104 Interior equipment and trunk To recall the programmed settings, press the appropriate preset button, whereupon the seat and mirrors will be adjusted automatically. To change the settings stored in a preset button, adjust the seat and mirrors as before and save the new settings by pressing M and the appropriate preset button. To facilitate reversing, the passenger side door mirror can be tilted down automatically, e.g. to show the curb. To do this, select reverse and press the tiny button adjacent to the door-mirror control. When you deselect reverse, the mirror will return to its original setting automatically (see page 108). IB404 Programmable driver's seat (certain models only) In certain models the driver´s seat is equipped with a programmable memory function. This function also includes the door mirrors. Adjust the seat and door mirrors. To save the settings, press and hold the M button and, at the same time, press one of the preselect buttons (1, 2 or 3). The SID will sound a bell to confirm that the settings have been saved. Head restraint The front seats in the Saab 9-5 are equipped with Saab Active Head Restraints (SAHRs). These reduce the risk of whiplash injury if the car is hit from behind. In the event of a rear-end collision, the body is forced back against the backrest. This, in turn, causes the mechanism to press the head restraint forwards and upwards, to maintain the head, neck and back alignment. The SAHR is a mechanical system, actuated by the body weight. The mechanism is built into the top of the backrest, where it is connected to the head restraint. Because the SAHR is mechanically operated, it does not need to be replaced after a collision has occurred. IB400
