Saab 9-7X Automobile User Manual


 
Automatic Operation
AUTO (Automatic): When automatic operation is
active, the system controls the air delivery mode,
fan speed, and temperature inside the vehicle.
Use the steps below to place the entire system in
automatic mode:
1. Press AUTO.
When AUTO is selected, the air conditioning and
air inlet are automatically controlled. The air
conditioning compressor will run continuously when
the outside temperature is over approximately
40°F (4°C). The air inlet will normally be set
to outside air. If it is hot outside, the air inlet
automatically changes to recirculate inside air to
help quickly cool down the vehicle.
2. Set the driver’s and passenger’s temperature.
To find your comfort setting, start with a 72°F (22°C)
temperature setting and allow about 20 minutes
for the system to adjust. Turn the driver or
passenger side temperature knob to adjust the
temperature setting as necessary. If a temperature
setting of 60°F (15°C) is chosen, the system will
remain at the maximum cooling setting. If a
temperature setting of 90°F (32°C) is chosen, the
system remains at the maximum heat setting.
Choosing either maximum setting may not cause
the vehicle to heat or cool any faster.
Manual Operation
9 (Off): Press to turn off the entire climate control
system. Outside air still enters the vehicle, and will be
directed to the floor. The system turns on by pressing
either AUTO, air delivery mode, fan control, or by
adjusting either temperature knob.
Driver’s Side Temperature Knob: Turn clockwise
or counterclockwise to increase or decrease the
temperature on the driver side of the vehicle.
The display will show the temperature setting
decreasing or increasing and an arrow pointing toward
the driver. This knob can also adjust the passenger
side temperature setting if the two are linked.
Passenger Side Temperature Knob: Turn clockwise
or counterclockwise to increase or decrease the
temperature on the passenger side of the vehicle.
The display will show the temperature setting decreasing
or increasing and an arrow pointing toward the
passenger. The passenger temperature setting can be
set to match and link to the driver’s temperature
setting by pressing and holding the AUTO button for
three seconds. When adjusting the driver side
temperature setting, the passenger side temperature
setting will follow and both arrows will appear on
the display. The passenger side temperature setting
also resets and re-links to the driver side temperature
setting if the vehicle has been off for more than
three hours.
