1. Insert a key or other hard pointed ob-
ject into the slot in the connector (buckle)
on the right-hand side and push it in, and
the connector (tongue) plate will discon-
nect from the buckle.
2. Allow the retractor to roll up the belt.You should hold the webbing end and
guide it back into the retractor while it is
rolling up. Insert the tongue plate into the
belt holder.

Seatbelt maintenanceTo clean the seatbelts, use a mild soap
and lukewarm water. Never bleach or dye
the belts because this could seriously af-
fect their strength.
Inspect the seatbelts and attachments in-
cluding the webbing and all hardware pe-
riodically for cracks, cuts, gashes, tears,
damage, loose bolts or worn areas. Re-
place the seatbelts even if only minor
damage is found.

Do not allow the retractor to roll
up the seatbelt too quickly. Other-
wise, the metal tongue plates may
hit against the trim, resulting in
damaged trim.

Have the seatbelt fully rolled up
so that the tongue plates are neat-
ly stored. A hanging tongue plate
can swing and hit against the trim
during driving, causing damage to
the trim.

Keep the belts free of polishes,
oils, chemicals and particularly
battery acid.

Never attempt to make modifica-
tions or changes that will prevent
the seatbelt from operating prop-
erly.

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.
