Programming Mode

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1996 Saab 900 and 1995 Saab 900. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The A/C-heater control may be programmed by the user. The manual setting can be programmed so that the A/C-heater control panel selects them after starting vehicle.

Those functions that have not been selected manually when programming will be controlled automatically. The heated rear window and air recirculation can only be programmed for the opposite of what the AUTO program selected when programming was carried out.

Programming is carried out by simultaneously pressing ECON and blower fan speed increase push button. See Fig 1 . Cancelling programming mode is done by simultaneously pressing floor and heated rear window push button. In both instances, the selection is acknowledged by flashing of the background lighting. Programmed settings are activated only when ignition has been switched off for more than 4 minutes.
