Car alarm

WARNING

Leaving children or pets unattended in a locked car is dangerous. It is also danger- ous to leave children in a vehicle with the ignition key. A child or others could be badly injured or even killed.

The car alarm (anti-theft system) is acti- vated/deactivated when the car is locked/unlocked by the remote control or by the key, see page 45.

The antenna for the alarm system is located in the center console.

All the doors plus trunk lid/tailgate and hood are monitored by microswitches.

Unlocking the tailgate (9-5 SportCombi)

Your Saab 9-5 is equipped with an Elec- tronic starting interlock (immobilizer), see page 51 for details.

The car alarm is armed 10 seconds after the car has been locked by the remote control. During this ten-second delay period, the doors, trunk lid/tailgate and hood may still be opened without the alarm being trig- gered.

The LED indicator on the instrument panel fascia will be on continuously during this period, at the end of which it will start to flash (once every other second).

If a door or the trunk lid/tailgate or hood has been left open when the car is locked, the LED on the fascia will flash (three times per second) for ten seconds to indicate this.
