Anti-theft alarm
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2001 Saab 9-3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The anti-theft alarm can be factory-fitted or installed as an accessory.
The anti-theft alarm is armed/disarmed using the car key. On the US/CA/LA markets, the alarm can also be armed/disarmed using the key in the driver's door or the boot lid/tailgate (disarming). If the anti-theft alarm is armed and the car key is inserted into the ignition and turned, the anti-theft alarm will be disarmed when the correct identification code is received from the transponder.
The anti-theft alarm has the following inputs for tripping the alarm:
- Door switches
- Luggage compartment switch
- Bonnet switch
- Ignition lock (position ON with incorrect key)
- Glass breakage sensor
- Angle sensor (accessory)
A tripped alarm is indicated by:
- Direction indicators
- Siren
The behaviour of the anti-theft alarm depends on the market.
