2007 Saab 9-3 Owner's Manual - Page 110

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 recirculation will be controlled automatically. Pressing AUTO once will cancel all previous manual air distribution selections. When the engine is started, the ACC system will be in AUTO mode. The A/C-compressor is turned off. The incoming air is not cooled or dehumidified. Temperature, air distribution, fan speed and recirculation will be controlled automatically. 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 3 of the front seats is deactivated. Pressing 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 selections. 110 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. 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 manually to optimise 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 prevent unpleasant smells from entering the cabin.
