2002 Saab 9-5 Owner's Manual - Page 46

46 Security Battery for key Hazard warning lights flash once and the horn chirps once. The LED will come on for 10 seconds. Hazard warning lights flash twice and the horn chirps twice. The LED will come on for two seconds. Hazard warning lights flash three times and the horn chirps three times. The LED will flash three times per second for 10 seconds. Car-battery voltage The battery for the key will normally have a life of 4 years. When the battery needs changing, "REPLACE KEY BATTERY" will appear on the SID. 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. Overview of functions Locking/ activation Unlocking/ deactivation Unlocking/ deactivation of trunk lid/tailgate 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). Window-glass sensor Key The sensor detects if any window is broken and triggers the alarm. To disable the sensor, see page 44. The range of the key is normally 5-10 yds. (5-10 metres), although it can be substantially more than this in ideal conditions. 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. Contact an authorized Saab dealer. 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 259).
