(5- 10 metres), although it can be substantially more than this in ideal conditions (range can vary greatly depending on the position of the car and its surroundings). If the key 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 key at least four times in quick succession. When it is recognized, the door locks will cycle. If a key is lost, the new one will have to be programmed (all keys must be present) to match the car's unique security code. We recommend that you contact an authorized Saab dealer. The battery for the key will normally have a life of 4 years. When the battery needs changing, "Remote control battery low. Replace battery." will appear on the Saab Information Display (SID). We recommend that you contact an authorized Saab dealer. 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. Car-battery voltage 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 272).
