fuse SAAB 9-7X 2007 Owners Manual

Testing the Alarm
The alarm can be tested by following these steps:
1. From inside the vehicle, lower the driver’s
window and open the driver’s door.
2. Activate the system by locking the doors with
the power door lock switch while the door is
open, or with the remote keyless entry
transmitter.
3. Get out of the vehicle, close the door and wait
for the security light to go out.
4. Then reach in through the window, unlock the
door with the manual door lock and open the
door. This should set off the alarm.
When the alarm is set the power door unlock
switch is not operational.
If the alarm does not sound when it should but the
headlamps ash, check to see if the horn works.
The horn fuse may be blown. To replace the fuse,
seeFuses and Circuit Breakers on page 435.
If the alarm does not sound or the headlamps do
not ash, the vehicle should be serviced by
your dealer.

PASS-Key®III Operation
Your vehicle is equipped
with the PASS-Key®III
(Personalized
Automotive Security
System) theft-deterrent
system. PASS-Key
®III
is a passive
theft-deterrent system.
This means you do not have to do anything different
to arm or disarm the system. It works when you
insert or remove the key from the ignition.When the PASS-Key
®III system senses that
someone is using the wrong key, it shuts down the
vehicle’s starter and fuel systems. The starter will
not work and fuel will stop being delivered to the
engine. Anyone using a trial-and-error method to
start the vehicle will be discouraged because of the
high number of electrical key codes.
When trying to start the vehicle, if the engine does
not start and the SECURITY light comes on, the
key may have a damaged transponder. Turn
the ignition off and try again.
If the engine still does not start, and the key
appears to be undamaged, try another ignition key.
At this time, you may also want to check the fuse.
SeeFuses and Circuit Breakers on page 435.Ifthe
engine still does not start with the other key, your
vehicle needs service. If your vehicle does start, the
rst key may be faulty. See your dealer who can
service the PASS-Key
®III to have a new key made.

Turn and Lane-Change Signals
The turn signal has two upward (for right) and
two downward (for left) positions. These positions
let you signal a turn or a lane change.
To signal a turn, move the lever all the way up or
down. When the turn is nished, the lever
returns automatically.
An arrow on the
instrument panel
cluster ashes in the
direction of the turn or
lane change.
To signal a lane change, raise or lower the lever
until the arrow starts to ash. Hold it there until you
complete your lane change. The lever returns
by itself when released. The bottom of the outside
rearview mirrors might also have lane change
indicators.As you signal a turn or a lane change, if the
arrows ash more quickly than normal, a signal
bulb could be burned out and other drivers will not
see your turn signal.
If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an
accident. If the arrows do not go on at all when
you signal a turn, check the fuse. SeeFuses and
Circuit Breakers on page 435and check for
burned-out bulbs.
If you have a trailer towing option with added
wiring for the trailer lamps, a turn signal asher is
used. With this asher installed, the signal
indicator ashes even if a turn signal bulb is
burned out. Check the front and rear turn signal
lamps regularly to make sure they are working.
Turn Signal On Chime
If your turn signal is left on for more than 3/4 of a
mile (1.2 km), a chime sounds at each ash of
the turn signal. To turn off the chime, move
the turn signal lever to the off position.

Accessory Power Outlet(s)
With the accessory power outlets, you can plug in
auxiliary electrical equipment such as a cellular
telephone or CB radio.
Your vehicle has three accessory power outlets.
There are two outlets located below the climate
controls and one outlet is on the rear of the center
oor console.
Remove the cover from the outlet to use the
outlet. Be sure to put the cover back on when not
using the accessory power outlet.
Certain electrical accessories may not be
compatible with the accessory power outlet and
could result in blown vehicle or adaptor fuses.
If you experience a problem, see your dealer for
additional information on the accessory
power outlets.Notice:Adding any electrical equipment to
your vehicle may damage it or keep other
components from working as they should.
The repairs would not be covered by your
warranty. Do not use equipment exceeding
maximum amperage rating of 20 amperes.
Check with your dealer before adding
electrical equipment.
When adding electrical equipment, be sure to
follow the proper installation instructions included
with the equipment.
Notice:Improper use of the power outlet can
cause damage not covered by your warranty.

Doing Your Own Service Work
{CAUTION:
You can be injured and your vehicle could
be damaged if you try to do service work
on a vehicle without knowing enough
about it.
Be sure you have sufficient knowledge,
experience, the proper replacement
parts, and tools before you attempt any
vehicle maintenance task.
Be sure to use the proper nuts, bolts,
and other fasteners. English and metric
fasteners can be easily confused. If you
use the wrong fasteners, parts can later
break or fall off. You could be hurt.
If you want to do some of your own service work,
you will want to use the proper service manual.
It tells you much more about how to service your
vehicle than this manual can.Your vehicle has an airbag system. Before
attempting to do your own service work, see
Servicing Your Airbag-Equipped Vehicle on
page 80.
You should keep a record with all parts receipts
and list the mileage and the date of any service
work you perform. SeeMaintenance Record
on page 462.
Adding Equipment to the Outside
of Your Vehicle
Things you might add to the outside of your
vehicle can affect the airow around it. This may
cause wind noise and affect windshield washer
performance. Check with your dealer before
adding equipment to the outside of your vehicle.

Electrical System
Add-On Electrical Equipment
Notice:Do not add anything electrical to your
vehicle unless you check with your dealer
rst. Some electrical equipment can damage
your vehicle and the damage would not
be covered by your warranty. Some add-on
electrical equipment can keep other
components from working as they should.
Add-on equipment can drain your vehicle’s battery,
even if your vehicle is not operating.
Your vehicle has an airbag system. Before
attempting to add anything electrical to your
vehicle, seeServicing Your Airbag-Equipped
Vehicle on page 80.
Headlamps
The headlamp wiring is protected by fuses, one
for each headlamp, in the fuse block. An electrical
overload will cause the lamps to turn off. If this
happens, have your headlamp wiring checked
right away.
Windshield Wiper Fuses
The windshield wiper motor is protected by a
circuit breaker and a fuse. If the motor overheats
due to heavy snow or ice, the wiper will stop
until the motor cools. If the overload is caused by
some electrical problem, be sure to get it xed.

Power Windows and Other Power
Options
Circuit breakers protect the power windows and
other power accessories. When the current load is
too heavy, the circuit breaker opens, protecting
the circuit until the problem is xed or goes away.
Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected
from short circuits by a combination of fuses
and circuit breakers. This greatly reduces
the chance of res caused by electrical problems.
Look at the silver-colored band inside the fuse.
If the band is broken or melted, replace the fuse.
Be sure you replace a bad fuse with a new
one of the identical size and rating.If you ever have a problem on the road and don’t
have a spare fuse, you can borrow one that has the
same amperage. Just pick some feature of your
vehicle that you can get along without — like the
radio or cigarette lighter — and use its fuse, if it
is the correct amperage. Replace it as soon as
you can.
Engine Compartment Fuse Block
The engine compartment fuse block is located in
the engine compartment, on the passenger’s
side of the vehicle.
SeeEngine Compartment Overview on page 330
for more information on location.
