The valet key fits only the ignition switch
and door lock. You can keep the trunk and
glove box locked when you leave your ve-
hicle and valet key at a parking facility.

Key numberThe key number is stamped on the key
number plate attached to the key set.
Write down the key number and keep it in
another safe place, not in the vehicle. This
number is needed to make a replacement
key if you lose your key or lock it inside the

Do not attach a large key holder or
key case to either key. If it bangs
against your knees while you are
driving, it could turn the ignition
switch from the ON position to the
ACC or OFF position, thereby stop-
ping the engine.

The 30-second standby time can be
eliminated if you prefer. Have it per-
formed by your Saab dealer.

The system is in the standby mode
for a 30-second period after locking the
doors with the remote transmitter. The
security indicator light will flash at
short intervals during this period.

If any of the following actions is done
during the standby period, the system
will not switch to the surveillance state.

Doors are unlocked using the re-
mote transmitter.

Any door or the rear liftgate is
opened.

Ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position.

The engine does not start even when
the ignition switch is turned to the
“START” position once the alarm sys-
tem has been triggered.
Disarming the systemBriefly press the “ ” button (for less
than two seconds) on the remote transmit-
ter. The driver’s door will unlock, an elec-
tronic chirp will sound twice, the turn sig-
nal lights will flash twice and the indicator
light will go off.
NOTE (Models with immobiliz-
er)If your vehicle is equipped with an im-
mobilizer, the immobilizer’s function
will cause the security indicator light to
flash (approximately once every three
seconds) even after the system is dis-
armed.NOTEThe system can be disarmed by the fol-
lowing method.

Cycle the ignition switch from the
“LOCK” to the “ON” position three
times within 5 seconds.

Emergency disarming
If you cannot disarm the system using the
transmitter (i.e. the transmitter is lost, bro-
ken or the transmitter battery is too weak),
you can disarm the system without using
the transmitter.
1. Unlock the door with the key and then
open the door.
2. Insert the key into the ignition switch
and cycle it from the “LOCK” to the “ON”
position three times within 5 seconds.
Valet modeWhen you choose the valet mode, the se-
curity system does not operate. In valet
mode, the remote transmitter is used onlyfor locking and unlocking the doors and
rear liftgate and panic activation.
To enter the valet mode, change the set-
ting of your vehicle’s alarm system for de-
activation mode. (Refer to “Activating and
deactivating the alarm system” in this sec-
tion.) The security indicator light will con-
tinue to flash once every three seconds in-
dicating that the system is in the valet
mode (only vehicle with an immobilizer).
To exit valet mode, change the setting of
your vehicle’s alarm system for activation
mode. (Refer to “Activating and deactivat-
ing the alarm system” in this section.)
NOTEIf your vehicle is not equipped with an
immobilizer, the security indicator light
does not flash during the valet mode.
Passive armingWhen passive arming mode has been
programmed by the dealer, arming of the
system is automatically accomplished
without using the remote transmitter. Note
that in this mode, DOORS MUST BE
MANUALLY LOCKED.

To enter the passive mode
If you wish to program the passive arming
mode, have it done by your Saab dealer.
