the OnStar button in your Saab.

Inform the advisor that you would like to sign up for Personal Calling.

(cid:127) The advisor will set up your account.

You will need to provide account and credit card information.

Additional Services Personal Calling As an OnStar Safety and Security Plan or Premium Services Plan subscriber, you have access to OnStar Personal Calling. OnStar Personal Calling provides you with a nationwide wireless phone service in your Saab that you can activate simply by press- ing a button and using your voice. You can use Personal Calling in your Saab to place or to receive calls. The voice-activated system will dial the number. Your party will answer through your stereo speakers. With OnStar Personal Calling, you can enjoy the simplicity of a one-touch wireless connection. Whether you are placing or receiving a call, once you press the button, you never have to take your hands off the wheel or your eyes off the road. The ease of the hands-free communication service allows you to enjoy an even greater level of safety, security and convenience while driv- ing. This new service is not yet available in all areas. Complete availability in the U.S. is anticipated in 2001*. For system limitations and details, call OnStar at 1-800-ONSTAR-7. * Availability in Canada was undetermined at time of publication. Please contact your local dealer in Canada.

(cid:127) Voice Commands Personal Calling is made available through your voice commands to the system. This allows you to verbally control all of the phone functions. Your OnStar wireless phone system has been programmed to respond to a wide vari- ety of voices and accents. You should speak distinctly in a normal speaking vol- ume. It is not necessary to exaggerate your voice or to speak loudly. Speak numerical digits one at a time, and then wait for confir- mation before going to the next digit. Voice Command Error Messages Pardon – The system has not been able to match your command with a word that it knows. Repeating the command distinctly should fix the problem. Slower Please – Repeat the command after a short pause. This response normally happens if you say a command before the system is ready for it or if there is substantial background noise.

Universal Commands Help – The system will provide a list of avail- able commands. Clear – When you are entering digits, this command will erase the last digit entered. Cancel – This command takes you from the current function to the ”Ready” prompt. If the last response from the system was ”Ready,” this command will exit voice recognition. Placing a Call There are three ways to place a call: 1 By using a particular number, say ”DIAL” 2 By using a stored nametag, say ”CALL” 3 By dialing the last number, say

”REDIAL”
