86 Instruments and controls Condensation water When the A/C system is running, the intake air is dehumidified, and the resultant condensation is drained off through two outlets underneath the floor of the car, in the vicinity of the front doors. It is therefore perfectly normal for water to be seen dripping from these outlets when the car is parked. The warmer the ambient air and the higher the humidity, the more condensation water will form. 1 Make sure that all the air vents are fully open, including the center rear vent. If this is not enough...2 Direct the air flow away from the body. If this is not enough...3 Raise the temperature setting a degree or two. If this is not enough...4 Lower the fan speed. Troubleshooting and care, see page 243. Calibration Calibration is carried out automatically after a certain number of starts if the ignition has been switched off for more than 2 hours. If the battery has been disconnected or has run flat, the system will need to be recalibrated. Calibration is started manually as follows: 1 Start the engine. 2 Press and at the same time.

Formation of ice and mist in extreme weather conditions It is only in the most extreme conditions that icing and misting of window glass are likely to be a problem, e.g. in torrential rain or severe cold coupled with high relative humidity, or when passengers are perspiring heavily or wearing wet clothes. The following measures are recommended if such problems should occur: 1 Select AUTO and 21 °C for both temperature zones. 2 Select Defroster. If this is not enough...3 Increase the fan speed. If this is not enough...4 Select a higher temperature. The following measures are recommended if the occupants feel that it is cold and draughty in the car: Useful tips (before taking the car to a workshop. We recommend that you contact an authorized Saab workshop.) • If the battery has been disconnected or has run flat, the system will need to be recalibrated. See "Calibration" above. • If front seat heating and/or rear window heating do not function satisfactorily, see "Adaptation of ACC" on page 85.
