Remote Control







All Saab 9-5 cars are equipped with remote controls. Each car is delivered with 2 car keys with integrated remote control in the key header. This function is the same as in earlier variants, i.e. it is used to manoeuvre the central locking system, as a back-up for immobilization and for arming/deactivating the anti-theft alarm. The car key can also be used for earlier Saab 9-5 cars.
The remote control is available in three variants with different sending frequencies and ranges. Specifications

Function
Point the remote control towards the car. When a button is pressed, the remote control sends a control signal which is received by the remote control receiver unit. The range is approx. 5-15 metres.
The signal from the remote control is a fixed identification code (each remote control has its own code) and a "rolling code", which is changed each time a button is pressed.


NOTE: Remote manoeuvring also works inside the car. Therefore, grip the key in such a way that you avoid unintentionally pressing the button when inserting, turning or removing the key in the ignition switch.
Otherwise, you could lock the doors and/or unlock the boot lid.


Control buttons on the remote control
LOCK Used to lock the car with the central locking and arm the anti-theft alarm.
UNLOCK Used to unlock the car with the central locking and disarm the anti-theft alarm.
TAILGATE Used to unlock the boot lid/tailgate only while also disarming it.







Transport
The remote control does not function on transport.
