spective of the position of the ignition
switch. If the parking lights are on and the
driver’s door is opened, a reminder to turn
them off will sound.

lowing message appears in SID:Low beam headlights are turned on when
the ignition switch is turned to ON and

tion switch is in the ON position.
Headlight levelling3
33 3Cars with xenon headlights are equipped
with an automatic headlight levelling sys-
tem, which self-calibrates each time the
vehicle is started.
If a fault arises in the automatic headlight
levelling system, the headlights will be
angled down to avoid dazzling drivers in
oncoming traffic. Adjust your speed accord-
ingly as the range of the headlights will be
reduced. Check fuse 20 in the engine bay
fuse box (see page 242).
A fault in the system will produce the follow-
ing message on the Saab Information Dis-
play (SID):
Special equipment is required for adjusting
the basic headlight alignment.

FunctionsPressing AUTO will cancel all manual settings.
If a manual function is selected, it will be locked in but other functions
will be controlled automatically.
The selected temperature is always maintained automatically.
Temperature, air distribution, fan speed and recir-
culation will be controlled automatically.
Pressing AUTO once will cancel all previous manual
air distribution selections.
When the engine is started, the ACC system will be
in AUTO mode.
The A/C-compressor is turned off.
The incoming air is not cooled or dehumidified. Tem-
perature, air distribution, fan speed and recirculation
will be controlled automatically.
Turn the fan control counterclockwise until "OFF"
lights up.

Fan OFF.
A/C-compressor OFF.
Air distribution selections locked in current settings.
Recirculation can be selected manually.
Heating3 of the front seats is deactivated.
Pressing AUTO-button will put the system into auto-
matic mode.
Reactivation by turning the fan control clockwise one
click causes the system to resume any manual selec-
tions.
The rear window and door mirror heating is controlled
manually.
Deactivate the heating as soon as the rear window is
clear of ice and misting to avoid imposing a heavy
load on the battery longer than necessary. Note, how-
ever, that heating will deactivate automatically after a
set time.
Turn the fan control to increase fan speed.
If fan speed 0 is selected, the A/C-compressor will be
disengaged and the indicator on the AC OFF button
will illuminate.
The recirculation is controlled automatically for opti-
mum cooling.
If necessary, recirculation can also be switched on
manually for shorter times to avoid unpleasant air
from entering the cabin for example.
Poor air quality in the cabin could lead to tiredness.
For this reason you should only drive in the recircula-
tion position temporarily.
If recirculation is switched on when the outside tem-
perature is lower than about +37°F (+3°C) (A/C com-
pressor disengaged) then the air humidity in the cabin
increases which could cause misting on the windows.
