This is a design bug in the ducting of the air condition system. The answer to your question is in my Saab 9-5 FAQ: | Q: I have the AC on, but the rear nozzles are blowing hot air. Why? | A: You have closed the passenger side front nozzles. Follow this link for the longer answer with more details on how to fix it: < http://www.nospam.com/saab/faq_acc.shtml#rear_nozzles > > Also there is no manual (handbook) is there such a thing as .pdf download? A Saab dealer should be able to order a manual for your model/year. > would really like to operate the airco without guessing (why for instance > doesn't it stay "off" between trips) You can program it to start up in any state. If you shut the car off for less than 10 minutes it will start up in the state it was in when shut down, if the car is shut of for more than ten minutes it will start up in the programmed default. This is a feature so you can make a short pit stop without having to change the current settings when you resume your trip. I would recommend that you try to find a manual, there is quite a bit of programming that can be done to the ACC and the audio system by pushing buttons in different combinations. Quite hard to find out without the manual. -- G–ran Larsson http://www.nospam.com/saab/
