Programming For Remote Control






The remote control that is used for the car's anti- theft alarm must be programmed (coded) for that particular car. When the car is delivered, 2 preprogrammed remote control units are supplied. It is possible to obtain 2 additional remote control units (a total of 4 remote control units can be programmed for the car).

Programming

Remote control units
1 Connect an Intelligent Saab Tester (ISAT) scan tool.
Select "PROGRAMMING".
2 Select "REMOTE CONTROL".
Select "PROGRAMMING".
3 Point the remote control unit at the aerial and press one of its buttons within 5 seconds of selecting the ISAT scan tool command. If between 1 and 3 additional remote control units are needed, program these in the same way as described here in point 3.


Important: All remote control units that are to be used must be programmed consecutively without leaving the ISAT scan tool programming mode for remote control units.

Check the number of programmed remote control units
Always check the number of remote control units that have been programmed.
- Ignition on (ignition switch in "ON" position).
- Press the RH button on the remote control unit (tailgate).
- The LED flashes once for each programmed remote control unit.







Deprogramming all remote control units
1 Select "REMOTE CONTROL".
Select "DEPROGRAM ALL",
2 All programmed remote control units will now be deprogrammed.


Important: Unless 4 remote control units are used, none of them can be programmed until all programmed remote controls have been deprogrammed as described in "Deprogramming all remote controls" above. Programming can then be carried out as described in "Remote controls" above.

Make a habit of always having the ignition switch in the Drive position when deprogramming all remote control units. This is to avoid deprogramming while the car is armed.

If all remote controls are deprogrammed and the car is self-immobilized, it is still possible to program anti-theft alarm remote controls.
