Remote keyless entry sys-temTwo transmitters are provided for your ve-
hicle.
The remote keyless entry system has the
following functions.
Locking and unlocking the doors (and
rear liftgate) without a key
Sounding a panic alarm
Arming and disarming the alarm sys-
tem. See the next section “Alarm system”
for detailed information.
This device complies with Part 15 of
the FCC Rules and with RSS-210 of In-
dustry Canada. Operation is subject to
the following two conditions: (1) This
device may not cause harmful interfer-
ence, and (2) this device must accept
any interference received, including in-
terference that may cause undesired
operation.
Changes or modifications not express-
ly approved by the party responsible
for compliance could void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.
The operable distance of the keyless entry
system is approximately 30 feet (10
meters). However, this distance will vary
depending on environmental conditions.The system’s operable distance will be
shorter in areas near a facility or electronic
equipment emitting strong radio waves
such as a power plant, broadcast station,
TV tower, or remote controller of home
electronic appliances.
The remote keyless entry system does not
operate when the key is inserted in the ig-
nition switch to prevent accidental lockout.

Press to Lock all doors.
Press and Hold to activate panic
alarm.
Press three times in a five-second
period to use vehicle finder func-
tion.: UNLOCK/DISARM button
1) Press once to Unlock driver’s
door.
2) Press a second time to Unlock
all other doors (and rear lift-
gate).
Locking the doorsBriefly press the “ ” button (for less
than two seconds) to lock all doors (and
rear liftgate).
An electronic chirp will sound once and
the turn signal lights will flash once. Do not expose the transmitter to
severe shocks, such as those ex-
perienced as a result of dropping
or throwing.
Do not take the transmitter apart
except when replacing the bat-
tery.
Do not get the transmitter wet. If it
gets wet, wipe it dry with a cloth
immediately.

side of the power door locking switch,
close the driver’s door once within 10 sec-
onds after Step 4.
6. The turn signal lights flashes 3 times to
indicate completion of the setting.NOTEIf you do not close the driver’s door
within 10 seconds after Step 4, a flash
of the turn signal lights will signal time-
out. If this happens, repeat the whole
procedure from Step 1.
You may have the above settings done by
your Saab dealer.Replacing the batteryWhen the transmitter battery begins to get
weak, transmitter range will begin to de-
crease. Replace the battery as soon as
possible.To replace the battery:
0
1. Open the transmitter case using a flat-
head screwdriver.
2. Separate the case.
3. Remove the old battery from the hold-
er.
1) Negative (–) side facing up4. Replace with a new battery (Type
CR2025 or equivalent) making sure to in-
stall the new battery with the negative (–)
side facing up.
5. Reinstall the back half of the transmit-
ter case by snapping it back on.
After the battery is replaced, the trans-
mitter must be synchronized with the
keyless entry system’s control unit.
Press either the “ ” or “ ” button
six times to synchronize the unit.

Replacing lost transmittersIf you lose a transmitter or want to pur-
chase additional transmitters (up to four
can be programmed), you should re-pro-
gram all of your transmitters for security
reasons. It is recommended that you have
your dealer program all of your transmit-
ters into your system.
Programming the transmitters
The keyless entry system is equipped with
a special code learning feature that allows
you to program new transmitter codes into
the system or to delete old ones. The sys-
tem can learn up to four unique transmitter
codes. The four transmitter codes may be
the same or different.Programming transmitter codes into
system:
Bag containing transmitter
Transmitter circuit board
To register a new transmitter with the key-
less entry system, it is necessary to pro-
gram the transmitter’s code (identification
number) into the system. A label showing
the code is affixed to the bag containing
the transmitter, and another is affixed to
the circuit board inside the transmitter. If
there is no bag, open the transmitter case
and make a note of the eight-digit number.
Program the number into the system in
accordance with the following procedure:
1. Firmly close the doors and the rear lift-
gate.
2. Open the driver’s door, sit on the driv-
er’s seat, and close the door.
3. Perform the following steps within 45
seconds.
1) Open and close the driver’s door
once. Be careful not to damage the
printed circuit board in the trans-
mitter when replacing the battery.

number, push the unlock side of the lock
switch within five seconds. NOTEAn electronic tone will sound.
If you push the unlock side of the
lock switch when more than five sec-
onds have passed, an error will occur.
In this event, perform the procedure
again beginning with part 4. If an error
occurs six times, perform the proce-
dure again starting with part 3.
7. Perform parts 5 and 6 of the procedure
for each of the remaining digits of the
transmitter code beginning with the sec-
ond digit (counting from the left) and fin-
ishing with the eighth digit. NOTEWhen you finish entering the eighth
digit, an electronic tone will sound for
30 seconds.
If the interval between one push of
the switch and the next exceeds five
seconds, an error will occur. In this
event, perform the procedure again be-
ginning with part 4. If an error occurs
six times, perform the procedure again
starting with part 3.
8. Before the electronic tone stops sound-
ing, use the power door lock switch toagain enter the transmitter code beginning
with the leftmost digit.
NOTEIf you do not start entering the number
using the lock switch before the elec-
tronic tone stops sounding, an error
will occur. In this event, perform the
procedure again beginning with part 3.
9. When you have finished entering the
code a second time, an electronic tone will
sound for one second to indicate comple-
tion of registration, provided the code en-
tered the second time is identical to that
entered the first time.NOTEIf the code entered the second time is
not identical to the code entered the
first time, an error will occur. In this
event, perform the procedure again be-
ginning with part 5. If an error occurs
five times, perform the procedure
again starting with part 3.
10.If you wish to program another trans-
mitter code into the system (up to four
transmitter codes can be programmed
into the system), perform the procedure
beginning with part 4. When you have fin-
ished programming all of the necessary
transmitter codes into the system, remove
the key from the ignition switch.11.Test every registered transmitter to
confirm correct operation.
Deleting old transmitter codes
The control unit of the keyless entry sys-
tem has four memory locations to store
transmitter codes, giving it the ability to
operate with up to four transmitters. When
you lose a transmitter, the lost transmit-
ter’s code remains in the memory. For se-
curity reasons, lost transmitter codes
should be deleted from the memory.
To delete old transmitter codes, program
four transmitter codes into the system. If
you have only one current transmitter,
program it four times. If you have two cur-
rent transmitters, program each one twice.
If you have three current transmitters, pro-
gram two of them once and the third one
twice. This process will leave only current
transmitter codes in the system’s memory.
NOTEMake sure no one else is operating
their keyless entry system within range
of your vehicle when programming
transmitters. If someone else were to
operate their remote transmitter while
you are programming your transmit-
ters, it is possible that their transmitter
code will be programmed into your
system, allowing them unauthorized
access to your vehicle.
