The XMTM Satellite Radio antenna 3 is located on the roof of the vehicle. Keep this antenna clear of snow and ice build up for clear radio reception. (cid:127) Roof loads can negatively affect telecom- munication, GPS reception and the performance of the XMTM system 3. (cid:127) If sun film is fitted to the rear window, it must be a pure-plastic variety to maintain good radio reception. Ensure that the film does not contain any metal. NOTE Refrain from placing hard or sharp objects on the rear parcel shelf, to avoid damaging the antenna leads. Saab 9-5 Audio System 109 Multipath propagation Multipath propagation occurs when radio waves from an FM transmitter are reflected by a large building, or the like, causing them to arrive slightly later than the direct waves. This can create interference to radio recep- tion. See also "Diversity antenna". Diversity antenna 3333 To improve radio reception when the topog- raphy is a problem, a second FM antenna, known as a diversity antenna, can be fitted in the rear window. Consult a Saab dealer for further information. 95_US_M08.book Page 110 Friday, May 11, 2007 1:06 PM 110 Saab 9-5 Audio System FM AM Shadow effect Because FM radio waves travel in straight lines from the transmitter, a shadow effect can occur when tall buildings or hills obstruct the propagation path from the transmitter to the car. Cross modulation If the radio is tuned to a weak transmitter in the vicinity of a stronger one, the car’s antennas will receive signals from both. Such interference is apparent when the unwanted broadcast can be heard faintly in the background. Radio waves, FM/AM FM radio waves radiate in straight lines from the transmitter. Because such waves do not follow the curvature of the Earth, their strength becomes weaker the further they travel. That is why a large number of trans- mitters is needed to provide good reception. AM waves, on the other hand, are reflected off the ionosphere, thus greatly extending their range. 95_US_M08.book Page 111 Friday, May 11, 2007 1:06 PM Saab 9-5 Audio System 111 Sources of FM interference Interference to FM reception can be caused by the electrical systems in other vehicles, particularly if the signal from the transmitter is weak. Sources of AM interference AM reception is prone to interference, e.g. from electrical systems in other vehicles, high-tension power lines and lightning. 95_US_M08.book Page 112 Friday, May 11, 2007 1:06 PM Saab 9-5 Audio System 112 Error codes NOTE Proceed with care if rectifying a fault. If in doubt, contact a workshop. We recom- mend that you contact an authorized Saab dealer. The audio system has a built-in diagnostics function. If a fault is detected, a error code is generated to help workshop technicians to diagnose the fault. Below are the codes for some faults that you might be able to rec- tify yourself. Error code Check CD Possible cause (cid:127) CD is dirty, scratched, loaded wrong-side-up or defective. (cid:127) The CD may be improperly burned.

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. Buttons for garage opener and compass 1-3 Garage opener 4 LED 5 Compass/auto dimming ON/OFF 6 Compass bearing 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 programmed garage opener buttons be erased for security purposes.

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. 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 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. 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 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). 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 antenna wire is attached to the motor-head unit. 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 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. 95_US_M08.book Page 120 Friday, May 11, 2007 1:06 PM 120 Interior equipment and trunk 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. NOTE Switch off the power supply to the garage door or gate (or park the car beyond the range of the remote control) while pro- gramming using the "cycling" method to prevent damaging the electrical motor. 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. 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. Continue to press and hold the button while you press and release - every two sec- onds ("cycle") your hand-held transmitter until the frequency signal has successfully been accepted by the garage opener. (The indicator light will flash slowly and then rap- idly.) Proceed with "Programming" step five to complete. 95_US_M08.book Page 121 Friday, May 11, 2007 1:06 PM 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. NOTE Switch off the power supply to the garage door or gate (or park the car beyond the range of the remote control) while pro- gramming using the "cycling" method to prevent damaging the electrical motor.

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. 1 Forward-facing sensor 2 ON/OFF switch, auto dimming function 3 Rear-facing sensor 95_US_M08.book Page 122 Friday, May 11, 2007 1:06 PM 122 Interior equipment and trunk Compass The compass is integrated in the rearview mirror.
