then turn it from the “LOCK” position to
the “ON” position 10 times within 15
seconds.NOTEWhen you complete step 2), an elec-
tronic tone will sound once.
If you do not perform steps 1) and 2)
within 45 seconds, an error will occur.
An electronic tone will not sound. In
this event, perform the whole proce-
dure again beginning with part 1.

dure again starting with part 3.
7. Perform parts 5 and 6 of the procedure
for each of the remaining digits of the
transmitter code beginning with the sec-
ond digit (counting from the left) and fin-
ishing with the eighth digit. NOTEWhen you finish entering the eighth
digit, an electronic tone will sound for
30 seconds.
If the interval between one push of
the switch and the next exceeds five
seconds, an error will occur. In this
event, perform the procedure again be-
ginning with part 4. If an error occurs
six times, perform the procedure again
starting with part 3.
8. Before the electronic tone stops sound-
ing, use the power door lock switch toagain enter the transmitter code beginning
with the leftmost digit.
NOTEIf you do not start entering the number
using the lock switch before the elec-
tronic tone stops sounding, an error
will occur. In this event, perform the
procedure again beginning with part 3.
9. When you have finished entering the
code a second time, an electronic tone will
sound for one second to indicate comple-
tion of registration, provided the code en-
tered the second time is identical to that
entered the first time.NOTEIf the code entered the second time is
not identical to the code entered the
first time, an error will occur. In this
event, perform the procedure again be-
ginning with part 5. If an error occurs
five times, perform the procedure
again starting with part 3.
10.If you wish to program another trans-
mitter code into the system (up to four
transmitter codes can be programmed
into the system), perform the procedure
beginning with part 4. When you have fin-
ished programming all of the necessary
transmitter codes into the system, remove
the key from the ignition switch.11.Test every registered transmitter to
confirm correct operation.
Deleting old transmitter codes
The control unit of the keyless entry sys-
tem has four memory locations to store
transmitter codes, giving it the ability to
operate with up to four transmitters. When
you lose a transmitter, the lost transmit-
ter’s code remains in the memory. For se-
curity reasons, lost transmitter codes
should be deleted from the memory.
To delete old transmitter codes, program
four transmitter codes into the system. If
you have only one current transmitter,
program it four times. If you have two cur-
rent transmitters, program each one twice.
If you have three current transmitters, pro-
gram two of them once and the third one
twice. This process will leave only current
transmitter codes in the system’s memory.
NOTEMake sure no one else is operating
their keyless entry system within range
of your vehicle when programming
transmitters. If someone else were to
operate their remote transmitter while
you are programming your transmit-
ters, it is possible that their transmitter
code will be programmed into your
system, allowing them unauthorized
access to your vehicle.

The 30-second standby time can be
eliminated if you prefer. Have it per-
formed by your Saab dealer.
The system is in the standby mode
for a 30-second period after locking the
doors with the remote transmitter. The
security indicator light will flash at
short intervals during this period.
If any of the following actions is done
during the standby period, the system
will not switch to the surveillance state.
Doors are unlocked using the re-
mote transmitter.
Any door or the rear liftgate is
opened.
Ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position.
The engine does not start even when
the ignition switch is turned to the
“START” position once the alarm sys-
tem has been triggered.Disarming the systemBriefly press the “ ” button (for less
than two seconds) on the remote transmit-
ter. The driver’s door will unlock, an elec-
tronic chirp will sound twice, the turn sig-
nal lights will flash twice and the indicator
light will go off.
NOTE (Models with immobiliz-
er)If your vehicle is equipped with an im-
mobilizer, the immobilizer’s function
will cause the security indicator light to
flash (approximately once every three
seconds) even after the system is dis-
armed.NOTEThe system can be disarmed by the fol-
lowing method.
Cycle the ignition switch from the
“LOCK” to the “ON” position three
times within 5 seconds.
Emergency disarming
If you cannot disarm the system using the
transmitter (i.e. the transmitter is lost, bro-
ken or the transmitter battery is too weak),
you can disarm the system without using
the transmitter.
1. Unlock the door with the key and then
open the door.
2. Insert the key into the ignition switch
and cycle it from the “LOCK” to the “ON”
position three times within 5 seconds.Valet modeWhen you choose the valet mode, the se-
curity system does not operate. In valet
mode, the remote transmitter is used onlyfor locking and unlocking the doors and
rear liftgate and panic activation.
To enter the valet mode, change the set-
ting of your vehicle’s alarm system for de-
activation mode. (Refer to “Activating and
deactivating the alarm system” in this sec-
tion.) The security indicator light will con-
tinue to flash once every three seconds in-
dicating that the system is in the valet
mode (only vehicle with an immobilizer).
To exit valet mode, change the setting of
your vehicle’s alarm system for activation
mode. (Refer to “Activating and deactivat-
ing the alarm system” in this section.)
NOTEIf your vehicle is not equipped with an
immobilizer, the security indicator light
does not flash during the valet mode.Passive armingWhen passive arming mode has been
programmed by the dealer, arming of the
system is automatically accomplished
without using the remote transmitter. Note
that in this mode, DOORS MUST BE
MANUALLY LOCKED.
To enter the passive mode
If you wish to program the passive arming
mode, have it done by your Saab dealer.

switch is turned to the “ON” position.
Rearming the alarm system cancels
the flashing.
Child safety locksEach rear door has a child safety lock that
prevents the doors from being opened
even if the inside door handle is pulled.
When the child safety lock lever is in the
lock position, the door cannot be opened
from inside regardless of the position of
the inner door handle lock lever. The door
can only be opened from the outside.
WindowsPower windowsThe power windows operate only when
the ignition switch is in the “ON” position. Always use the child safety lock
whenever a child rides in the rear
seat. Serious injury could result if a
child accidentally opened the door
and fell out.
LOCK
200876
To avoid serious personal injury
caused by entrapment, you must do
the following.
When operating the power win-
dows, be extremely careful to pre-
vent anyone’s fingers, arms, neck
or head from being caught in the
window.
Always lock the passengers’ win-
dows using the lock switch when
children are riding in the vehicle.
Before leaving the vehicle, always
remove the key from the ignition
switch for safety and never allow
an unattended child to remain in
the vehicle. Failure to follow this
procedure could result in injury to
a child operating the power win-
dow.

To close the rear liftgate, lower it slowly
and push down firmly until the latch en-
gages.
The rear liftgate can be lowered easily if
you pull down on the recessed grip.
NOTEIf the rear liftgate cannot be unlocked
due to a discharged battery, a fault in
the door locking/unlocking system or
other causes, you can unlock it by
manually operating the rear liftgate
lock release lever.
For the procedure, refer to “Rear lift-gate – if the rear liftgate cannot be un-
locked” in chapter 9 “In case of emer-
gency” .
To prevent dangerous exhaust
gas from entering the vehicle, al-
ways keep the rear liftgate closed
while driving.
200887
Do not attempt to shut the rear lift-
gate while holding the recessed
grip. Also avoid closing the rear
liftgate by pulling on the recessed
grip from inside the cargo space.
There is a danger of your hand be-
ing caught and injured.
Do not jam a plastic bag in or
place cellophane tape on the rear
gas struts or scratch the struts
while loading or unloading cargo.
That could cause leakage of gas
from the struts, which may result
in their inability to hold the rear
liftgate open.
Be careful not to hit your head or
face on the rear liftgate when
opening or closing the rear lift-
gate and when loading or unload-
ing cargo.
