Security 5 After changing the battery in the remote control, it is only possible to use the remote control a limited number of times before synchronization with the car is lost. Therefore, do not press the buttons on the remote control repeatedly directly after changing the battery. Unlock the car and insert the remote control into the ignition switch to synchronize the remote control and car. If the central locking system does not work after changing the battery and the car is locked, proceed as follows: 1 Unlock the front left door with the traditional key. If the car has a car alarm, this will be tripped. 2 Open the door and insert the remote control into the ignition switch. If the car has a car alarm, this will be silenced. The remote control and receiver unit are now synchronized. 49 Immobilizer The remote control contains an electronic code that is unique to your car. When the remote control is inserted into the ignition switch, this code is checked and the LED on the dashboard double-flashes for 3 seconds. If the code is correct, the car can be started. Each time you remove the remote control from the ignition, the electronic starting interlock is activated, the LED doubleflashes for 3 seconds and the car becomes immobilized. If an incorrect remote control is now inserted into the ignition switch (e.g. the remote control of another car), the immobilizer will remain operative (the LED will not flash for 3 s) and it will not be possible to start the car. If the immobilizer system malfunctions, the Saab Information Display (SID) displays: Immobilizer failure. Try starting again. Contact Saab dealer. Change the battery and fit together the two halves of the remote control 3 Change the battery. Fit the new battery so that it is positioned in the same way as the old battery, with the positive (+) side facing down. 4 Fit the two halves of the remote control together and press them together until you hear several clicks.

Security

Change the battery. Fit the new battery

so that it is positioned in the same way

as the old battery, with the positive (+)

side facing down.

Fit the two halves of the remote control

together and press them together until

you hear several clicks. Avoid pressing

the buttons. Reinsert the traditional key

into the remote control.

After changing the battery in the remote

control, it is only possible to use the

remote control a limited number of times

before synchronization with the car is

lost. Therefore, do not press the buttons

on the remote control repeatedly directly

after changing the battery.

Unlock the car and insert the remote

control into the ignition switch to

synchronize the remote control and car.

If the central locking system does not work

after changing the battery and the car is

locked, proceed as follows:

Unlock the front left door with the tradi-

tional key. If the car has a car alarm, this

will be tripped.

Open the door and insert the remote

control into the ignition switch. If the car

has a car alarm, this will be silenced.

The remote control and receiver unit are

now synchronized.

Immobilizer

The remote control contains an electronic

code that is unique to your car. When the

remote control is inserted into the ignition

switch, this code is checked and the LED on

the dashboard double-flashes for

seconds. If the code is correct, the car can

be started.

Each time you remove the remote control

from the ignition, the electronic starting

interlock is activated, the LED double-

flashes for 3

seconds and the car becomes

immobilized. If an incorrect remote control is

now inserted into the ignition switch (e.g.

the remote control of another car), the

immobilizer will remain operative (the LED

will not flash for 3 s) and it will not be possi-

ble to start the car.

If the immobilizer system malfunctions, the

Saab Information Display (SID) displays:

Immobilizer failure.

Try starting again.

Contact Saab dealer.
