Headlight levelling 3
Cars with xenon headlights are equipped
with an automatic headlight levelling sys-
tem, which self-calibrates each time the
vehicle is started.
If a fault arises in the automatic headlight
levelling system, the headlights will be
angled down to avoid dazzling drivers in
oncoming traffic. Adjust your speed accord-
ingly as the range of the headlights will be
reduced. Check fuse 20 in the engine bay
fuse box (see page 252).
A fault in the system will produce the follow-
ing message on the Saab Information Dis-
play (SID):
Headlight levelling malfunction. Contact Saab dealer.
Special equipment is required for adjusting the basic headlight alignment.

Priority of audible information Sound from various functions in the car, such as the direction indicators, parking assistance and seatbelt reminders, come from the same sound source: the car’s sound system. If two or more of these func- tions are active simultaneously, the most important function at that time will be priori- tized. If, for example, the direction indicators are active when you engage reverse, the park- ing assistance (if fitted) will be heard instead of the direction indicators. When reverse is disengaged, the direction indicators will be heard, if they are still active.
Wipers and washers Windshield wipers Position 1 is a spring-loaded position that will produce a single sweep of the wipers. In position 2 you can set the delay period for intermittent wiping using the thumbwheel on the stalk switch. There are 5 delay periods from which to choose, ranging from 2 to 15 seconds. The wipers always return to their home posi- tion when the ignition is turned off. To leave the wipers positioned vertically on the windshield, proceed as follows: 1 Switch off the engine and remove the
remote control.
2 Activate the wipers within the next
16 seconds by pressing the stalk switch down.

WARNING
Turn the rain sensor off if the ignition is ON to avoid personal injury when clearing snow and ice from the windshield.
NOTICE
Turn the rain sensor off before washing the car in an automatic carwash, to avoid damaging the windshield wipers.
The rain sensor automatically controls the windshield wipers. The sensor is located on the windshield beside the rearview mirror. The system varies the frequency of wiping between single sweeps and continuous wiping, depending on the amount of pre- cipitation. Activate the rain sensor by lifting the stalk switch to the AUTO position. The wipers make one sweep for reference to see how much water is on the windshield. In the future, the sensor compares the amount of water on the windshield with this reference value.

Manual climate-control
system 3
Fresh air for the cabin is drawn in through an
inlet grille at the bottom edge of the wind-
shield. It passes through a filter before
reaching the climate control system and
delivery into the cabin. The air is evacuated
via openings in the parcel shelf. It is then led
through outlets on either side of the car
behind the rear bumper.
The incoming air is treated in three stages:
first it passes through a filter; it is then dehu-
midified and cooled; and finally, if required,
it is heated.
To optimize the performance of the A/C sys-
tem, all windows and the sunroof should be
shut.
To reduce potential misting on the insides of
the windows, the glass should be cleaned
with a quality glass cleaner. How often this
will need to be done depends on how clean
the air is - if there are smokers in the car, the
windows will need to be cleaned more fre-
quently.

(cid:127) panel and floor (cid:127) defroster, panel and floor (11 o’clock position) To counter cold drafts from the front side windows when the control has been set to defroster or floor, a small flow of air issues from the outer vents on the fascia. As the winter comfort setting, we recommend that the distribution knob be turned to
Recommended settings in severe cold On starting with a cold engine, set the fan speed to 2 or 3 and select maximum heat and defroster to heat the cabin and demist the wind- shield as quickly as possible. When the engine is warmer and the temperature gauge starts to rise, fan setting 4 may be chosen. Once the windshield is clear, the air distribution control should be turned to If the rear seat passengers desire more warmth to the feet, turn the distribution knob one step clockwise. How quickly the engine warms up will depend on how the car is driven. It will take longer for the engine to warm up if the car is driven in a high gear at low engine speeds, such as in town, than if it is driven at high engine speeds on a highway, for example. Do not use fan speed 5. This is primarily intended for rapid cooling during the summer. Using it in cold weather will delay the engine warm-up time and providing heat to the passenger compartment.

Air conditioning (A/C)
The air conditioning is combined with the conventional climate control system and is switched on by pressing the but- ton, provided that the fan control is in position 1-5. The incoming air is treated in three stages: first it passes through a filter; it is then dehu- midified and cooled; and finally, if required, it is heated. If the engine coolant gets too hot, the A/C compressor will be turned off. Convertible: When the soft top or all the windows are open in a hot, humid climate, it is recommended to switch off the air condi- tioning to save fuel. Also, if the air condition- ing is on, condensation may form on cold surfaces such as the floor air ducts.
Instruments and controls
113
Condensation water When the A/C compressor is on, the incom- ing air is dehumidified. The resulting con- densation water is drained away through an outlet under the car. It is therefore perfectly normal for water to be seen dripping from this outlet when the car is parked. The warmer the ambient air and the higher the humidity, the more con- densation will form.
Recirculation
When the button is pressed, the reg- ular air intake will be closed. In this mode, the air inside the cabin is recirculated. Use recirculation when you wish for rapid cooling at very high outside temperatures. Switch the air conditioning (A/C) on first. If necessary, recirculation can be switched on manually to avoid unpleasant air from entering the car. Only use recirculation for a short period of time at temperatures lower than 50°F (+10°C), such as to avoid unpleasant air. Mist or ice may otherwise form on the windows.
Panel vent
Air vents The air vents swivel universally, so that air can be directed as desired. In winter, for instance, the outer vents can be directed onto the door windows for enhanced demisting. The amount of air can be individually con- trolled by the regulator on each vent. If you wish to reduce the airflow, start by half- shutting the vent in question.

Automatic climate- control system (ACC) Fresh air for the cabin is drawn in through an inlet at the bottom edge of the windshield. It passes through an effective filter before reaching the climate control system and delivery into the cabin. The air is evacuated via openings in the parcel shelf. It is then led through outlets on either side of the car behind the rear bumper. The Automatic Climate-Control system (ACC) automatically maintains the desired cabin temperature, regardless of the weather outside. The system will achieve the desired temper- ature in the quickest possible way. Note that heating or cooling is not speeded up by setting the temperature higher or lower than the final tempera- ture you desire. To optimize the performance of the air con- ditioning system, all windows and the sun- roof should be shut. The air vents in the fascia must be open.

Temperature control The cabin is divided into two temperature zones: 1 Driver’s zone. 2 Passenger zone. The temperature in the rear seat will be a mixture of the two zones. If you choose the single zone setting, the entire cabin is treated as one zone. If you choose the dual zone setting, settings can be made separately for the driver’s zone and passenger zone. Select between single and dual zone set- tings under Profiler (see page 124). The cabin temperature can be set to between 58–82°F (15–27°C). In addition, HI (maximum heating and high fan speed) and LO (maximum cooling and maximum fan speed) can be selected. HI and LO can only be selected for the passenger zone if the driver has selected the same setting.
The displayed temperature is not the actual air temperature but corresponds to the comfort level normally experienced at that temperature after allowance has been made for the airflow, relative humidity, solar radiation, and so on, currently prevailing inside the car.

facing sensor detects that it is dark outside
and the rear-facing sensor detects, for
example, if the car following has not
dimmed its headlights. The rearview mirror
is then darkened to prevent the strong light
source from dazzling the driver. This dark-
ening is stepless.
The mirror returns to its normal state when
the strong light source diminishes.

Interior rearview mirror with
garage opener, autodimming
function and compass 3
WARNING
Make sure that people and objects are out of the way of moving door or gate to prevent potential harm or damage. When programming the garage opener, you may be operating a garage door or gate operator. Therefore it is advised to park outside of the garage. Do not use the garage opener with any garage door opener that lacks the safety stop and reverse feature as required by federal safety standards. (This includes any garage door opener model manufac- tured before April 1, 1982.). A garage door opener which cannot detect an object, signaling the door to stop and reverse, does not meet current federal safety standards. Using a garage door opener without these features increases risk of serious injury or death.
Preparations for first-time programming Before programming the garage opener for the first time, you must delete any factory codes. Press and hold the two outer buttons until the indicator light begins to flash-after 20 seconds. Release both buttons. Do not hold for longer that 30 seconds. The garage opener is now in the train (or learning) mode and can be programmed at any time begin- ning with "Programming" - step 2.
Programming The garage opener can record and store the frequencies of three different remote con- trols. The battery in the remote control should be fairly new for programming to work well. Do not repeat "Programming" - step two to train additional devices to a second or third button. Begin with "Programming" - step three. 1 Turn the ignition ON. 2 Press and hold the two outer buttons
(buttons one and three) - releasing only when the indicator light begins to flash (after 20 seconds). Do not hold the buttons for longer than 30 seconds and do not repeat step two to program a second and/or third hand-held transmit- ter to the remaining two buttons.
3 Position the end of your hand-held trans- mitter 1-3 inches (5-14 cm) away from the button you wish to program while keeping the indicator light in view.

Retain your original garage door opener (transmitter) for future programming proce- dures (i.e., new vehicle purchase). It is also suggested that upon the sale of the vehicle, the programmed garage opener buttons be erased for security purposes, see page 136.
93U SM 06.book Page 135 Friday, February 18, 2005 1:15 PM
4 The transmitter should face the mirror
from below or left side of the mirror.
5 Simultaneously press and hold both the
chosen and hand-held transmitter buttons. Do not release the buttons until step 5 has been completed.
Note: Some gate operators and garage door openers may require you to replace this Programming Step 4 with procedures noted in the "Gate Operator / Canadian Pro- gramming" section. 6 After the indicator light changes from a slow to a rapidly blinking light, release both the mirror and hand-held transmit- ter buttons.
7 Press and hold the just-trained button
and observe the indicator light. If the indicator light stays on constantly, programming is complete and your device should activate when the button is pressed and released.
Note: To program the remaining two but- tons, begin with "Programming" - step three. Do not repeat step two. If the indicator light blinks rapidly for two seconds and then turns to a constant light continue with "Programming" steps 7-9 to complete the programming of a rolling code equipped device (most com- monly a garage door opener). 8 At the garage door opener receiver
(motor-head unit) in the garage, locate the "learn" or "smart" button. This can usually be found where the hanging
antenna wire is attached to the motor- head unit.
9 Firmly press and release the "learn" or "smart" button. (The name and color of the button may vary by manufacturer.)
Note: There are 30 seconds in which to ini- tiate step nine. 10Return to the vehicle and firmly press, hold for two seconds and release the programmed button. Repeat the "press/hold/release" sequence a second time, and, depending on the brand of the garage door opener (or other rolling code equipped device), repeat this sequence a third time to complete the programming process. The garage opener should now activate your rolling code equipped device.
Note: To program the remaining two but- tons, begin with "Programming" - step three. Do not repeat step two.
Interior equipment
135
Gate Operator / Canadian Programming Canadian radio-frequency laws require transmitter signals to "time-out" (or quit) after several seconds of transmission - which may not be long enough for the garage opener to pick up the signal during programming. Similar to this Canadian law, some U.S. gate operators are designed to "time-out" in the same manner. If you live in Canada or you are having diffi- culties programming a gate operator by using the "Programming" procedures (regardless of where you live), replace "Programming " step 4 with the following: Note: If programming a garage door opener or gate operator, it is advised to unplug the device during the "cycling" process to pre- vent possible overheating. 4 Continue to press and hold the button while you press and release - every two seconds ("cycle") your hand-held transmit- ter until the frequency signal has success- fully been accepted by the garage opener. (The indicator light will flash slowly and then rapidly.) Proceed with "Programming" step five to complete.
NOTICE
Switch off the power supply to the garage door or gate (or park the car beyond the range of the remote control) while programming using the "cycling" method to prevent damaging the electrical motor.
Opening a garage door To operate, simply press and release the programmed button. Activation will now occur for the trained device (i.e. garage door opener, gate operator, security system, entry door lock, home/office lighting, etc.). For convenience, the hand-held transmitter of the device may also be used at any time.

Reprogramming a single button To program a device to the garage opener using a button previously trained, follow these steps: 1 Press and hold the desired button. DO
NOT release the button.
2 The indicator light will begin to flash after
20 seconds. Without releasing the button, proceed with "Programming" - step 3.
Erasing the three buttons To erase programming from the three but- tons (individual buttons cannot be erased but can be "reprogrammed" as outlined below), follow the step noted: (cid:127) Press and hold the two outer buttons until
the indicator light begins to flash-after 20 seconds. Release both buttons. Do not hold for longer that 30 seconds. The garage opener is now in the train (or learning) mode and can be programmed at any time beginning with "Programming" - step 3.
