2007 SAAB 9-5 ignition

86 Instruments and controlsCalibrationCalibration is carried out automatically after
a certain number of starts if the ignition has
been switched off for more than 2 hours.
If the battery has been disconnected or has
run flat, the system will need to be recali-
brated.
Calibration is started manually as follows:
1 Start the engine.
2 Press and at the same
time.
When manual calibration starts,
” ACC:CALIBR.
STARTED”
appears in SID.
Calibration takes approx. 30 seconds.Useful tips(before taking the car to a workshop. We
recommend that you contact an authorized
Saab workshop.)
If the battery has been disconnected or
has run flat, the system will need to be
recalibrated. See "Calibration" above.
If front seat heating and/or rear window
heating do not function satisfactorily, see
"Adaptation of ACC" on page 85.
Condensation waterWhen the A/C system is running, the intake
air is dehumidified, and the resultant con-
densation is drained off through two outlets
underneath the floor of the car, in the vicinity
of the front doors.
It is therefore perfectly normal for water to
be seen dripping from these outlets when
the car is parked. The warmer the ambient
air and the higher the humidity, the more
condensation water will form.Formation of ice and mist in
extreme weather conditionsIt is only in the most extreme conditions that
icing and misting of window glass are likely
to be a problem, e.g. in torrential rain or
severe cold coupled with high relative
humidity, or when passengers are perspir-
ing heavily or wearing wet clothes.
The following measures are recommended
if such problems should occur:
1 Select AUTO and 21 °C for both temper-
ature zones.
2 Select Defroster.
If this is not enough...
3 Increase the fan speed.
If this is not enough...
4 Select a higher temperature.
The following measures are recommended
if the occupants feel that it is cold and
draughty in the car:1 Make sure that all the air vents are fully
open, including the center rear vent. If
this is not enough...
2 Direct the air flow away from the body. If
this is not enough...
3 Raise the temperature setting a degree
or two. If this is not enough...
4 Lower the fan speed.
Troubleshooting and care, see page 243.

Electric windowsThe electric motors of the front windows are
equipped with overload protection (inte-
grated thermal protection). This protection
operates when the windows are wound
down automatically (switch pressed fully
down).To open:
Front windows: press the front of the switch
Rear windows: Press the back of the switch.
The switches for the front windows have a
third position for automatic opening of the
window. Press the switch fully down to lower
the window completely.
To cancel automatic lowering of the win-
dow, lift the switch briefly.To close:
Front windows: Lift the front of the switch.
Rear windows: Lift the back of the switch.
The actuating motor will be switched off
automatically when the window is fully
closed or when the switch is released.
WARNING
Bear in mind the pinch hazard when the
side windows are being wound up.
Always remove the ignition key when
you leave the car. This prevents per-
sonal injury caused by the electric win-
dows, for example, due to children
playing.
The person operating the electric win-
dows is responsible for ensuring that
no one, especially children, has their
head, hands or fingers in the window
openings, before raising the windows.
Raising the windows could otherwise
cause serious or fatal injuries.
Do not extend your arm, head etc. out
of an open window while driving.

Preparations for first-time programming
Before programming the garage opener for
the first time, you must delete any factory
codes.
Press and hold the two outer buttons until
the indicator light begins to flash-after
20 seconds. Release both buttons. Do not
hold for longer that 30 seconds. The garage
opener is now in the train (or learning) mode
and can be programmed at any time begin-
ning with "Programming" - step 2.
Programming
The garage opener can record and store the
frequencies of three different remote con-
trols.
The battery in the remote control should be
fairly new for programming to work well.
Do not repeat "Programming" - step two
to train additional devices to a second or
third button. Begin with "Programming" -
step three.
1 Turn the ignition ON.
2 Press and hold the two outer buttons
(buttons one and three) - releasing only
when the indicator light begins to flash
(after 20 seconds). Do not hold the but-
tons for longer than 30 seconds and do
not repeat step two to program a
second and/or third hand-held transmit-
ter to the remaining two buttons.
3 Position the end of your hand-held trans-
mitter 1-3 inches (5-14 cm) away from
the button you wish to program while
keeping the indicator light in view. The transmitter should face the mirror from
below or left side of the mirror.
4 Simultaneously press and hold both the
chosen and hand-held transmitter but-
tons. Do not release the buttons until
step 5 has been completed.
Note: Some gate operators and garage
door openers may require you to replace
this Programming Step 4 with procedures
noted in the "Gate Operator / Canadian Pro-
gramming" section.
5 After the indicator light changes from a
slow to a rapidly blinking light, release
both the mirror and hand-held transmit-
ter buttons.
6 Press and hold the just-trained button
and observe the indicator light.
If the indicator light stays on con-
stantly, programming is complete
and your device should activate when
the button is pressed and released.
Note: To program the remaining two but-
tons, begin with "Programming" - step
three. Do not repeat step two.
If the indicator light blinks rapidly for two
seconds and then turns to a constant
light continue with "Programming"
steps 7-9 to complete the programming of
a rolling code equipped device (most com-
monly a garage door opener).
7 At the garage door opener receiver
(motor-head unit) in the garage, locate
the "learn" or "smart" button. This can
usually
be found where the hanging antenna wire is attached to the
motor-head unit.
8 Firmly press and release the "learn" or
"smart" button. (The name and color of
the button may vary by manufacturer.)
Note: There are 30 seconds in which to ini-
tiate step nine.
9 Return to the vehicle and firmly press,
hold for two seconds and release the
programmed button. Repeat the
"press/hold/release" sequence a
second time, and, depending on the
brand of the garage door opener (or
other rolling code equipped device),
repeat this sequence a third time to com-
plete the programming process.
The garage opener should now activate
your rolling code equipped device.
Note: To program the remaining two but-
tons, begin with "Programming" -
step
three
. Do not repeat step two.

the overhead panel above the rearview mir-
ror. The moonroof can be opened partially
or fully.

If the car is newly waxed, the moonroof may
creak when opened to the ventilation posi-
tion or when driving with the moonroof

where the front edge of the moonroof meets the metal roof. Open the moonroof fully and,
using washer fluid, clean the seal on the
leading edge of the moonroof and the
painted surface against which this seals
when the moonroof is closed.
WARNING
Bear in mind the pinch hazard when clos-
ing the moonroof.
Always remove the ignition key when
you leave the car. This prevents per-
sonal injury caused by the electric
moonroof, for example, due to chil-
dren playing.
The person operating the electric
moonroof is responsible for ensuring
that no one, especially children, has
their head, hands or fingers in the
opening, before closing the moonroof.
