93_US_MY09.book Page 114 Tuesday, April 15, 2008 10:30 AM 114 Instruments and controls Electric heating, front seats 3 The seat cushions and backrests of the front seats are heated. Heating is thermostatically controlled. The heating has two effect steps. We do not recommend prolonged use of the higher level for people with sensitive skin. Heating is controlled manually but can also be automatic. Refer to Settings on page 115. 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, such as 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 set the temperature to 70 °F (21 °C) 2 Push one time on the defroster button. If this is not enough...3 Increase the fan speed. If this is not enough...4 Select a higher temperature. ACC- Convertible When the soft top is folded, several functions in the ACC-system is effected. The system adjusts itself as follows: • the sensitivity of the temperature knob changes • air distribution and fan speed can only be adjusted manually • Recirculation and rear window heating are cut out • The A/C compressor is switched off (manual activation is possible by pressing the AC OFF button). All manual selections are possible with the exception of rear window heating and defroster function. When the soft top is raised, the system reverts to the AUTO mode and the set temperature. Note: When the soft top or all the windows are open in a hot, humid climate, turning the air conditioning on manually can cause condensation to form on cold surfaces, such as the air ducts. Calibration Calibration is performed automatically every 40:th time the car is started after having been switched off for more than 2 hours or if the battery has been disconnected. Programming A number of functions can be customized under Settings (see page 115). Tips (before contacting a dealer. We recommend that you contact a Saab dealer) • If you feel that the ACC system is not functioning satisfactorily, select "Default Settings" under Settings, see page 115.
