It is possible to have up to four at one time that are coded for your car. If one is lost, contact your authorized Saab dealer to obtain a replacement. If an additional key is to be added, all of the original keys must be brought to the dealer so that the control module can ''learn" to recognize the new components. NOTE: For this reason, we strongly advise you to take two keys with you on long journeys and to keep them separate. If all keys are lost, it will be necessary to replace costly electronic components as well as the keys and remotes. This loss and replacement cost is not covered by the new car warranty. IB1524 Key
