Alarm system
The alarm system helps to protect your
vehicle and valuables from theft. The horn
sounds and the turn signal lights flash if
someone attempts to break into your vehi-
cle. The starter motor is also interrupted to
prevent starting the vehicle without a key.
The system can be armed and disarmed
with the remote transmitter.
The system does not operate when the
key is inserted into the ignition switch.
Your vehicle’s alarm system has been set
for activation at the time of shipment from
the factory. You can set the system for de-
activation yourself or have it done by your
Saab dealer.
¢ System operation
The alarm system will give the following
alarm when triggered:
— The vehicle’s horn will sound and the
turn signal lights will flash for 30 seconds.
In addition, the starter motor will not oper-
ate.
— If any door or the rear liftgate remains
open after the 30-second period, the horn
will continue to sound for a maximum of 3
minutes. If the door and the rear liftgate
are closed while the horn is sounding, the
horn will stop sounding with a delay of up
to 30 seconds.
The alarm is triggered by:
— Opening a door or the rear liftgate.

position.
