12 SafetySeats Both front seats are electrically operated.
On certain models the driver´s seat is equip-
ped with a memory function.
To facilitate getting into the car, both seats
can be adjusted when either of the front
doors is open.
For safety reasons, if the door is closed, the
seat can only be adjusted when the ignition
is ON.
Note, however, that both seats can be
adjusted for 30 seconds after both doors
have been closed. The following seat adjustments can be
made to achieve a comfortable driving
position:
height
legroom
backrest rake angle
lumbar support (driver´s seat)
head-restraint height
We recommend that adjustments to the
driver’s seat be performed in the following
order:
1height
2 legroom
3 seat tilt angle
4 backrest rake angle
Lastly, adjust the steering wheel (see
page 106).
Side airbags(see page 32).Head restraint(see page 15).
HeightTo raise the seat, lift the lower control
straight up.
To lower the seat, press the lower control
down.
The same control can be used to adjust the
height of the front and rear edges of the seat
independently.
WARNING
The seats are actuated by powerful
motors. Bear this in mind when adjusting
the seat, and make sure that nothing gets
caught and damaged. Ensure that not-
hing can be trapped when adjusting the
seat.
Bear in mind that children can be injured
if they play with the electrically-operated
seats.
Always remove the ignition key when you
leave the car. This prevents personal
injury caused by the electrically adjusta-
ble seats, for example, due to children
playing.
WARNING
Never adjust the driver’s seat except
when the car is stationary.

14 SafetyMemory driver’s seat(if equipped)
In certain models the driver´s seat is equip-
ped with a programmable memory function.
This function also includes the door mirrors.
Adjust the seat and door mirrors.
To save the settings, press and hold the M
button and, at the same time, press one of
the preselect buttons (1, 2 or 3). The Saab
Information Display (SID) will chime to con-
firm that the settings have been saved.To recall the programmed settings, press
and hold the appropriate preset button,
whereupon the seat and mirrors will be
adjusted automatically.
To change the settings stored in a preset
button, adjust the seat and mirrors as before
and save the new settings by pressing M
and the appropriate preset button.
To facilitate reversing, the passenger side
door mirror can be tilted down automati-
cally, e.g. to show the curb. To do this,
select reverse and press the small grey
button adjacent to the door-mirror control.
When you deselect reverse, the mirror will
automatically return to its original setting
(see page 107).
Ventilated front seats(if equipped)
Ventilated front seats, that enhance seating
comfort in hot weather, are an option on Arc
and Aero models (certain markets).
Ventilated seats are equipped with two fans
that extract the moist air from between the
seat and the body.
The fans have three speeds and are OFF
when the switch is set to 0.
