“All disc ejection mode” will be canceled.NOTEAvoid driving the vehicle with a CD
sticking out, because vibration might
make it fall out.
Precautions to observe when handling a compact discUse only compact discs (CDs) that have
the mark shown in the following illustra-
tion.
You may also use compact discs (CD-Rs
and CD-RWs) that have the following
marks, but you may not use some discs if
they were produced using writing methods
not compatible with your vehicle’s audio
system.

You cannot use a DualDisc in the CD

form inside the CD player, preventing nor-
mal operation. If this happens, eject the
CD and wait for the player to dry out.

Skipping may occur when the CD player
is subjected to severe vibration (for exam-
ple, when the vehicle is driven on a rough
surface).

To remove a disc from the case, press
the center of the case and hold both edg-
es of the disc. If the disc surface is
touched directly, contamination could
cause poor tone quality. Do not touch the
disc surface.

Use a clean disc whenever possible. If
there are deposits, wipe the disc surface
from the center outward with a dry, soft
cloth. Be sure not to use a hard cloth, thin-
ner, benzene, alcohol, etc.

Do not use any disc that is scratched,
deformed, or cracked. Also, do not use
any disc that has a non-standard shape
(for example, a heart shape). Malfunctions
or problems might result.

A disc is vulnerable to heat. Never keep
it either in places exposed to direct sun-
light, near heaters or in vehicles parked in
the sun or on hot days.

Cigarette lighter socketA cigarette lighter socket can be found be-
hind the ashtray lid under the climate con-
trols. Push gently on the lid to open it. A

sory. It is available from your Saab dealer.
The cigarette lighter socket may also be

holder stored while driving to re-
duce the risk of injury in the event
of a sudden stop or an accident.

Do not pick up a cup from the cup
holder or put a cup in the holder
while you are driving, as this may

Cleaning the interiorUse a soft, damp cloth to clean the climate
control panel, audio equipment, instru-
ment panel, center console, combination
meter panel, and switches. (Do not use or-
ganic solvents.)
Seat fabricRemove loose dirt, dust or debris with a
vacuum cleaner. If the dirt is caked on the
fabric or hard to remove with a vacuum
cleaner, use a soft blush then vacuum it.
Wipe the fabric surface with a tightly
wrung cloth and dry the seat fabric thor-
oughly. If the fabric is still dirty, wipe using
a solution of mild soap and lukewarm wa-
ter then dry thoroughly.
If the stain does not come out, try a com-
mercially-available fabric cleaner. Use the
cleaner on a hidden place and make sure
it does not affect the fabric adversely. Use
the cleaner according to its instructions.NOTEWhen cleaning the seat, do not use
benzine, paint thinner, or any similar
materials.

Leather seat materials (seat-
ing surfaces)The leather used by Saab is a high quality
natural product which will retain its distinc-
tive appearance and feel for many years
with proper care.
Allowing dust or road dirt to build up on the
surface can cause the material to become
brittle and to wear prematurely. Regular
cleaning with a soft, moist, natural fiber
cloth should be performed monthly, taking
care not to soak the leather or allow water
to penetrate the stitched seams.
A mild detergent suitable for cleaning
woolen fabrics may be used to remove dif-
ficult dirt spots, rubbing with a soft, dry
cloth afterwards to restore the luster. If
your Saab is to be parked for a long time
in bright sunlight, it is recommended that
the seats and headrests be covered, or
the windows shaded, to prevent fading or
shrinkage.
Minor surface blemishes or bald patches
may be treated with a commercial leather
spray lacquer. You will discover that each
leather seat section will develop soft folds
or wrinkles, which is characteristic of gen-
uine leather.

Synthetic leather upholsteryThe synthetic leather material used on the
Saab may be cleaned using mild soap or
detergent and water, after first vacuuming
or brushing away loose dirt. Allow the
soap to soak in for a few minutes and wipe
off with a clean, damp cloth. Commercial
foam-type cleaners suitable for synthetic
leather materials may be used when nec-
essary.NOTEStrong cleaning agents such as sol-
vents, paint thinners, window cleaner
or gasoline must never be used on
leather or synthetic interior materials.
Climate control panel, audio
panel, instrument panel, con-
sole panel, and switchesUse a soft, damp cloth to clean the climate
control panel, audio equipment, instru-
ment panel, center console, combination
meter panel, and switches.NOTEDo not use organic solvents such as
paint thinners or gasoline, or strong
cleaning agents that contain those sol-
vents.
