Security Overview of functions Locking/ activation Unlocking/ deactivation Unlocking/ deactivation of trunk lid/tailgate alarm Hazard warning lights flash once and the horn chirps once. The LED will come on for 10 seconds. Hazard warning lights flash twice and the horn chirps twice. The LED will come on for two seconds. Hazard warning lights flash three times and the horn chirps three times. The LED will flash three times per second for 10 seconds. Battery for remote control 41 Alarm triggered Hazard warning lights flash for 5 min. Siren wails for 30 seconds. To switch off the alarm, deactivate the system in the normal way (unlocking). Window-glass sensor The sensor detects if any window is broken and triggers the alarm. To disable the sensor, see page 39. Car-battery voltage The battery for the remote control will normally have a life of 3-4 years. When the battery needs changing, "REPLACE KEY BATTERY" will appear on the SID. After fitting a new battery, press the unlock button on the remote control at least 5 times in succession while the car is within the range of the remote control, so that the car alarm can recognize the signals from the control. If the remote control has been exposed to very low temperatures, it may not function properly. If this happens, warm it in your hands for a few minutes. If the remote control is not working, it may be because the code signal has not been synchronized with that in the control module for the car alarm. To rectify this, press the unlock button on the remote control 4-5 times in quick succession. If the battery is disconnected while the alarm is active (car is locked), for example during an attempt to steal the car, the alarm will be triggered. Remote control The range of the remote control is normally 5-10 yds. (5-10 metres), although it can be substantially more than this in ideal conditions. If a remote control or key is lost, the new one will have to be programmed from one of the remaining remote controls to match the car's unique security code. Get in touch with an authorized Saab dealer. Alarm signals may differ between model variants for different countries. Some of the car-alarm functions can be reprogrammed - consult your Saab dealer for further details (see page 237).
