You then make a new selection using the

quick selection buttons or the A T buttons.

If a cassette

gramme type is transmitted.

Cassette or CD playback will then be inter

Mobile telephone and

communications radio

Mobile telephones and communications ra-

dios without

separate outside aerials radi-

ate an electromagnetic field in the cabin.

WARNING

The radiated field in the cabin can

dangerous to health

The radiated field can cause interfer-

ence in the car s electrical system

For this reason Saab recommends that you

always attach your telephone communica-

tions radio to an

external aerial

An

external aerial will also improve trans-

mitting and receiving conditions as well as

giving your equipment a longer range.

For traffic safety reasons always stop your

car in a suitable place when calling.

Mobile telephones and communications ra-

dios which are not part of Saab s standard

equipment can interfere with the car s elec-

tronics system and give spurious warnings.

WARNING

Always contact an authorized Saab

workshop for fitting instructions.

If you suspect an unclear fault warn-

ing/indication contact an authorized

Saab workshop for checks.

Seats

On some markets the electric heating of the

seat and backrest cushions of the front

seats is individually adjustable and can be

operated by means of the switch when the

ignition switch is

n

the drive position.

The front seats can be adjusted for leg

room, the rake angle of the backrests has

stepless adjustment and the head re

straints can be raised or lowered. Apart

from being adjustable for height, the driv

er s seat also has an adjustable lumbar

support.

The front of the driver s seat can be raised

and lowered (both front seats on certain

model variants).

When adjusting the driver s seat, the follow

ing procedure

s

recommended:

First adjust the seat height, then the leg

room and after that the backrest rake angle.

Finally, adjust the position of the steering

wheel.

Head restraint

The front-seat head restraints can be

raised or lowered to one of several preset

positions.

WARNING

Test the head restraint thoroughly to be

sure that it provides good support for th

head. This is to prevent the danger of

whiplash injuries

n

the event

o

a colli

sion.

o

adjust the he d restraint

For best protection, the head restraint

hould be level with the occupant s head.

To raise the head restraint: grip it on either

side and pull it straight up.

To lower the head restraint: press the top

straight down.

Legroom adjustment

Lift the bar and slide the seat to the

desired position. Release the bar

and check that the seat is locked

n

the new position.

Thigh support

Lift the lever to raise the

front of the cushion.

Height adjustment

Pull forward the telescopic lever

and raise or lower the lever until the

desired height is obtained.

Electrically heated driver s

and co-driver s seats

The car has adjustable electric heating of

both the driver s and the co-driver s seat

cushion and backrest.

The heat output can be adjusted individual

ly for each seat in three steps.

n

position 3,

the heat output is a maximum, whereas

in

position

O

the heating is switched off.

Seat heating controls

Steering wheel adjustment

Fore-and-aft adjustment of the steering

wheel is possible after the handle has been

turned to release the locking mechanism.

Move the steering wheel to the required po

sition and then lock it by turning the handle

back.

Seat belts

Seat belts should always be worn by all

persons in the car. Surveys show that it is

just as dangerous for rear-seat occupants

not to wear seat belts as it

is

for front-seat

occupants.

n the event of a collision, unrestrained

rear-seat passengers are thrown violently

forward against the front- seat backrests.

This doubles the force put on the front-seat

Locking handle for the steering wheel

~

occupants and seat belts, frequently result

ing

in

injury to all the occupants.

Each belt may only be worn by one person

at a time.

WARNING

Seat belts are designed to bear upon the

bony structure of the body, and should be

worn low across the front of the pelvis, or the

pelvis, chest and shoulders, as applicable:

wearing the lap section of the belt across the

abdominal area must be avoided.

Seat belts should be adjusted as firmly as

possible, consistent with comfort, to provide

the protection for which they have been

designed. A slack belt will greatly reduce the

protection afforded to the wearer.

Care should be taken to avoid contamina

tion of the webbing with polishes, oils and

chemicals, and particularly battery acid.

Cleaning may safely be carried out using

mild soap and water. The belt should be

replaced if webbing becomes frayed, con

taminated or damaged.

It is essential to replace the entire assembly

after it has been worn in a sever impact

even if amage to the assembly is not obvi

ous.

Belts should not be worn with straps twisted.

Each belt assembly must only be used by

one occupant; it is dangerous to put a belt

around a child being carried on the occu

pant s lap.

No modifications or additions should be

made by the used which either prevent the

seat belt adjusting devices from operating to

remove slack, or prevent the seat belt

assembly from being adjusted to remove

slack.

Lengthening the lap strap

or

rubbing against any sharp edges and

that there is no unnecessary slack in the

straps.

Do not recline the backrest by too great an

amount as the seat belt is designed to pro

vide protection when the seat is adjusted to

an ordinary seating position.

To release the buckle, press the red button

marked PRESS ..

Most of the time when the belt is being worn

the reel will not be locked, thus allowing

freedom of movement. However, the reel

will lock if the strap is jerked or withdrawn

sharply, if the car is tilted at a steep angle,

or if the car is braked hard or is involved in

a collision.

A seat belt warning light on the overhead

panel will show if either of the front seat oc

cupants has neglected to fasten his belt.

The belt for the middle rear-seat passenger

is of the lap-belt type and can be adjusted

manually. If required, lengthen the belt be

fore fastening it by holding the adjuster at

right angles to the strap and pulling the

strap out.

Tighten the belt by pulling the free end until

the belt fits snugly against the body.

To

re

lease the belt, press the red button on the

buckle.

Pregnant women

Expectant mothers should take care to fit

the belt such that it does not apply pressure

to the abdomen. The hip strap should be as

low as possible across the hips.

WARNING

Make sure that the belts do not become

trapped when the rear-seat cushion is

tipped forward or folded back.

Airbag (SRS)

Driver s seat

The car s SRS (Supplementary Restraint

System) consists of an airbag incorporated

in the steering wheel. On some variants, an

airbag is also fitted on the front passenger s

side.

The system is fitted as a complement to the

seat belts and provides additional safety in

the event of a collision. An SRS warning

lamp in the pictogram lights up or flashes if

a fault arises in the Supplementary Re

straint System, see page 8.

The driver s seat should always be ad. 1st-

ed so that the warning lamp is not obscured

by the steering wheel.

Airbag deployment in a frontal collision

Start

of

collision.

The sensor has

registered the

decrease in

speed nd sends

a signal to a gas

generator via

the control mod-

ule which in-

flates the airbag.

The airbag reach-

es the driver.

The airbag

is completely

inflated.

The steering col-

umn is crushed

nd the airbag

starts to empty.

When the system is activated at the instant

of a collision the airbag incorporated

in

the

steering wheel is inflated. The airbag will be

inflated

in

the event of a severe frontal col

lision but will not activated by a minor head

on rear-end r side collision r by the car

rolling

over.

WARNING

Even though the car is equipped with

a Supplementary Restraint System

seat belts must be worn by all the oc

cupants.

Note that since the airbag inflates and

deflates extremely rapidly

it

affords

no protection in the

event

of a second

collision occurring during the same

accident.

When driving you should adopt a po

sition with your entire back resting

against the seat backrest and not sit

hunched over the steering wheel.

Otherwise if the airbag is activated

you could be thrown forcibly against

the backrest and sustain injury.

Never attach any objects to the steer

ing wheel as they could injure your

face when the airbag is inflated. This

also applies to objects such as a

pipe in

the mouth when driving.

Interior equipment 7

The gas that fills the airbag when it is

set of

is

very

hot.

n

certain circum

stances the hot gas may cause burns

on the arms as the airbag empties.

If the warning lamp starts flashing

r

fails to go out when the car

is

being

driven the car should be taken imme

diately to an authorized Saab garage

for checking. If the SRS warning lamp

lights up or starts flashing it could

mean that the system would not be

activated

in

the event of a collision.

The system should be checked

in

accord

ance with the service programme.


48/132


Front passenger airbag

As optional equipment, the car can be

equipped with an airbag on the front-seat

passenger s side. The system is the same

as on the driver s side and it is connected to

and monitored by the same SRS warning

lamp. The airbag

is

located behind a cover

on the dashboard. n a collision, both sys

tems are activated even if the passenger

seat

is

not occupied.

Disconnection of the airbag on the

passenger s side.

Should you want to have the passenger air-

bag disconnected, always take the car to

an authorized Saab garage.

WARNING

Child seats should always be fitted to

the rear seat. Otherwise the child

could be injured by the airbag

in

a col

lision.

Children younger than age 13

r

shorter than 140 cm should occupy

the back seat.

Children should not stand in

front of

the front passenger seat as they

could be seriously injured by the air

bag

in

a collision.

Do not place any objects on the dash

r in front of the seat as they could in- ,

jure the car occupants

in

a collision or

interfere with the operation of the air

bag. Also make sure that no accesso

ries are mounted on the instrument

panel.

WARNING

No modifications affecting the steering

wheel r the electrical system should

be made to cars fitted with a Supple

mentary Restraint System. Both battery

cables and the SRS electronic unit

must be disconnected before any weld

ing work is commenced. Following this,

wait at least 20 minutes before starting

on the actual work. The electronic unit

must be removed from the car before

quick-drying after painting.

Airbags and seat-belt pretensioners

must be activated before the car is

scrapped r when system components

are removed for scrapping. Airbags and

seat- belt pretensioners that have been

activated

in

a collision must be re

placed.

Work involving the replacement or

scrapping of airbags or seat-belt pre

tensioners must be carried out by an

authorized Saab garage.

Check the system as laid out

in

the Service

Programme.

Child safety

The safety of children

in

the car is just as

important as that of adults.

For maximum safety when travelling

in

the

car, children should be restrained in some

way. The form of restraint used must be

adapted to the size of the child. Before fit

ting any kind of safety seat, harness, boost

er cushion, etc., you should first consult

your Saab dealer. For market Australia, see

also page 129.

Make sure you are familiar with the law

and other regulations dealing with the

fitting of child seats and how children

should be seated in the car

Your Saab dealer stocks child safety seats

that are approved by Saab Automobile AB.

If a child safety seat from a different manu

facturer is

used, make certain that it can be

fitted correctly

in

accordance with the man

ufacturer s instructions.

For child safety seats requiring underneath

anchorage straps there are four securing

lugs under the front passenger seat to pro

vide the best possible means of mounting.

WARNING

Children should always be restrained

in some way when travelling

in

the

car.

In

cars equipped with an airbag on the

front passenger s side, no child seat

of any type should be fitted to the pas

senger seat. In the event o a collision

the child could be injured by the air

bag. For this reason, the passenger

seat has no mounting lugs or colour

markings for a child seat.

Child seats fitted to the front passen

ger seat

in

cars not equipped with

an airbag on the passenger s side

must not be secured to the legroom

adjustment control.

In

an accident, the seat may

mov

and have a detrimental effect on the

anchorage of the child restraint.

For a child safety seat which is approved

for rearward-facing installation on the rear

seat, the place recommended for it is

in

the

centre seating position. In such case, the

child seat should be secured using the two

rear mounting lugs under the driver s and

front-seat passenger s seats.

Mounting lugs for a child seat with under-

neath anchorage straps.

NOTE Mounting lugs t

the front are

not
