Drugs and drivingIf you are taking any drugs, check with
your doctor or pharmacist or read the liter-
ature that accompanies the medication to
determine if the drug you are taking can
impair your driving ability. Do not drive af-
ter taking any medications that can make
you drowsy or otherwise affect your ability
to safely operate a motor vehicle. If you
have a medical condition that requires you
to take drugs, please consult with your
doctor.
Never drive if you are under the influence
of any illicit mind-altering drugs. For your
own health and well-being, we urge you
not to take illegal drugs in the first place
and to seek treatment if you are addicted
to those drugs.

Driving when tired or sleepyPlease do not continue to drive but in-
stead find a safe place to rest if you are
tired or sleepy. On long trips, you should
make periodic rest stops to refresh your-
self before continuing on your journey.
When possible, you should share the driv-
ing with others.

Modification of your vehicle
Car phone/cell phone and
driving
Driving with petsUnrestrained pets can interfere with your
driving and distract your attention from There are some drugs (over the
counter and prescription) that can
delay your reaction time and impair
your perception, judgment and at-
tentiveness. If you drive after taking
them, it may increase your, your
passengers’ and other persons’ risk
of being involved in a serious or fa-
tal accident.
When you are tired or sleepy, your
reaction will be delayed and your
perception, judgment and attentive-
ness will be impaired. If you drive
when tired or sleepy, your, your pas-
sengers’ and other persons’ chanc-
es of being involved in a serious ac-
cident may increase.
Your vehicle should not be modi-
fied. Modification could affect its
performance, safety or durability,
and may even violate governmental
regulations. In addition, damage or
performance problems resulting
from modification may not be cov-
ered under warranties.
Do not use a car phone/cell phone
while driving; it may distract your at-
tention from driving and can lead to
an accident. If you use a car phone/
cell phone, pull off the road and park
in the safe place before using your
phone. In some States/Provinces,
only hands-free phones may legally
be used while driving.

might not necessarily require deployment
of driver’s/driver’s and front passenger’s
SRS frontal airbag(s). If the vehicle strikes
an object, such as a telephone pole or
sign pole, or if it slides under a truck’s load
bed, or if it sustains an oblique offset fron-
tal impact, the driver’s/driver’s and front
passenger’s SRS frontal airbag(s) may
not deploy depending on the level of acci-
dent forces involved.Examples of the types of accidents
in which the driver’s/driver’s and
front passenger’s SRS frontal air-
bag(s) will basically not deploy.
The driver’s and front passenger’s SRS
frontal airbags are designed basically notto deploy if the vehicle is struck from the
side or from behind, or if it rolls onto its
side or roof, or if it is involved in a low-
speed frontal collision.
1) First impact
2) Second impactIn an accident where the vehicle is impact-
ed more than once, the driver’s and/or
front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag(s)
will deploy only once on the first impact.
Example: In the case of a double collision,
first with another vehicle, then against a
concrete wall in immediate succession,
once either or both of the driver’s and front
passenger’s SRS frontal airbags is/are ac-
tivated on the first impact, it/they will not
be activated on the second impact.

1) The vehicle is involved in an oblique
side-on impact.
2) The vehicle is involved in a side-on
impact in an area outside the vicinity
of the passenger compartment.
3) The vehicle strikes a telephone pole
or similar object.
4) The vehicle is involved in a side-on
impact from a motorcycle.
5) The vehicle rolls onto its side or roof.
There are many types of collisions which
might not necessarily require SRS side
airbag deployment. In the event of acci-
dents like those illustrated, the SRS side
airbag may not deploy depending on the
level of accident forces involved.

Push the “FM/AM” button (4) when the ra-
dio is off to turn on the radio.
Push the “FM/AM” button when the radio
is on to select FM1, FM2 or AM reception.
Each time this button is pressed, the band
will change in the following order:
The display indicates which one is cur-
rently selected.

Stereo indicator
The stereo indicator “ST” will come on
when an FM stereo broadcast is received.

Manual tuning (TUNE)
Push the “
” side of the tuning button
(3) to increase the tuning frequency and
press the “” side of the button to de-
crease it.
Each time the button is pressed, the fre-
quency changes 10 KHz in the AM wave-
band and 0.2 MHz in the FM waveband.
Constant pressure on the button causes a
continuous change in the frequency.

Automatic tuning (SCAN)
Press the “SCAN” button (1) to change the
radio to the SCAN mode. In this mode, theradio scans through the radio band until a
station is found. The radio will stop at the
station for five seconds while displaying
the frequency, after which scanning will
continue until the entire band has been
scanned from the low end to the high end.
Press the “SCAN” button again to cancel
the SCAN mode and to stop on any dis-
played frequency.
When the “SCAN” button is pressed for
automatic tuning, stations are scanned in
the direction of low frequencies to high fre-
quencies only.
Automatic tuning may not function proper-
ly if the station reception is weakened by
distance from the station or proximity to
tall buildings and hills.

Selecting preset stations
Presetting a station with a “Preset” button
(5) allows you to select that station in a
single operation. Up to six AM, FM1 and
FM2 stations each may be preset.

How to preset stations
1. Press the “FM/AM” selection button to
select AM, FM1 or FM2 reception.
2. Press the “SCAN” button (1) or tune
the radio manually until the desired station
frequency is displayed.
3. Press one of the “Preset” buttons (5)
for at least 2 seconds to store the fre-
quency. The frequency of the station willflash once on the display at this time. If the
button is pressed for less than 2 seconds,
the preceding selection will remain in
memory.
NOTE
If the connection between the radio
and battery is broken for any reason
such as vehicle maintenance or radio
removal, all stations stored in the pre-
set buttons are cleared. If this occurs,
it is necessary to reset the preset but-
tons.

If a cell phone is placed near the ra-
dio, it may cause the radio to emit
noise when it receives calls. This noise
does not indicate a radio fault.

Interior equipment

Use with a cigarette lighterThe cigarette lighter operates only when
the ignition switch is in the “ON” and
“ACC” positions.
To use the cigarette lighter, push in the
knob and wait a few moments. It will auto-
matically spring up when ready for use.

Using as an accessory power
outletElectrical power (12V DC) from the battery
is available at the socket when the ignition
switch is either in the “ACC” or “ON” posi-
tion.
If you use the socket as an accessory
power outlet, take the following precau-
tions.
When the socket is not in use, always put
the cap on the socket to prevent any for-
eign object from entering it.

The electrical power outlet locat-
ed on the lower part of the instru-
ment panel is originally designed
to use a genuine Saab cigarette
lighter plug. Do not use non-genu-
ine cigarette lighter plugs in the
socket. Doing so may cause a
short-circuit and overheating, re-
sulting in a fire.

If the socket is ever used for a
plug-in accessory such as a cell
phone, that may damage the por-
tion of the socket’s internal mech-
anism that causes a cigarette
lighter plug to “pop out” after its
lighter element is heated. There-
fore, do not place a cigarette light-
er plug in a socket that has been
used, even once, to power a plug-
in accessory. Doing so may cause
the plug to stick and overheat,
creating a potential fire hazard.

Do not place any foreign objects,
especially metal ones such as
coins or aluminum foil, into the
socket. That could cause a short
circuit.
To avoid being burned, never grasp
the lighter by the end with the heat-
ing element. Doing so could result
in injury and could also damage the
heating element.
600526
Do not hold the lighter pushed in,
because it will overheat.

Use only in-car use electrical ap-
pliances which are designed for
12V DC and which consume less
than 120W. Overloading the sock-
et can cause a short circuit. Do
not use double adapters or more
than one electrical appliance.
