Mobile telephone and
communications radio
Mobile telephones and communications ra-
dios without
separate outside aerials radi-
ate an electromagnetic field in the cabin.
WARNING
The radiated field in the cabin can
dangerous to health
The radiated field can cause interfer-
ence in the car s electrical system
For this reason Saab recommends that you
always attach your telephone communica-
tions radio to an
external aerial
An
external aerial will also improve trans-
mitting and receiving conditions as well as
giving your equipment a longer range.
For traffic safety reasons always stop your
car in a suitable place when calling.
Mobile telephones and communications ra-
dios which are not part of Saab s standard
equipment can interfere with the car s elec-
tronics system and give spurious warnings.
WARNING
Always contact an authorized Saab
workshop for fitting instructions.
If you suspect an unclear fault warn-
ing/indication contact an authorized
Saab workshop for checks.

4 Interior equipment
Seats
On some markets the electric heating of the
seat and backrest cushions of the front
seats is individually adjustable and can be
operated by means of the switch when the
ignition switch is
n
the drive position.
The front seats can be adjusted for leg
room, the rake angle of the backrests has
stepless adjustment and the head re
straints can be raised or lowered. Apart
from being adjustable for height, the driv
er s seat also has an adjustable lumbar
support.
The front of the driver s seat can be raised
and lowered (both front seats on certain
model variants).
When adjusting the driver s seat, the follow
ing procedure
s
recommended:
First adjust the seat height, then the leg
room and after that the backrest rake angle.
Finally, adjust the position of the steering
wheel.
Head restraint
The front-seat head restraints can be
raised or lowered to one of several preset
positions.
WARNING
Test the head restraint thoroughly to be
sure that it provides good support for th
head. This is to prevent the danger of
whiplash injuries
n
the event
o
a colli
sion.
o
adjust the he d restraint
For best protection, the head restraint
hould be level with the occupant s head.
To raise the head restraint: grip it on either
side and pull it straight up.
To lower the head restraint: press the top
straight down.
Legroom adjustment
Lift the bar and slide the seat to the
desired position. Release the bar
and check that the seat is locked
n
the new position.
Thigh support
Lift the lever to raise the
front of the cushion.
Height adjustment
Pull forward the telescopic lever
and raise or lower the lever until the
desired height is obtained.
Lumbar support
adjustment
1 Harder
2 Softer
Backrest rake angle

44 Interior equipment
Electrically heated driver s
and co-driver s seats
The car has adjustable electric heating of
both the driver s and the co-driver s seat
cushion and backrest.
The heat output can be adjusted individual
ly for each seat in three steps.
n
position 3,
the heat output is a maximum, whereas
in
position
O
the heating is switched off.
Seat heating controls
Steering wheel adjustment
Fore-and-aft adjustment of the steering
wheel is possible after the handle has been
turned to release the locking mechanism.
Move the steering wheel to the required po
sition and then lock it by turning the handle
back.
Seat belts
Seat belts should always be worn by all
persons in the car. Surveys show that it is
just as dangerous for rear-seat occupants
not to wear seat belts as it
is
for front-seat
occupants.
n the event of a collision, unrestrained
rear-seat passengers are thrown violently
forward against the front- seat backrests.
This doubles the force put on the front-seat
Locking handle for the steering wheel
~
occupants and seat belts, frequently result
ing
in
injury to all the occupants.
Each belt may only be worn by one person
at a time.
WARNING
Seat belts are designed to bear upon the
bony structure of the body, and should be
worn low across the front of the pelvis, or the
pelvis, chest and shoulders, as applicable:
wearing the lap section of the belt across the
abdominal area must be avoided.
Seat belts should be adjusted as firmly as
possible, consistent with comfort, to provide
the protection for which they have been
designed. A slack belt will greatly reduce the
protection afforded to the wearer.
Care should be taken to avoid contamina
tion of the webbing with polishes, oils and
chemicals, and particularly battery acid.
Cleaning may safely be carried out using
mild soap and water. The belt should be
replaced if webbing becomes frayed, con
taminated or damaged.
It is essential to replace the entire assembly
after it has been worn in a sever impact
even if amage to the assembly is not obvi
ous.
Belts should not be worn with straps twisted.
Each belt assembly must only be used by
one occupant; it is dangerous to put a belt
around a child being carried on the occu
pant s lap.
No modifications or additions should be
made by the used which either prevent the
seat belt adjusting devices from operating to
remove slack, or prevent the seat belt
assembly from being adjusted to remove
slack.

Lengthening the lap strap
or
rubbing against any sharp edges and
that there is no unnecessary slack in the
straps.
Do not recline the backrest by too great an
amount as the seat belt is designed to pro
vide protection when the seat is adjusted to
an ordinary seating position.
To release the buckle, press the red button
marked PRESS ..
Most of the time when the belt is being worn
the reel will not be locked, thus allowing
freedom of movement. However, the reel
will lock if the strap is jerked or withdrawn
sharply, if the car is tilted at a steep angle,
or if the car is braked hard or is involved in
a collision.
A seat belt warning light on the overhead
panel will show if either of the front seat oc
cupants has neglected to fasten his belt.
The belt for the middle rear-seat passenger
is of the lap-belt type and can be adjusted
manually. If required, lengthen the belt be
fore fastening it by holding the adjuster at
right angles to the strap and pulling the
strap out.
Tighten the belt by pulling the free end until
the belt fits snugly against the body.
To
re
lease the belt, press the red button on the
buckle.
Pregnant women
Expectant mothers should take care to fit
the belt such that it does not apply pressure
to the abdomen. The hip strap should be as
low as possible across the hips.
WARNING
Make sure that the belts do not become
trapped when the rear-seat cushion is
tipped forward or folded back.
Airbag (SRS)
Driver s seat
The car s SRS (Supplementary Restraint
System) consists of an airbag incorporated
in the steering wheel. On some variants, an
airbag is also fitted on the front passenger s
side.
The system is fitted as a complement to the
seat belts and provides additional safety in
the event of a collision. An SRS warning
lamp in the pictogram lights up or flashes if
a fault arises in the Supplementary Re
straint System, see page 8.
The driver s seat should always be ad. 1st-
ed so that the warning lamp is not obscured
by the steering wheel.

Airbag deployment in a frontal collision
Start
of
collision.
The sensor has
registered the
decrease in
speed nd sends
a signal to a gas
generator via
the control mod-
ule which in-
flates the airbag.
The airbag reach-
es the driver.
The airbag
is completely
inflated.
The steering col-
umn is crushed
nd the airbag
starts to empty.
When the system is activated at the instant
of a collision the airbag incorporated
in
the
steering wheel is inflated. The airbag will be
inflated
in
the event of a severe frontal col
lision but will not activated by a minor head
on rear-end r side collision r by the car
rolling
over.
WARNING
Even though the car is equipped with
a Supplementary Restraint System
seat belts must be worn by all the oc
cupants.
Note that since the airbag inflates and
deflates extremely rapidly
it
affords
no protection in the
event
of a second
collision occurring during the same
accident.
When driving you should adopt a po
sition with your entire back resting
against the seat backrest and not sit
hunched over the steering wheel.
Otherwise if the airbag is activated
you could be thrown forcibly against
the backrest and sustain injury.
Never attach any objects to the steer
ing wheel as they could injure your
face when the airbag is inflated. This
also applies to objects such as a
pipe in
the mouth when driving.
Interior equipment 7
The gas that fills the airbag when it is
set of
is
very
hot.
n
certain circum
stances the hot gas may cause burns
on the arms as the airbag empties.
If the warning lamp starts flashing
r
fails to go out when the car
is
being
driven the car should be taken imme
diately to an authorized Saab garage
for checking. If the SRS warning lamp
lights up or starts flashing it could
mean that the system would not be
activated
in
the event of a collision.
The system should be checked
in
accord
ance with the service programme.

Front passenger airbag
As optional equipment, the car can be
equipped with an airbag on the front-seat
passenger s side. The system is the same
as on the driver s side and it is connected to
and monitored by the same SRS warning
lamp. The airbag
is
located behind a cover
on the dashboard. n a collision, both sys
tems are activated even if the passenger
seat
is
not occupied.
Disconnection of the airbag on the
passenger s side.
Should you want to have the passenger air-
bag disconnected, always take the car to
an authorized Saab garage.
WARNING
Child seats should always be fitted to
the rear seat. Otherwise the child
could be injured by the airbag
in
a col
lision.
Children younger than age 13
r
shorter than 140 cm should occupy
the back seat.
Children should not stand in
front of
the front passenger seat as they
could be seriously injured by the air
bag
in
a collision.
Do not place any objects on the dash
r in front of the seat as they could in- ,
jure the car occupants
in
a collision or
interfere with the operation of the air
bag. Also make sure that no accesso
ries are mounted on the instrument
panel.
WARNING
No modifications affecting the steering
wheel r the electrical system should
be made to cars fitted with a Supple
mentary Restraint System. Both battery
cables and the SRS electronic unit
must be disconnected before any weld
ing work is commenced. Following this,
wait at least 20 minutes before starting
on the actual work. The electronic unit
must be removed from the car before
quick-drying after painting.
Airbags and seat-belt pretensioners
must be activated before the car is
scrapped r when system components
are removed for scrapping. Airbags and
seat- belt pretensioners that have been
activated
in
a collision must be re
placed.
Work involving the replacement or
scrapping of airbags or seat-belt pre
tensioners must be carried out by an
authorized Saab garage.
Check the system as laid out
in
the Service
Programme.

Child safety
The safety of children
in
the car is just as
important as that of adults.
For maximum safety when travelling
in
the
car, children should be restrained in some
way. The form of restraint used must be
adapted to the size of the child. Before fit
ting any kind of safety seat, harness, boost
er cushion, etc., you should first consult
your Saab dealer. For market Australia, see
also page 129.
Make sure you are familiar with the law
and other regulations dealing with the
fitting of child seats and how children
should be seated in the car
Your Saab dealer stocks child safety seats
that are approved by Saab Automobile AB.
If a child safety seat from a different manu
facturer is
used, make certain that it can be
fitted correctly
in
accordance with the man
ufacturer s instructions.
For child safety seats requiring underneath
anchorage straps there are four securing
lugs under the front passenger seat to pro
vide the best possible means of mounting.
WARNING
Children should always be restrained
in some way when travelling
in
the
car.
In
cars equipped with an airbag on the
front passenger s side, no child seat
of any type should be fitted to the pas
senger seat. In the event o a collision
the child could be injured by the air
bag. For this reason, the passenger
seat has no mounting lugs or colour
markings for a child seat.
Child seats fitted to the front passen
ger seat
in
cars not equipped with
an airbag on the passenger s side
must not be secured to the legroom
adjustment control.
In
an accident, the seat may
mov
and have a detrimental effect on the
anchorage of the child restraint.
For a child safety seat which is approved
for rearward-facing installation on the rear
seat, the place recommended for it is
in
the
centre seating position. In such case, the
child seat should be secured using the two
rear mounting lugs under the driver s and
front-seat passenger s seats.
Mounting lugs for a child seat with under-
neath anchorage straps.
NOTE Mounting lugs t
the front are
not
