Electronic starting interlock (immobilizer)

Each time the key is removed from the igni- tion, the electronic starting interlock is acti- vated and the car is thus immobilized, see also page 51.

Changing the key battery

When the battery voltage in the key falls below a predetermined level the Saab Infor- mation Display (SID) will issue the following message:

”Remote control battery low. Replace battery.”

Press the CLR button on the SID to acknowledge this message. You must then replace the battery without delay to avoid malfunctions. The life of the battery is nor- mally 4 years.Contact a Saab dealer to have the battery replaced.
