Battery for remote control The battery for the remote control will normally have a life of 4-5 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 four times in succession, so that the car alarm can recognize the signals from the transmitter. 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 at least four times in quick succession. When it is recognized, the door locks will cycle. If the car-battery voltage is lost while the alarm is activated - for instance, if the battery has died the car alarm will be deactivated. Once battery voltage is present again, the alarm will revert to its status at the time the voltage went down. If the battery is disconnected, e.g. in an attempt to break into the car, the alarm will be triggered Overview of functions Locking/ activation Unlocking/ deactivation Unlocking/ deactivation of trunk lid alarm 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) by unlocking the door with the key or the remote Window-glass sensor The sensor detects if any window is broken and triggers the alarm. To disable the sensor, see page 36. Car-battery voltage 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 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. Your dealer will need your second remote to program a new one If another remote or key is desired (up to total of 4), all keys and remotes must be present when programming additional ones. 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 231).
