WARNING


(cid:127) Do not sit with your head resting


against the side window. The inflat- able curtain is designed to inflate between the window and the head. Resting the head against the window could prevent the inflatable curtain from providing the intended protection.


(cid:127) Hang only light clothes from the hooks on the rear seat courtesy handles. The items of clothing must not contain heavy or sharp objects. Do not use wire coat hangers.


(cid:127) Do not position a sun visor or similar


item in the area that would be filled by the inflatable curtain.


(cid:127) To reduce the risk of head injuries in the event of a crash, the roof pillars and headlining incorporate cushioning material. Do not attach anything to the car’s headlining, roof pillars or side panels as this could prevent the side- impact protection from providing the intended protection.


(cid:127) Do not stack loads so high that they


could encumber the inflatable curtain in the event of a crash.


The inflatable curtains, which protect the head, are concealed along the lengths of the headlining (all the way from front to rear roof pillars). The inflatable curtains inflate at the same time as the side airbags in the front seats in case of a side-on impact. The inflatable curtains reduce the risk of head injuries to the occupants of the car’s outer seats. The inflatable curtains deploys into the window area between the front and rear roof pillars. If the airbag system registers forces equiv- alent to a high-speed frontal crash (Stage II for the steering wheel and passenger airbags), the inflatable curtains will also be deployed.

WARNING


(cid:127) If the airbag readiness light stays on after you start your vehicle, it means the airbag system may not be working properly. See page 87.


(cid:127) The airbags in your vehicle may not inflate in a crash, or they could even inflate without a crash.


(cid:127) To help avoid injury to yourself or


others, have your vehicle serviced right away if the airbag readiness light stays on after you start your vehicle.

What Will You See After an Airbag Inflates? After an airbag inflates, it quickly deflates, so quickly that some people may not even realize the airbag inflated. Some compo- nents of the airbag module - the steering wheel hub for the driver's frontal airbag, the instrument panel for the right front passen- ger's frontal airbag or the ceiling of your vehicle near the side windows - will be hot for a short time. The parts of the bag that come into contact with you may be warm, but not too hot to touch. There will be some smoke and dust coming from the vents in the deflated airbags. Airbag inflation does not prevent the driver from seeing or being able to steer the vehicle, nor does it stop people from leaving the vehicle.


Servicing the airbag system The airbag system must be inspected as part of the normal service program but oth- erwise may be regarded as maintenance- free.


(cid:127) Let only qualified technicians work on


your airbag system. Improper service can mean that your airbag system will not work properly. See your dealer for service.


Notice: If you damage the covering for the driver's or the right front passenger's airbag, or the side impact airbag cover- ing on the ceiling near the side windows, the bag may not work properly. You may have to replace the airbag module in the steering wheel, both the airbag module and the instrument panel for the right front passenger's airbag, or side impact airbag module and ceiling covering for the roof-mounted side impact airbag. Do not open or break the airbag coverings.

Safety


WARNING


When an airbag inflates, there is dust in the air. This dust could cause breathing problems for people with a history of asthma or other breathing trouble. To avoid this, everyone in the vehicle should get out as soon as it is safe to do so. If you have breathing problems but can not get out of the vehicle after an airbag inflates, then get fresh air by opening a window or a door. If you experience breathing prob- lems following an airbag deployment, you should seek medical attention.


In many crashes severe enough to inflate an airbag, windshields are broken by vehicle deformation. Additional windshield break- age may also occur from the right front pas- senger airbag. (cid:127) Airbags are designed to inflate only once.


After an airbag inflates, you will need some new parts for your airbag system. If you do not get them, the airbag system will not be there to help protect you in another crash. A new system will include airbag modules and possibly other parts. The service manual for your vehicle covers the need to replace other parts.


(cid:127) Your vehicle is equipped with a crash


sensing and diagnostic module which records information after a crash. See Vehicle Data Collection and Event Data Recorders on page 292.


Frequently asked questions on function of the airbag Do you still need to wear a safety belt if air- bags are fitted? Yes, always! The airbag system compo- nents merely supplement the car’s normal safety system. Moreover, the front airbags will only be actuated in a moderate to severe frontal, or near-frontal crash, which means, of course, that they provide no protection in minor frontal crashes, major rear- or side- crashes or if the car rolls over. The safety belts help to reduce the sideway movement of the body in a crash. But they also ensure that, if a crash occurs in which the airbags are inflated, the airbag will make the optimum contact with the occupant, i.e. square on from the front. If the occupant meets the airbag in an offset posi- tion, the protection afforded will be reduced.


Safety


45


In addition, airbags provide no protection against a secondary impact occurring in the same incident. So there is no doubt about the benefit of wearing safety belts at all times. Do not sit too close to the airbag: it needs room to inflate. The airbag inflates very quickly and power- fully in order to protect an adult, before they are thrown forward, in a serious frontal crash. How do I position the seat to leave room for the airbag to inflate? Don’t have your seat too far forward. Recline the seat back to increase the dis- tance between you and the airbag. For short drivers, special accessory pedal extensions are available through your Saab dealer. Airbags inflate extremely rapidly and with great force – to be fast enough to protect an adult in the seat.

Scrapping or working on airbag and belt pretensioners


WARNING


(cid:127) Under no circumstances should any


modifications be made that affect the steering wheel or the airbag’s electri- cal circuitry.


(cid:127) During any welding, both battery cables must be disconnected and covered.


(cid:127) Before quick drying paint in the vicinity of the electronic control module, the module’s grounding points and wiring must be covered.


(cid:127) Airbags and safety belt pretensioners


must be deployed under controlled conditions before the car is scrapped or any of the system’s components are removed. Airbags or belt pretension- ers that have been deployed as a result of a crash must be replaced by new ones.


(cid:127) Airbag-system components must


never be transferred for use in another vehicle.


(cid:127) All work involving the scrapping or


replacement of airbags or belt preten- sioners must be carried out by autho- rized personnel only.

Safety


When do the airbags in the steering wheel and passenger side of the dash board inflate? The airbag will only be inflated under certain predetermined conditions in a moderate to severe frontal, or near-frontal crash, depending on such factors as the force and angle of the impact, the speed of the car on impact, and the resistance to deformation of the impacting object. The airbag can only be activated once in the same incident. Do not attempt to drive the car after an airbag has been inflated, even if it is possi- ble.


What won’t trigger the airbag? The airbag will not be activated in all frontal crashes. For instance, if the car has hit something relatively soft and yielding (e.g. a snow drift or a hedge) or a solid object at a low impact speed, the airbag will not neces- sarily be triggered.


How loud is the inflation? The noise of the inflation is certainly loud, but it is of an very short duration and will not damage your hearing. For a short time after- wards you could experience a buzzing noise in your ears. Most people who have experienced it cannot remember the noise of the inflation at all – all they remember is the noise of the crash.


Can you still use a child seat in the front if a passenger airbag is installed? Definitely not! Children 12 and under or shorter than 55 inches (140 cm) can be killed by the air- bag. The back seat is the safest place for chil- dren. Never put a rear-facing child seat in the front. Sit as far back as possible from the airbag. Always use seat belts and child restraints.


What should I do if the AIR-BAG warning light comes on? If the warning light is on, it means that a fault has been detected in the system. The airbag cannot be relied on to operate as intended and it might even be activated erroneously. You should therefore take the car to a workshop. We recommend that you contact a Saab dealer as soon as possible.


93U SM 06.book Page 47 Friday, February 18, 2005 1:15 PM


Are the dust and fumes given off when the airbag operates at all harmful? Most people who have remained in a car with little or no ventilation for several min- utes complained only of minor irritation of the throat and eyes. Avoid as much as pos- sible getting dust on your skin as there is a risk of skin irritation. If you suffer from asthma, the incident may bring on an attack, in which case you should follow the normal procedure advised by your doctor. It is advisable to consult a doctor afterwards.


Adding Equipment to Your Airbag-Equipped Vehicle Is there anything I might add to the front or sides of the vehicle that could keep the air- bags from working properly? Yes. If you add things that change your vehi- cle’s frame, bumper system, front end or side sheet metal or height, they may keep the airbag system from working properly. Also, the airbag system may not work prop- erly if you relocate any of the airbag sen- sors. If you have any questions about this, you should contact Saab Customer Assis- tance before you modify your vehicle. The phone numbers and addresses for Cus- tomer Assistance can be found on page 290.


Safety


47


Because I have a disability, I have to get my vehicle modified. How can I find out whether this will affect my advanced airbag system? Changing or moving any parts of the front seats, safety belts, the airbag sensing and diagnostic module or the inside rearview mirror can affect the operation of the advanced airbag system. If you have ques- tions, call Customer Assistance. The phone numbers and addresses for Customer Assistance can be found on page 290.

WARNING


Leaving children or pets unattended in a locked car is dangerous. It is also danger- ous to leave children in a vehicle with the ignition key. A child or others could be badly injured or even killed.


Remote control The remote control and ignition key are inte- grated in one unit, and referred to in this manual as the remote control. The remote control contains a mechanical key, referred to in this manual as the tradi- tional key. This traditional key can be used in an emergency to lock or unlock the driver’s door from outside (see page 52). This key does not fit the ignition switch.


A key code number is supplied with your car. This number needs to be quoted for ordering a new traditional key (contained in the remote control). Therefore, keep this number in a safe place. The remote control contains an electronic code that is unique to your car. When the remote control is inserted into the ignition switch, this code is checked. If the code is incorrect, the car will not start. The car is supplied with two remote con- trols. It is possible to have up to five remote controls programmed for the car at any one time. If one is lost, a replacement should be obtained as soon as possible. We recom- mend that you contact a Saab dealer. When a new key is programmed into the car, the lost key will be deprogrammed automati- cally.


Note: If a new remote control has to be ordered and programmed, at least one old one is required for the locking system’s electronic unit to recognize the new (ordered) remote control. Once the new remote control has been pro- grammed, the old unit that is lost will not work. Therefore you should carry two remote controls separately, especially on long journeys.

can damage the soft top. This applies to car washes that use mechanical feelers bearing against the body. Saab advises against washing the Convertible in an automatic car wash.


(cid:127) After rain or washing the car, allow the soft


top to dry completely before folding it. Folding a wet or damp soft top can cause water damage in the car and mildew to form on the soft top.


WARNING


(cid:127) Never touch the hinges and struts of the soft top nor the upper rail of the windshield while operating the soft top.


(cid:127) Do not operate the soft top while there


are bystanders close to the car.


(cid:127) Roof racks and ski holders must not be


mounted on the soft top.


(cid:127) On no account should anything be put into the stowage space of the soft top (under the soft top cover) since this could cause an obstruction when the soft top is being folded away.


(cid:127) Do not place any objects on the covers


over the roll bars as this can hamper their function.


(cid:127) When operating the soft top, raise or fold


it fully until notified that operation is complete by the SID. Do not leave the soft top partially open/closed. If the soft top is left in an intermediate position it will collapse progressively after 20 seconds to prevent overloading the drive system.


(cid:127) Washing the soft top, see page 277.


Read the "Advice on soft top operation" section on page 64 before operating the soft top. The soft top is operated with the switch on the instrument panel. Hold the switch in the desired position until the soft top is fully folded or raised. The completion of folding or raising the soft top is indicated by a chime. Error messages that can appear on the SID are shown on page 73.

Head restraints


WARNING


(cid:127) Adjust the head restraint so that the head is optimally supported and the center of the head restraint is at ear height, thus reducing the likelihood of neck injury in a crash.


(cid:127) Raise the head restraints in the seats


that are occupied.


The front seats are equipped with Saab Active Head Restraints (SAHRs). These are designed to reduce the risk of neck injury if the car is hit from behind. The SAHR is a mechanical system, actu- ated by body weight. The mechanism is built into the top of the backrest, where it is con- nected to the head restraint. In the event of a rear-end crash, the body is forced back against the backrest. This, in turn, causes the mechanism to press the head restraint forward and upward, thus lim- iting the backward movement of the head.


Front head restraint


Rear head restraint


The front and rear head restraints can be raised and lowered to a number of positions. (cid:127) Raising: grasp the head restraint on both


sides and pull it straight up.


(cid:127) Lowering: Press the head restraint


forward and downward.


The rear head restraints can be fully low- ered to improve rearward vision when the rear seats are unoccupied.

Check that it is securely fastened. Position the lap part low across the hips. Grasp the shoulder belt close to the buckle and pull the belt towards the shoulder to tighten the lap belt part. The belt must be as far in on the shoulder as possible. Press the red button on the belt buckle to release the belt. Refer to page 276 for how to check the func- tion of the safety belts, cleaning, etc.


Safety belts, rear seat, Convertible


WARNING


(cid:127) If cargo has to be placed on a seat, it


must be properly secured with the safety belt. This reduces the risk of the cargo being thrown about during hard braking or a crash, which could cause personal injury.


(cid:127) Check that the belt is not twisted or


lying against sharp edges.


(cid:127) Make sure you use the correct seat-


belt buckle.


For how to secure loads on the rear seat, refer to page 17.

Rollover Pop-up Bars The Rollover Pop Up Bars, which are located behind each rear seat head restraint, are designed to deploy in the event of a crash or rollover.


WARNING


You can be severely injured or killed in a crash if you are not wearing your safety belt - even if you have airbags and Roll- over Pop Up Bars. Wearing your safety belt during a crash helps reduce your chance of hitting things inside the vehicle or being ejected from it. (cid:127) The Rollover Pop Up Bars have


powerful springs that rapidly extend the bars in rollover crashes, as well as in moderate to severe crashes in which the airbags deploy. Rollover Pop Up Bars are supplemental to the safety belts. They are designed to work with safety belts but do not replace them.


(cid:127) Rollover Pop Up Bars deploy with


great force, and you could be injured if your arm or other body part, or if an object is covering the bars when they deploy. Don't put anything on the cover of the Rollover Pop Up Bars. The path of the Rollover Pop Up Bars must be kept clear.


(cid:127) The Rollover Pop Up Bars are


designed to deploy only once. If they deploy, take your vehicle to a work- shop immediately to have the Rollover Pop Up Bars repaired so that they operate properly in the event of a crash or rollover. We recommend that you contact a Saab dealer.


NOTICE


To avoid the risk of damage to the soft top do not operated the soft top while the bars are extended.
