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 is armed when the car is
locked with the remote control.
The car alarm will not be armed if you
lock the car with the traditional key (see
page 40).
All the doors, the hood and the trunk lid are
monitored by the alarm. A movement
sensor triggers the alarm if movement is
detected in the cabin, such as if someone
sticks in their arm through a smashed
window.
All the windows should be shut when the
alarm is armed. Otherwise, the movement
sensor may interpret a passer-by as an
attempted break-in.
The alarm is armed 11 seconds after the car
has been locked by remote control.
During the delay period, the LED shines
constantly. It will then start to flash once
every 3 seconds. The LED is located on the
fascia.
If a door or the trunk lid is open when the car
is locked with the remote control, the LED
will flash 3 times per second for
11 seconds. Check that the doors, hood
and trunk lid are closed.
If the signal persists, contact a Saab dealer
to have the problem checked and rectified.
If you unlock the trunk lid from outside the
car with the button on the remote con-
trol, you must lock the car with the
button to arm the car alarm.
