Sound system The sound system is called harman/kar- don® Sound System. Loudness is con- trolled automatically by the audio system, boosting the highest and lowest frequency 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.

harman/kardon® Sound System The harman/kardon® Sound System system has 9 speakers: three mounted in the instrument panel fascia (the center 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.

Antennas The audio system has two antennas incor- porated in the rear window: one for FM and one for AM. The XMTM Satellite Radio antenna 3 is located on the roof of the vehicle. 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 performance of the XMTM system 3. 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 3
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.

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.

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 buttons 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 buttons. 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 constantly, 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 antenna wire is attached to the motor-head unit.

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 complete 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.

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 learning) mode and can be programmed at any time beginning with "Programming" - step 3.

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.

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 button, proceed 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.

Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interfer- ence that may cause undesired operation of this device.

Rearview auto-dimming mirrors 3
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.

Compass zones in Canada

Compass zones in US

Changing zones The earth’s magnetic fields vary depending on one’s position on the globe. If you drive your car from one magnetic zone to another the compass setting will need to be changed to ensure a correct bearing. 1 Study the illustrations to determine the

correct zone.

2 Press and hold button 5 until "ZONE" is

shown in the display on the mirror (6 seconds). The zone number setting now is also shown.

3 Press button 5 repeatedly to change the zone number. There are 15 zones from which to choose. Once the correct zone is selected, release the button and wait 4 seconds. The compass will now display the bearing.

Calibration Calibration is performed automatically during travel. If an accessory, such as a mobile phone, is fitted and it can be assumed that the compass is affected, the compass may need to be calibrated manu- ally. 1 Press and hold button 5 until "CAL" and

the compass bearing are displayed (approx. 9 seconds).

2 Drive in circles (max. 5 mph/8 km/h) or drive as normal until "CAL" is no longer displayed.

WARNING

(cid:127) Place heavy items closest to the backrest and stow smaller

and lighter items on top.

(cid:127) Never overload the cargo net 3. If the elastic breaks this may cause personal injury. Do not use a cargo net that shows signs of wear.

(cid:127) Secure heavy and bulky items using the tie down points

provided in the trunk. This will avert the danger of luggage flying around if the car should brake suddenly or be involved in a crash (see page 131).

(cid:127) Secure small items if the backrest is folded down or the

load-through hatch is open. Small items can also be thrown around inside the car and cause personal injury.

(cid:127) Do not exceed the load capacity of the car, as this will alter its

handling characteristics (see page 258).

(cid:127) Make sure that the seat cushions and backrests are properly

secured when folding them back to their normal position. Check that the button (item 3 on page 129) is flush with the surround before entering the back seat.

The tail pipe of the exhaust system can become very hot during driving. Bear this in mind when loading and unloading the car so that children, for example, do not burn themselves.

Load anchoring

WARNING

(cid:127) Put heavy loads as low down and as

far forward as possible in the luggage compartment, i.e. against the back of the rear seat.

(cid:127) Never overload the cargo net 3. If the elastic breaks this may cause personal injury. Do not use a cargo net that shows signs of wear.

(cid:127) Never stack cargo so high that any part of the cargo lies above the edge of the backrest, if a cargo guard 3 is not being used.

(cid:127) Always tie down the cargo so that it

cannot be thrown forward during heavy braking or in the event of a crash.

(cid:127) Unsecured and heavy cargo can

increase the risk of injury during hard braking, sudden avoidance maneu- vers and in the event of a crash.

(cid:127) For the best load anchoring, use the special cargo tie down eye and load straps 3.

(cid:127) Load the cargo tie down eyes evenly. Never attach more than one strap to each tie down eye.

Interior equipment and trunk

135

WARNING

(cid:127) Match the speed and driving style

according to how the car is loaded. The driving characteristics of the car can be affected because the center of gravity is altered when there is a cargo in the luggage compartment.

(cid:127) An object weighing 55 lbs. (25 kg) cor-

responds to a weight of 2200 lbs. (1000 kg) in a head on crash at 32 mph (50 km/h).

(cid:127) Adjust the car’s load (passengers and

luggage) so that the gross vehicle weight or the axle weight is not exceeded, see page 258.

Driving with the trunk lid/tailgate open, see page 181.

(cid:127) Provide protection on sharp edges to

prevent damage to the load straps.

(cid:127) Never use the elastic floor net 3 and elastic side net (accessory) when the rear seat is folded down. These nets are only intended to keep light objects tidy, not for the anchoring of loads.

(cid:127) If possible, avoid having the rear seat folded down when driving with a heavy load because the anchoring possibili- ties are restricted when the rear seat is in this position. That the rear seat is in the upright position is a basic requirement for protection against cargo displacement in the event of a crash.

(cid:127) Cargo can intrude into the passenger compartment during a sudden stop or front crash if the outer safety belts are not fastened. Check that the two red warning-indication flags are fully down. This shows that the backrests are locked.

Items to keep light objects tidy 3: (cid:127) Elastic floor cargo net 3. (cid:127) Elastic side cargo net for the right-hand

side of the luggage compartment 3.

The elastic nets may only be used to keep light objects tidy, not for anchoring. The floor net should be attached to the cargo tie down eye that are mounted on the CargoTracks™. Place the tie down eyes as far forward and as far back as possible on the CargoTracks™.

The side netting should be attached to the two tie down eyes which are included in the accessory kit and to two of the eyes mounted on the right-hand CargoTrack™ on the floor. The cargo tie down eyes, load straps and elastic nets are stored in the two floor lock- ers on the right- and left-hand side of the luggage compartment.

Cargo net 3

WARNING

The cargo in the luggage compartment must be anchored properly, even if the cargo net is correctly in position. The only purpose of the net is to prevent light objects from being thrown about in the cabin during heavy braking or in the event of a crash.

Install the net behind the rear seat backrest. 1 Remove the rearmost covers from the

roof.

2 Fasten the attachments at the top of the net to the two attachment points in the roof.

3 Secure a lashing eye furthest forward on each of the CargoTracks (see previous page). Attach the hooks on the net to these eyes. Tension the straps.
