67 Instruments and controls
Interior lighting The interior lighting consists of one dome
light in the front and one in the back, a
map-reading light in the front, two reading
lights in the back, floor courtesy lights in the
front (in some model variants) and door
courtesy lights on all doors.
The courtesy lights come on automatically
when the respective door is opened. Each
reading light has its own switch adjacent to
the lamp.
The switch for the dome lights is on the front
overhead panel. When the switch is in the
mid-position (door-activated), the interior
lighting will come on:  When the car is unlocked from the out-
side.
 When any door is opened.
 When the ignition key is withdrawn from
the ignition switch.
When the switch on the overhead panel is in
the mid-position, the lighting is switched off
automatically 30 seconds after the last door
has been closed or when the ignition is
switched ON.
There is also a light in the sun visors. The
light comes on when the cover over the
vanity mirror is opened.
When the ignition is OFF, if a door has been
left open for 20 minutes, the interior lighting
will be switched off automatically to save the
battery.
Luggage-compartment lightingThe luggage-compartment lighting comes
on automatically when the trunk is opened
and goes out when the trunk is closed.
The lighting will also be switched off auto-
matically after 20 minutes if the trunk has
been left open.

74 Instruments and controls
The rear-window and door-mirror heating is
controlled manually. Switch off the heating as soon as the rear window
is clear, to avoid imposing a heavy load on the bat-
tery longer than necessary. Note, however, that the
heating will go off automatically after 5-10 minutes
(depending on the outdoor temperature) or sooner
if the voltage in the electrical system falls below
10 V
.
The ACC system can be programmed to switch on
the heating automatically when the outdoor temper-
ature is below 41°F (+5°C) and the temperature
inside the car is below 50°F (+10°C) (see ”Program-
ming I and II”, on pages 76 and 77).
Recirculation is selected automatically for effective
cooling, but it can also be switched on/off manually.
Although recirculation does not substantially affect
the air quality, it is useful to prevent unpleasant
smells or fumes being drawn into the car from
outside.

To increase the fan speed in steps.
If, after being off, the ignition is switched on but the
engine is not started, the fan will run at low speed
until the engine is running.
To decrease the fan speed in steps.
If the fan is set to 0, the A/C compressor will cut out
and ECON will appear on the display.
If, after being off, the ignition is switched on but the
engine is not started, the fan will run at low speed
until the engine is running.

78 Instruments and controlsTo program a function or to cancel a programmed function, press
and hold in the relevant button until the corresponding symbol has
flashed four times on the display and a chime has sounded.
Make sure the ignition is ON.

window and door mirrors ON/OFF automatically, press and hold in
until the symbol has flashed four times on the display and a
chime has sounded.
The display shows:
ACC: AUTO
RDEFR CTRL
Once a function has been recorded under ”Programming II”, it will
remain in the system until you cancel the program.
AUTO will still show on the display after a function has been saved
in ”Programming II”.
Calibration If the battery has been disconnected or has died, the system will
need to be recalibrated.
To start the calibration procedure:
1 Start the engine.
2 Press and simultaneously.
Calibration takes about 30 seconds. During this time and for about
3 seconds after the operation has been completed, the number of
fault codes (if any) stored in the system will appear in the tempera-
ture display on the left. The fault codes themselves will be shown in
the temperature display on the right. Useful tips (Before driving the car to an authorized Saab dealer)
 If AUTO is not shown on the display, see ”Cancelling the pro-
grammed settings (I)” on page 76.
 If you suspect that the ACC system is not functioning properly,
cancel (delete) all programmed settings and then recalibrate the
system.
See ”Cancelling the programmed settings (I) and (II)”, pages 76
and 77, and ”Calibration” above.
Note that AUTO will show on the display even if you have com-
pleted Programming II, but that this does not apply to Program-
ming I.
 If the battery has been disconnected or has died, the ACC system
will need to be recalibrated. See ”Calibration” above. Function Text displayed on SID
