72 Instruments and controls
Temperature control The cabin is divided into two temperature
zones:
The driver’s zone.
The passenger zone (front and rear
seats).
The desired temperature can be set
between 58 and 82°F (15 and 27°C). In
addition, there are also HI and LO settings
(see below). The HI and LO settings for the
passenger zone can only be selected if they
are also selected for the driver’s zone.
The displayed temperature is not the abso-
lute temperature but corresponds to the
comfort level normally experienced at that
temperature after allowance has been
made for the air flow, relative humidity, solar
radiation, etc., currently prevailing inside
the car.
The most usual temperature setting is
64-76°F (18-24°C), depending on per-
sonal preference and what clothing is
worn.
It is recommended that changes in the
temperature setting be made in steps of
2°F (1°C).
Once the desired climate has been
achieved, the rear center vents can be
closed to prevent warm air being distrib-
uted at face height.Settings when HI selected:
Maximum heat.
Air distribution to windshield and floor.
Recirculation OFF (even if manually
selected before).
Fan: high speed.
Settings shown on ACC display.
Settings when LO selected:
Maximum cooling (A/C compressor will
run even if ECON manually selected
before).
Air distribution through panel vents.
Fan: maximum speed.
Recirculation ON.
Settings shown on ACC display.

the temperature display on the right. Useful tips (Before driving the car to an authorized Saab dealer)

ming I.

Voice CommandsPersonal Calling is made available through
your voice commands to the system. This
allows you to verbally control all of the
phone functions.
Your OnStar wireless phone system has
been programmed to respond to a wide vari-
ety of voices and accents. You should
speak distinctly in a normal speaking vol-
ume. It is not necessary to exaggerate your
voice or to speak loudly. Speak numerical
digits one at a time, and then wait for confir-
mation before going to the next digit.Voice Command Error MessagesPardon – The system has not been able to
match your command with a word that it
knows. Repeating the command distinctly
should fix the problem.
Slower Please – Repeat the command
after a short pause. This response normally
happens if you say a command before the
system is ready for it or if there is substantial
background noise.
Universal CommandsHelp – The system will provide a list of avail-
able commands.
Clear – When you are entering digits, this
command will erase the last digit entered.
Cancel – This command takes you from the
current function to the ”Ready” prompt. If the
last response from the system was ”Ready,”
this command will exit voice recognition.Placing a CallThere are three ways to place a call:
1 By using a particular number, say ”DIAL”
2 By using a stored nametag, say ”CALL”
3 By dialing the last number, say
”REDIAL”To dial a number:To dial using a ”Nametag”:

114 OnStar - TelematicsStoring/Deleting Numbers in
Memory(Nametags)Storing a numberYour OnStar system can store up to 20
numbers (up to 32 digits each) in memory
that can be dialed by simply repeating the
”nametag.”To store a number:Deleting a Number from Memory
To delete a nametag:Setting Tone or Voice ResponseYour system comes from the factory with
voice responses to your commands to con-
firm that the system received the command
or number you intended. For example,
when you are entering a number, OnStar
repeats the number back to you. You may
change the system to respond with a tone
response if you prefer. A ready tone, a digit
tone, or a goodbye tone will respond instead
of the voice. All other responses will still be
by voice.

time you have purchased and used in units.

stored within the OnStar system, and can be
accessed easily.Adding More Calling Minutes / UnitsYou can charge additional calling units with
