Hazard warning lights When this button is pressed, all the turn signal indicators and a symbol in the button flash simultaneously. If the ignition is on, both indicator lights on the instrument panel will also flash. If the hazard warning lights are left on for some time, the flasher frequency will be reduced to save the battery. Hazard warning lights should only be used if the car constitutes a hazard to other road users. WARNING Switch on the hazard flashers if the car has to be left at the roadside on account of a crash, engine trouble or a puncture. If you carry a warning triangle or flares, they should be set up along the side of the road 300 ft. (100 m) behind your vehicle. If the car is not clearly visible (e.g. over the brow of a hill or bridge), place the tri- angle/flare even further back. Reversing lights The reversing lights come on automatically when reverse gear is engaged or selected with the ignition switched on. 95_US_M08.book Page 77 Friday, May 11, 2007 1:06 PM Wipers and washers There are three intermittent wiper positions. Moving the control stalk to the spring-loaded position between 0 and 2 will produce a single sweep of the wipers. The wipers are designed for optimal clean- ing at all driving speeds. At higher speeds, it may be possible to detect a slight ”sweep- ing” sound. This may be due to the increased air pressure on the blades at higher speeds. Headlight washers 3333 If low beam is on, the headlights are washed every fifth time the windshield washers are used or if 2 minutes have elapsed since the windshield was last washed. The headlight washers cannot be activated separately. The headlight washers are of the high-pres- sure type, which means that other parts of the car may become wet if you activate the washers while the car is stationary. Instruments and controls 77 04 0 OFF 1 Intermittent operation 2 Low speed 3 High speed 4 Washers Control for setting wiper delay 1 Long delay 2 Short delay Rain sensing wipers 3333 WARNING Turn the rain sensor off if the ignition is ON when clearing snow and ice from the windshield, to avoid personal injury. NOTE To avoid damaging the windshield wip- ers, turn the rain sensor off before wash- ing the car in an automatic carwash. The rain sensor automatically controls the windshield wipers. The sensor is located on the windshield beside the rearview mirror. The system varies between single sweeps of the windshield and continuous wiping depending on how much water or snow there is on the windshield. Activate the system by lifting the control stalk to position 1. The wipers make one sweep for reference to see how much water and snow is on the windshield. In future, the sensor compares the amount of water and snow on the windshield with this reference value. 95_US_M08.book Page 78 Friday, May 11, 2007 1:06 PM 78 Instruments and controls When the engine has been switched off, the control stalk must be moved to posi- tion 0 and back to position 1 to reactivate the sensor. Set the sensitivity using the control on the wiper stalk (the same control as used for wiper delay on cars not fitted with a rain sen- sor). The sensor has three sensitivity set- tings. It is most sensitive when in the upper- most position (1). When a higher degree of sensitivity is selected, the wipers make one sweep of the windshield for reference. The rain sensor has a daylight and a night time mode. The sensor measures the amount of available light and automatically selects the appropriate mode. The sensor is more sensitive at night. The function of the rain sensor is impaired by dry snow. Rear-window wiper 1 Intermittent wiping 2 Washers Rear-window wiper (SportCombi) 3333 The rear-window wiper and washer are operated with the same stalk switch as used for washing and wiping the windshield and headlights. This stalk has two additional switches, ON/OFF and The ON position provides intermittent wip- ing. position provides washing and The wiping. After a few sweeps the wiper stops or reverts to intermittent wiping, if this has been chosen. About 15 seconds after com- pletion of the washing/wiping of the rear window, the wiper makes a single sweep to wipe away any remaining washer fluid. A spring-loaded position between the OFF and ON positions allows for a single sweep of the rear-window wiper. Intermittent wiping of the rear window occurs when reverse gear is engaged if the windshield wipers are in position 1, 2 or 3, see page 77. 95_US_M08.book Page 79 Friday, May 11, 2007 1:06 PM Automatic climate control (ACC) The ACC system automatically works to maintain the desired temperature inside the car. The system will achieve the desired temper- ature in the quickest possible way. Note that selecting a higher or lower temperature than that desired will not speed up the process. For the ACC system to be most effective, all windows (and moonroof 3) should be closed. Fresh air for the cabin is drawn in through an inlet grille adjacent to the bottom edge of the windshield. The air flows through a filter upstream of the ACC system before deliv- ery to the cabin. Cabin air is evacuated via openings in the rear parcel shelf and then through outlets on either side of the car behind the rear bumper. Instruments and controls 79 10 ACC panel 1 Temperature setting: LH side 2 AUTO: All settings selected automatically 3 Manual setting of fan speed 4 Manual setting of air distribution 5 Temperature setting: RH side 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, heated. The filter is a combined particle and char- coal filter. It is so efficient that levels of nox- ious substances such as benzene and tolu- ene are also reduced. 6 Recirculation: ON/OFF 7 Rear-window heating: ON/OFF 8 A/C compressor: ON/OFF 9 Ventilated front seats 3 10 Heated front seats 3 To reduce the likelihood of misting on the insides of the windows, the glass should be cleaned with a quality window cleaner. How often this will need to be done depends on how clean the air is – if there are smokers in the car, cleaning will need to be done more frequently. 95_US_M08.book Page 80 Friday, May 11, 2007 1:06 PM 80 Instruments and controls The system has five sensors: (cid:127) Outdoor temperature sensor (cid:127) Interior temperature sensor (cid:127) Sun sensor (mounted on top of the fascia) (cid:127) Two blended-air temperature sensors (mounted inside the front floor vents) Note: If anything is placed over the sun sen- sor, the ACC system will not function prop- erly. 1 Interior-temperature sensor 2 Sun sensor Panel vent Panel vents The panel vents swivel in all directions 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 flow of air through the panel vents can be controlled individually for each vent by means of the adjacent control. The climate control system works best if the panel vents are open. If you find the air cold or that it is drafty, start by directing the air away from the body. If the center vent is aimed up, it will cool the interior temperature sensor and you may need to adjust ACC up or down, depending upon temperature desired. 95_US_M08.book Page 81 Friday, May 11, 2007 1:06 PM Air vent at rear side window Temperature control The cabin is divided into two temperature zones: (cid:127) The driver’s zone (cid:127) The passenger zone (front and rear seats) The desired temperature can be set between 60 and 80°F. The displayed temperature is not the abso- lute temperature but corresponds to the comfort level normally experienced at that temperature after allowance has been made for the air flow, relative humidity, solar radiation, etc., currently prevailing inside the car. (cid:127) The most usual temperature setting is 64–76°F, depending on personal prefer- ence and what clothing is worn. (cid:127) To allow the system time to adjust, changes in the temperature setting shall only be made in steps of 2°F. Once the desired climate has been achieved, the rear center vents can be closed to prevent warm air being distributed at face height. When the ignition is switched off, only the temperature control affects the system the next time the engine is started. The system will warm up/cool down to the temperature to which the control is set. Instruments and controls 81 MAX heat, red indication The MAX heat setting is obtained by turning the temperature control to the first position past 80 (to the red LED). The driver’s side selection regulates air distribution and recir- culation status. Temperature, however, can be adjusted on the passenger side. Settings when MAX heat is selected: (cid:127) Maximum heat (cid:127) Air distribution to windshield and floor (cid:127) Recirculation OFF (even if manually selected before) (cid:127) Fan: high speed MAX cooling, blue indicator The MAX cooling setting is obtained by turn- ing the temperature control to the first posi- tion past 60 (to the blue LED). The driver’s side selection regulates air distribution and recirculation status. Temperature, however, can be adjusted on the passenger side. Settings when MAX cooling is selected: (cid:127) Maximum cooling (A/C compressor will run even if AC OFF manually selected before) (cid:127) Air distribution through panel vents (cid:127) Fan: maximum speed (cid:127) Recirculation ON 95_US_M08.book Page 82 Friday, May 11, 2007 1:06 PM 82 Instruments and controls Functions Pressing AUTO will cancel all manual settings. If a manual function is selected, it will be locked in but other functions will be controlled automatically. The selected temperature is always maintained automatically. Temperature, air distribution, fan speed and recircu- lation will be controlled automatically. Pressing AUTO once will cancel all previous manual selections. The ACC system is in AUTO mode when the engine is started. A/C compressor OFF. No cooling of inlet air. Temperature, air distribution and fan speed still under automatic control. Turn the fan control anticlockwise until "OFF" lights up. ACC system OFF. Fan OFF. A/C compressor OFF. Air distribution selections locked in current settings. Recirculation can be selected manually. Heating 3333 and ventilation 3333 of the front seats is deac- tivated. Pressing the AUTO button will put the system into automatic mode. Reactivation by turning the fan control clockwise one click causes the system to resume any manual selec- tions. The rear window and door mirror heating is controlled manually. Deactivate the heating as soon as the rear window is clear of ice and misting to avoid imposing a heavy load on the battery longer than necessary. Note, however, that heating will deactivate automatically after a set time, depending on the outside temperature. The ACC system can be programmed to activate heat- ing automatically when outside temperature is below +5 °C and the temperature inside the car is below +10 °C. See page 85. Turn the fan control to increase fan speed. If fan speed 0 is selected, the A/C compressor will be disengaged and the indicator on the AC OFF button will illuminate. Recirculation is controlled automatically to optimize cooling although it can also be switched on and off manually. Recirculation does not appreciably change the air quality but it can be useful to switch it on to avoid unpleasant smells from entering the cabin. 95_US_M08.book Page 83 Friday, May 11, 2007 1:06 PM Air distribution Instruments and controls 83 One press: When the defroster is chosen manually, all the windows (except the rear side windows, where the air flow is off) are demisted by: (cid:127) Fan: high speed. (cid:127) The air is directed to the defroster vents. (cid:127) Temperature increases somewhat. (cid:127) Recirculation OFF. (cid:127) Activation of rear window/door mirror heating. The defroster function remains active until another selection is made. Note, however, that rear win- dow/door mirror heating will deactivate automati- cally after a set time, depending on the outside temperature. Two presses: Air is directed to the windscreen without the fan speed being increase or the rear window heating being switched on. To revert to a previous setting, press the AUTO button. Defroster and floor vents Floor vents and rear side windows Floor and panel vents 95_US_M08.book Page 84 Friday, May 11, 2007 1:06 PM 84 Instruments and controls Panel (and center rear vent) Starting in cold weather To start with, the system will automatically select the defroster set- ting, maximum heat and low fan speed. As the engine warms up, air will also be distributed through the floor vents and the fan speed will be increased. As the temperature inside the car nears the selected value, both the fan speed and the heat will be decreased to a level determined by the system. Starting in hot weather The system will automatically distribute air through the panel vents at high fan speed and will switch on the A/C compressor (unless the AC OFF switch has been pressed). If the outdoor temperature is above 77°F (25°C), the system might select recirculation after 0-15 seconds if this is required in order to reach the desired temperature. As the temperature inside the car nears the selected value, the fan speed will be decreased to a value determined by the system. 95_US_M08.book Page 85 Friday, May 11, 2007 1:06 PM Instruments and controls 85 Adaptation of ACC It is also possible to customize the ACC system, e.g. to adapt to driving and weather conditions. Adaptation and restoration of factory settings is done by holding the respective button depressed approx. 2 seconds until a chime sounds. Make sure the ignition is ON. Function Operation in AUTO mode after adaptation The rear window heating will come on after the engine has started if the outside temper- ature is below +5 °C. – This function helps to pre- vent ice or mist forming on the rear window in cold, damp weather. Fuel con- sumption may increase slightly. Seat heating comes on if the system determines that heating is necessary based on the temperature in the seat and the outside temper- ature. Factory setting Heating is selected manually. Function Display text in SID during adaptation ACC:AUTO RDEFR CTRL Display text in SID when factory settings are restored ACC:MANUAL RDEFR CTRL ACC:AUTO SEAT HEATING ACC:MANUAL SEAT HEATING There are two settings for heating. Repeat- edly pressing the but- ton switches between low output, high output and off. Example: If you want the ACC system to handle activation and deac- tivation of rear window/door mirror heating, hold the button depressed approx. 2 seconds until a chime sounds. The display shows: ACC:AUTO RDEFR CTRL When “Adaptation of ACC“ is done, it will apply until factory settings are restored. The following measures are recommended if the occupants feel that it is cold and draughty in the car: 1 Make sure that all the air vents are fully open, including the center rear vent. If this is not enough... 2 Direct the air flow away from the body. If this is not enough... 3 Raise the temperature setting a degree or two. If this is not enough... 4 Lower the fan speed. Troubleshooting and care, see page 246. 95_US_M08.book Page 86 Friday, May 11, 2007 1:06 PM 86 Instruments and controls Calibration Calibration is carried out automatically after a certain number of starts if the ignition has been switched off for more than 2 hours. If the battery has been disconnected or has run flat, the system will need to be recali- brated. Calibration is started manually as follows: 1 Start the engine. 2 Press and at the same time. When manual calibration starts, ”ACC:CALIBR. STARTED” appears in SID. Calibration takes approx. 30 seconds. Useful tips (before taking the car to a workshop. We recommend that you contact an authorized Saab workshop.) (cid:127) If the battery has been disconnected or has run flat, the system will need to be recalibrated. See "Calibration" above. (cid:127) If front seat heating and/or rear window heating do not function satisfactorily, see "Adaptation of ACC" on page 85. Condensation water When the A/C system is running, the intake air is dehumidified, and the resultant con- densation is drained off through two outlets underneath the floor of the car, in the vicinity of the front doors. It is therefore perfectly normal for water to be seen dripping from these outlets when the car is parked. The warmer the ambient air and the higher the humidity, the more condensation water will form. Formation of ice and mist in extreme weather conditions It is only in the most extreme conditions that icing and misting of window glass are likely to be a problem, e.g. in torrential rain or severe cold coupled with high relative humidity, or when passengers are perspir- ing heavily or wearing wet clothes. The following measures are recommended if such problems should occur: 1 Select AUTO and 21 °C for both temper- ature zones. 2 Select Defroster. If this is not enough... 3 Increase the fan speed. If this is not enough... 4 Select a higher temperature. 95_US_M08.book Page 87 Friday, May 11, 2007 1:06 PM Instruments and controls 87 Heated front seats 3333 The heating of the seat cushion and back- rest of both front seats is adjustable and thermostat-controlled. The heating is adjustable in two stages. Ventilated front seats 3333 Ventilated front seats, that enhance seating comfort in hot weather, are available as an option on cars equipped with leather-uphol- stered and electrically adjustable seats. Ventilated seats are equipped with two fans that extract the moist air from between the seat and the body. The fans have two speeds. Heated rear seat cushion 3333 Electrically heated seat cushions for the two outer seats in the back are available as an option. The ON/OFF control button for the cushion heating is located on the back of the center console. How long the cushions are heated for depends on the outside temperature. The heating can also be turned off with the button. The button has an integral indicator that is illuminated when the heating is on. 95_US_M08.book Page 88 Friday, May 11, 2007 1:06 PM 88 Instruments and controls (This page has been left blank.) 95_US_M08.book Page 89 Friday, May 11, 2007 1:06 PM Saab 9-5 Audio System 89 Saab 9-5 Audio System Radio _______________ CD player ____________ CD changer 3333 ________ MP3 player ___________ Portable player 3333 _____ General functions _____ Sound system ________ Technical data ________ Antennas ____________ Error codes __________ Security lock _________ 93 99 100 102 104 105 107 108 109 112 112 3 Asterisk means: equipment not fitted in all cars (can depend on model variant, engine variant, market specification, options or accessories). 95_US_M08.book Page 90 Friday, May 11, 2007 1:06 PM Saab 9-5 Audio System 90 Saab 9-5 Audio System 3333 To get the best out of your Saab 9-5 Audio System, we recommend that you read through this entire section.

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.
