Multipath propagation Multipath propagation occurs when radio waves from an FM transmitter are reflected by, e.g. large buildings, causing them to arrive slightly later than the direct waves. This can create interference to radio recep- tion. To avoid this problem as much as pos- sible the system is equipped with two FM antennas, so called FM diversity.

Antennas The Audio System has three antennas incorporated in the rear window; two for FM diversity and one for AM.

NOTICE

Refrain from placing hard or sharp objects on the rear parcel shelf, to avoid damaging the antenna leads. Do not use sun protective film which con- tains metal particles on the rear window, this can be the cause of radio interfer- ence.

The car has a factory-fitted roof antenna for a mobile phone/OnStar. Roof loads may negatively affect telecommunication.

Accessories and other equipment must not be fitted to the surfaces marked as these are where the airbags 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. These areas must not be modified in any way. Work on these areas must only be carried out at an authorized Saab dealer.

NOTICE

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 are the codes for some faults that you might be able to rectify yourself.

Fault code CD/CDC ERROR 12/17/19 TAPE ERR 01

TAPE ERR 02/03

Possible cause CD is dirty, loaded wrong side up or defec- tive. Tape broken or mechanical fault in deck. Tape snarled up or mechanical fault in deck.

OnStar - Telematics

Your new vehicle may come equipped with advanced telematics hardware. OnStar telematics is a sophisticated in-vehicle system allowing convergence of wireless communications, GPS (Global Positioning System) satellites and advanced vehicle electronics. You should 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. You can also provide OnStar with customer and driver information on their website at www.onstarenrollment.com. You will receive an e-mail confirmation with an OnStar account number. Once you have received this information, complete the enrollment process from the car by pushing the blue OnStar button.

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 112, 116 and 117. NOTE: In order for OnStar to operate, the car audio system must be switched on. OnStar is Easy If your new Saab has OnStar, 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 discharged or disconnected. 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 Center. An advisor will then help you with any of the ser- vices included in your OnStar plan.

If cellular service is unavail-

able, OnStar will generate a fast busy tone. The OnStar system will retry calls a num- ber 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 fol- lowed by the words ”Connect- ing to OnStar Emergency.” An advisor will locate your Saab, find out what kind of assis- tance you require, and con- tact the nearest emergency services provider who can dispatch ambulance, fire, police or other emergency services. Please use this but- ton 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 acci- dentally pressed. This button is also used to access OnStar Personal Calling services which are described on page 112.

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 Safe & Sound Plan The OnStar Safe and Sound Plan is one of three plans you can purchase.* With it, you have access to a complete range of ser- vices 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 On Star or an advisor will contact the nearest emergency services provider with your exact location and your request for help. * New retail deliveries only.

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 Directions and Connections Plan. It gives you not only the important protections of the Safe and Sound Plan, but also a whole range of services which truly change driving from a chore to a luxury.

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.

Additional Services Personal Calling If you are an OnStar Safe and Sound Plan or Directions and Connections Plan sub- scriber, you have access to OnStar Per- sonal Calling. OnStar Personal Calling pro- vides you with a nationwide wireless phone service in your Saab that you can activate simply by pressing 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

For example, when you are entering a number, OnStar repeats the number back to you. You may change the system to respond with a tone response if you prefer. A ready tone, a digit tone, or a goodbye tone will respond instead of the voice. All other responses will still be by voice.

WARNING

Make sure that people and objects are out of the way of a moving door or gate to pre- vent 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, signalling 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.

Retain your original garage door transmitter for future programming procedures (i.e., new vehicle purchase). It is also suggested that upon the sale of the vehicle, the pro- grammed garage opener buttons be erased for security purposes.

8 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. 9 Return 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 com- plete 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.

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 but- tons 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. The

transmitter should face the mirror from below or left side of the mirror.

4 Simultaneously press and hold both the

chosen and hand-held transmitter but- tons. 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. 5 After the indicator light changes from a slow to a rapidly blinking light, release both the mirror and hand-held transmit- ter buttons.

6 Press and hold the just-trained button

and observe the indicator light. If the indicator light stays on con- stantly, 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). 7 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

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.

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.

Rearview mirrors with auto dimming function (accessory/option) The autodimming is activated and deacti- vated with a short push on button 2. If the mirror is equipped with Garage Door Opener (option) the letter 1 is displayed on compass bearing display briefly when auto dimming is activated. When deactivating the letter 0 is displayed. The interior rearview mirror has two sen- sors, one forward-facing and one rear-fac- ing. They also activate and deactivate the auto dimming feature on door mirrors. The system is activated when the for- ward-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 mirrors are then darkened to prevent the strong light source from dazzling the driver. This dark- ening is stepless. The mirrors return to their normal states when the strong light source diminishes. The auto dimming function can be turned OFF with the switch on the lower edge of the rear-view mirror. NOTE Towing a trailer can cause the system to malfunction, as the rear-facing sensor may sense light from the trailer.
