Operating The Soft Top - Saab 2004 9-3 Owner's Manual

Operating the soft top

WARNING
• Do not touch the hinges or struts of the
soft top during opening due to the
pinch hazard.
• Keep children out of reach.
• Do not operate the soft top while there
are bystanders close to the car.
• Make sure that the soft top cover has
locked properly after folding the soft
top.
• Check that the soft top engages prop-
erly with the upper edge of the wind-
shield after raising.
NOTICE
If you drive off while raising or folding the
soft top, operation is halted when
the speed of the car exceeds 20 mph
(30 km/h). This speed can be pro-
grammed (0–25 mph/0–40 km/h) at a
Saab dealer. The movement of the car
and force of the wind can seriously
damage the components of the soft top
system.
Read the "Advice on soft top operation"
section on page 54 before operating the soft
top.
The soft top is operated with the switch on
the instrument panel. Hold the switch in the
desired position until the soft top is fully
folded or raised.
The completion of folding or raising the soft
top is indicated by a chime.
Error messages that can appear on the SID
are shown on page 63.
