at the same
When manual calibration starts, ACC:CALABRATION STARTED appears in SID. Calibration takes approx. 30 seconds. Useful tips (before taking the car to a workshop. We recommend that you contact an authorised Saab workshop.)
If the battery has been disconnected or has run flat, the system will need to be recalibrated. See "Calibration" above. If front seat heating and/or rear window heating do not function satisfactorily, see "Adaptation of ACC" on page 85.
Condensation water When the A/C system is running, the intake air is dehumidified, and the resultant con- densation is drained off through two outlets underneath the floor of the car, in the vicinity of the front doors. It is therefore perfectly normal for water to be seen dripping from these outlets when the car is parked. The warmer the ambient air and the higher the humidity, the more condensation water will form. Formation of ice and mist in extreme weather conditions It is only in the most extreme conditions that icing and misting of window glass are likely to be a problem, e.g. in torrential rain or severe cold coupled with high relative humidity, or when passengers are perspir- ing heavily or wearing wet clothes. The following measures are recommended if such problems should occur: 1 Select AUTO and 21 °C for both temper-
ature zones.
2 Select Defroster.
If this is not enough...
3 Increase the fan speed.
If this is not enough...
4 Select a higher temperature. The following measures are recommended if the occupants feel that it is cold and draughty in the car:

Sound system The sound system is called Prestige. Loud- ness is controlled automatically by the audio system, boosting the highest and lowest fre- quency ranges to enhance the sound image when the volume is set to a low level. Sound reproduction is therefore excellent what- ever the volume setting. The 9-5 SportCombi has 8 speakers as there is only one subwoofer in the luggage compartment.
Prestige The Prestige system has 9 speakers: three mounted in the instrument panel fascia (the centre speaker further enhances the sound image), one in each door and two subwoof- ers in the parcel shaft. The subwoofers enhance reproduction of the lowest bass notes.

Keep this antenna clear of snow and ice build up for clear radio reception. (cid:127) Roof loads can negatively affect telecom- munication, GPS reception and the per- formance of the XM system . If sun film is fitted to the rear window, it must be a pure-plastic variety to maintain good radio reception. Ensure that the film does not contain any metal.
NOTICE
Refrain from placing hard or sharp objects on the rear parcel shelf, to avoid damaging the antenna leads.
Multipath propagation Multipath propagation occurs when radio waves from an FM transmitter are reflected by a large building, or the like, causing them to arrive slightly later than the direct waves. This can create interference to radio recep- tion. See also "Diversity antenna".
Diversity antenna To improve radio reception when the topog- raphy is a problem, a second FM antenna, known as a diversity antenna, can be fitted in the rear window. Consult a Saab dealer for further information.

Saab 9-5 Audio System
FM
AM
Shadow effect Because FM radio waves travel in straight lines from the transmitter, a shadow effect can occur when tall buildings or hills obstruct the propagation path from the transmitter to the car.
Cross modulation If the radio is tuned to a weak transmitter in the vicinity of a stronger one, the car’s antennas will receive signals from both. Such interference is apparent when the unwanted broadcast can be heard faintly in the background.
Radio waves, FM/AM FM radio waves radiate in straight lines from the transmitter. Because such waves do not follow the curvature of the Earth, their strength becomes weaker the further they travel. That is why a large number of trans- mitters is needed to provide good reception. AM waves, on the other hand, are reflected off the ionosphere, thus greatly extending their range.

Sources of FM interference Interference to FM reception can be caused by the electrical systems in other vehicles, particularly if the signal from the transmitter is weak.
Sources of AM interference AM reception is prone to interference, e.g. from electrical systems in other vehicles, high-tension power lines and lightning.

WARNING
Make sure that people and objects are out of the way of a moving door or gate to pre- vent potential harm or damage. When programming the garage opener, you may be operating a garage door or gate operator. Therefore it is advised to park outside of the garage. Do not use the garage opener with any garage door opener that lacks the safety stop and reverse feature as required by federal safety standards. (This includes any garage door opener model manufac- tured before April 1, 1982.). A garage door opener which cannot detect an object, signalling the door to stop and reverse, does not meet current federal safety standards. Using a garage door opener without these features increases risk of serious injury or death.
Retain your original garage door transmitter for future programming procedures (i.e., new vehicle purchase). It is also suggested that upon the sale of the vehicle, the pro- grammed garage opener buttons be erased for security purposes.

8 Firmly press and release the "learn" or "smart" button. (The name and color of the button may vary by manufacturer.)
Note: There are 30 seconds in which to ini- tiate step nine. 9 Return to the vehicle and firmly press, hold for two seconds and release the programmed button. Repeat the "press/hold/release" sequence a second time, and, depending on the brand of the garage door opener (or other rolling code equipped device), repeat this sequence a third time to com- plete the programming process. The garage opener should now activate your rolling code equipped device.
Note: To program the remaining two but- tons, begin with "Programming" - step three. Do not repeat step two.
Preparations for first-time programming Before programming the garage opener for the first time, you must delete any factory codes. Press and hold the two outer buttons until the indicator light begins to flash-after 20 seconds. Release both buttons. Do not hold for longer that 30 seconds. The garage opener is now in the train (or learning) mode and can be programmed at any time begin- ning with "Programming" - step 2.
Programming The garage opener can record and store the frequencies of three different remote con- trols. The battery in the remote control should be fairly new for programming to work well. Do not repeat "Programming" - step two to train additional devices to a second or third button. Begin with "Programming" - step three. 1 Turn the ignition ON. 2 Press and hold the two outer buttons
(buttons one and three) - releasing only when the indicator light begins to flash (after 20 seconds). Do not hold the but- tons for longer than 30 seconds and do not repeat step two to program a second and/or third hand-held transmit- ter to the remaining two buttons.
3 Position the end of your hand-held trans- mitter 1-3 inches (5-14 cm) away from the button you wish to program while keeping the indicator light in view. The
transmitter should face the mirror from below or left side of the mirror.
4 Simultaneously press and hold both the
chosen and hand-held transmitter but- tons. Do not release the buttons until step 5 has been completed.
Note: Some gate operators and garage door openers may require you to replace this Programming Step 4 with procedures noted in the "Gate Operator / Canadian Pro- gramming" section. 5 After the indicator light changes from a slow to a rapidly blinking light, release both the mirror and hand-held transmit- ter buttons.
6 Press and hold the just-trained button
and observe the indicator light. If the indicator light stays on con- stantly, programming is complete and your device should activate when the button is pressed and released.
Note: To program the remaining two but- tons, begin with "Programming" - step three. Do not repeat step two. If the indicator light blinks rapidly for two seconds and then turns to a constant light continue with "Programming" steps 7-9 to complete the programming of a rolling code equipped device (most com- monly a garage door opener). 7 At the garage door opener receiver
(motor-head unit) in the garage, locate the "learn" or "smart" button. This can usually be found where the hanging

Reprogramming a single button To program a device to the garage opener using a button previously trained, follow these steps: 1 Press and hold the desired button. DO
NOT release the button.
2 The indicator light will begin to flash after 20 seconds. Without releasing the but- ton, proceed with "Programming" - step 3.
Erasing the three buttons To erase programming from the three but- tons (individual buttons cannot be erased but can be "reprogrammed" as outlined below), follow the step noted: (cid:127) Press and hold the two outer buttons until
the indicator light begins to flash-after 20 seconds. Release both buttons. Do not hold for longer that 30 seconds. The garage opener is now in the train (or learn- ing) mode and can be programmed at any time beginning with "Programming" - step 3.
Gate Operator / Canadian Programming Canadian radio-frequency laws require transmitter signals to "time-out" (or quit) after several seconds of transmission - which may not be long enough for the garage opener to pick up the signal during programming. Similar to this Canadian law, some U.S. gate operators are designed to "time-out" in the same manner. If you live in Canada or you are having diffi- culties programming a gate operator by using the "Programming" procedures (regardless of where you live), replace "Programming " step 4 with the following: Note: If programming a garage door opener or gate operator, it is advised to unplug the device during the "cycling" process to pre- vent possible overheating. Continue to press and hold the button while you press and release - every two sec- onds ("cycle") your hand-held transmitter until the frequency signal has successfully been accepted by the garage opener. (The indicator light will flash slowly and then rap- idly.) Proceed with "Programming" step five to complete.
NOTICE
Switch off the power supply to the garage door or gate (or park the car beyond the range of the remote control) while pro- gramming using the "cycling" method to prevent damaging the electrical motor.

Rearview auto-dimming mirrors The autodimming is activated and deacti- vated with a short push on button 2. If the mirror is equipped with Garage Door Opener (option) the letter 1 is displayed on compass bearing display briefly when auto dimming is activated. When deactivating the letter 0 is displayed. The interior rearview mirror has two sen- sors, one forward-facing and one rear-fac- ing. They also activate and deactivate the auto dimming feature on door mirrors. The system is activated when the for- ward-facing sensor detects that it is dark outside and the rear-facing sensor detects. For example, if the car following has not dimmed its headlights. The rearview mirrors are then darkened to prevent the strong light source from dazzling the driver. This dark- ening is stepless. The mirrors return to their normal states when the strong light source diminishes. The auto dimming function can be turned OFF with the switch on the lower edge of the rear-view mirror.
NOTE Towing a trailer can cause the system to malfunction, as the rear-facing sensor may sense light from the trailer.
