49 Security
Activating the car alarm The car alarm cannot be activated if the
driver’s door is open or if the ignition switch
is in ON position.
If, on the other hand, one of the other doors
or the trunk or hood is open or opened and
not closed again during the 10-seconds
delay period, it will be excluded from the
alarm function.
If it is then closed, a new delay period of ten
seconds will start, and the door (or trunk or
hood) will once again be secured by the
alarm system.
As usual, the LED will be on continuously
during the new delay period and will start to
flash once every other second after the
10-seconds period has elapsed.
Window glass sensorThe car-alarm system incorporates a
sensor that monitors the window glass for
the sound of breakage. The sensor is fitted
inside the rear dome light.
To avoid false alarms, such as the alarm
being triggered by noise from passers by
when the windows have been left open, or
when children or pets are left inside the car,
the sensor can be temporarily disabled.
To disable the sensor
To disable the sensor, first turn off the igni-
tion and remove the key from the switch.
Next, press and hold the NIGHT PANEL
button until ”DOOR ALARM ONLY” appears
on the Saab Information Display (SID) and
a chime sounds. The car alarm must now be
activated within three minutes, or the glass
sensor will become active again.
The glass sensor will be enabled again
automatically when the car is next unlocked.
The sensor can also be enabled again by
repeating the procedure for disabling it.
When the sensor has been enabled, ”FULL
THEFT ALARM” will appear on the Saab
Information Display (SID).
If a fault is detected in the glass sensor,
”SERVICE THEFT ALARM” will appear on
the Saab Information Display (SID).
Electronic starting interlock
(immobilizer) When the key is inserted in the ignition, a
signal is sent to the receiver. If the signal is
verified, the engine can be started.
Each time the key is removed from the igni-
tion, the electronic immobilizer is activated.
This means that the car cannot be started
without the correct key inserted in the igni-
tion and the immobilizer thus deactivated.
If a fault is detected (e.g. in the transmitter)
”KEY NOT ACCEPTED” will appear on the
Saab Information Display (SID).
In this case, you can still start the car if you
turn the ignition key to ON and press one of
the buttons on the key (providing that the
receiver gets the right signal from the key).
Take the car to an authorized Saab dealer to
have the system checked.
The LED double-flashes when the car is
immobilized.

bution of brake pressure between front

Engine malfunction
(CHECK ENGINE)
This light indicates a malfunction in the
fuel-injection or ignition system. The car
may still be driven with care and with some-
what diminished performance (see page
155).
Indicator, fuel
This light comes on when there is less than
about 2.5 gallons (10 liters) of fuel left in the
tank.
WARNING
An illuminated ”Engine malfunction
(CHECK ENGINE)” indicator light indi-
cates an engine-related problem. While
your car may be able to be driven with the
”Engine malfunction (CHECK ENGINE)”
indicator light illuminated (Limp-home
mode), you are advised to have your car
serviced at an authorized Saab dealer as
soon as possible.
Continued driving without this problem
being corrected might cause serious
further damage to your car and create
unsafe driving conditions. The operator
should be prepared to take action if such
unsafe conditions arise (e.g.brake
smoothly, engage neutral, stop in a suita-
ble place, switch off the engine, etc.).
NOTICEThe car should be checked immediately
at an authorized Saab dealer to prevent
more serious faults from arising.NOTICEIf the car runs out of fuel, air can be drawn
in with the fuel, which, in turn, can cause
the catalytic converter to be damaged by
overheating.
