86 Instruments and controls

Calibration

Calibration 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:

1Start the engine.

2Press 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 water

When 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 conditions

It 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:

1Select AUTO and 21 °C for both temper- ature zones.

2Select Defroster.

If this is not enough...

3Increase the fan speed. If this is not enough...

4Select a higher temperature.

The following measures are recommended if the occupants feel that it is cold and draughty in the car:

1Make sure that all the air vents are fully open, including the center rear vent. If this is not enough...

2Direct the air flow away from the body. If this is not enough...

3Raise the temperature setting a degree or two. If this is not enough...

4Lower the fan speed.

Troubleshooting and care, see page 243.
