equipped with a programmable memory
function. This function also includes the
door mirrors.

button and, at the same time, press one of
the preselect buttons (1, 2 or 3). The SID will
chime to confirm that the settings have been
saved.To recall the programmed settings, press
the appropriate preset button, whereupon
the seat and mirrors will be adjusted auto-
matically.

To facilitate reversing, the passenger side
door mirror can be tilted down automati-
cally, e.g. to show the curb. To do this,

125 Interior equipment and trunk
Rear-view mirrorsThe rear-view mirror has day/night positions
that can be selected by means of a knob
beneath the mirror. Adjust the mirror in day
position.
Door mirrorsThe passenger side door mirror is of the
wide-angle ‘‘aspheric” type.
The adjusting switch is on the driver’s door.
If the car is equipped with a programmable
driver’s seat, the settings of the door mirrors
can also be stored in the preset buttons for
the seat (see page 122).
The mirrors are heated, and the heating
comes on and goes off with the rear-window
heater. The door mirrors are designed to fold back
if knocked. They can also be fully retracted
for parking in tight spaces, such as on the
car deck of a ferry. Remember to fold them
out again before driving off.
WARNING
Take care not to trap your fingers
between the door and the mirror when
folding the mirror out again. NOTEThe door mirrors must be fully retracted
before the car enters an automatic car
wash.

126 Interior equipment and trunkCars equipped with a programmable
driver’s seat also have a facility for angling
the passenger’s mirror down on reversing,
e.g. for a better view of the curb.
After selecting reverse, press the tiny button
adjacent to the door-mirror switch to tilt the
mirror. The mirror will be reset automatically
when reverse gear is deselected.
Rear-view mirror with auto dimming
functionThe interior rear-view mirror has two sen-
sors, one forward-facing and one rear-fac-
ing.
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 rear-view mirror
is then darkened to prevent the strong light
source from dazzling the driver. This dark-
ening is stepless.
The mirror returns to its normal state 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.
The system is turned off when reverse gear
is engaged or selected.
Towing a trailer can cause the system to
malfunction, as the rear-facing sensor may
sense light from the trailer.

Child safety: rear windows (ON/OFF)The window switches on the rear doors can
be rendered inoperative by the ON/OFF
switch in the panel on the center console.
When the switch is ON, the rear side win-
dows can be operated by the switch on each
rear door. The switch’s back lighting will be
activated.
When the switch is OFF, the rear side win-
dows can only be operated from the panel

operating the sunroof. Make sure that
all passengers keep their heads,
hands and fingers clear of the opening
before operating the sunroof. Serious
personal injury may otherwise be
caused.

216 Car care and technical informationMaxi fusesThe Maxi fuses are housed in the fuse box
under the hood. These fuses can be
checked in the same way as the other fuses.
The Maxi fuses are designed to protect the
car’s electrical system from being dam-
aged. Each Maxi fuse protects a number of
electrical circuits and functions and there-
fore has a higher rating (amperage) than the
standard fuses. No spare Maxi fuses are
supplied with the car.
DICE / TWICEDICE = Dashboard Integrated Central Elec-
tronics
TWICE = Theft-Warning Central Electronics
DICE and TWICE are electronic control
modules that monitor and control a variety
of functions, including:
DICE controls (among other things):
Front lights and interior lighting.
Instrument illumination.
Intermittent wiper operation.
Electric heating of rear window and door
mirrors.
Cooling fans.
TWICE controls (among other things):
Central locking.
Car alarm (Anti-theft system).
Engine immobilizer.
Autochecking of lights.
Electric heating of rear seat.
Safety belt reminder.
Electrically adjustable passenger seat.The DICE and TWICE control modules are
linked to a data bus, which is basically an
information carrier that allows information to
be exchanged between all the control mod-
ules and components connected to the bus.
If a fault occurs in any of these components,
diagnostic faults codes are set in the rele-
vant control module, which facilitates fault
diagnosis at the Saab dealer.
The scan tool connector for fault diagnosis
is located under the instrument panel on the
drivers side.
NOTEIf a Maxi fuse blows, it means that there
is a major fault in the electrical system.
Have the car checked without delay by
an authorized Saab dealer.
