Window-glass The sensor detects if any window is broken and
sensor triggers the alarm.
To disable the sensor, see page 42.
Key The range of the key is normally 5-10 yds.
(5-10 metres), although it can be substantially
more than this in ideal conditions.
If the key is not working, it may be because the
code signal has not been synchronized with that
in the control module for the car alarm. To rectify
this, press the unlock button on the key at least
four times in quick succession. When it is recog-
nized, the door locks will cycle.
If a key is lost, the new one will have to be pro-
grammed (all keys must be present) to match the
car's unique security code. Get in touch with an
authorized Saab dealer.
Battery for key The battery for the key will normally have a life of
4 years. When the battery needs changing,
"REPLACE KEY BATTERY" will appear on the
SID.
After fitting a new battery, press the unlock but-
ton on the key at least four times (when the car
is in its range) in succession, so that the car
alarm can recognize the signals from the trans-
mitter.
Car-battery If the battery is disconnected while the alarm is
voltage active (car is locked), for example during an
attempt to steal the car, the alarm will be trig-
gered.
Alarm signals may differ between model variants for different coun-
tries.
Some of the car-alarm functions can be reprogrammed – con-
sult your Saab dealer for further details (see page 255).
