89 Instruments and controls
Useful tips:
If the ACC system is not functioning
satisfactorily the following should be tried
before you take the car to an authorized
Saab dealer.
• If the indication AUTO does not light up
after starting (the ignition must have been
switched off for at least 10 minutes): See
“Cancelling program I”, page 87.
• If you think that the ACC system is not
functioning satisfactorily you should:
1 Check that the cigarette lighter plug is in
its socket (since if the socket is empty
heated air can flow out and affect the
cabin sensor).
2 Recalibrate: See the section headed
Calibration, page 87.
• If the battery has been disconnected or
has died, the ACC system should be reca-
librated: See Calibration, page 87.
Programmed settings are not deleted if the
battery has been disconnected.
Extinguishing the lighting in ACC
See section Night panel, page 71.
ACC with soft top folded down
When the soft top is folded down the ACC
system goes over to manual temperature
setting.
Between HI and LO there are eleven (0–10)
fixed temperature steps.
The system adjusts itself as follows:
• AUTO is turned off.
• Heating, air distribution and fan speed are
not affected.
• Recirculation and electric rear window
are turned off.
• A/C assumes the same setting (ON/OFF)
as it had when the soft top was last folded
down.
All manual selections are possible with the
exception of electric rear window.
Saab recommends leaving the ACC setting
on ECON when the soft top is folded down
to improve fuel economy and unnecessary
running of the A/C compressor.
When the soft top is raised the system
reverts to the AUTO mode and the previous
set temperature.
Fault diagnosis and care of A/C sys-
tem, see page 217.
