How about ‘Techservative’?
I consider myself one. A liberal in most every other aspect of life besides unnecessary or superfluous technology.
Yeah, I can’t get it to start that way, do you have to wait X amount of time after trying and failing, or unlock/lock again??
I have tried multiple times even counting the blinking red fob light till 10 and still nothing… Yes the lights are blinking and beeping on the truck every time I try…
I have no idea, It took me almost a month to figure it out for mine, every thing I read/saw said to push the lock button twice short pause then push and hold it for the third time.
I’ve also seen pushing the lock button fast 4 times holding it on the 4th push, that sometimes worked on mine but not very reliable, so I just kept trying different patterns until I found something that worked consistently for me.
I guess I will be trying for a while then, I have tr a few different ways, had my wife try it, next will be my son… I will be excited if it just starts once… lol
Thank you for the help…
I just ordered the bed light kit (close to the tailgate), hard to believe it has everything needed but the lights themselves…
Detailed instructions on how to use the trunk make a LOT of sense considering that many modern convertible trunks are nearly filled with the top when it is down. Either the top or what’s in the trunk gets damaged if something is where the top goes. 15 years ago we looked at several convertibles. At that time there were exactly 2 models whose trunks were the same size when the top was down as when it was up: Mustang and Solara. In one case (Volkswagen Eos), there was practically no trunk whatsoever when the top was down.

Gee. Ok thanks. Boy. I didn’t know that. I thought the top just dissolved into non-existence. (You missed the point.)
The SAAB “knows.” If it doesn’t have space, it tells you to open the trunk and fix things up. It won’t do the top if the space isn’t right.
SAABs were great cars. As for the point of the thread… Car owners manuals are crap. They are full of stupid legalese and warnings that intelligent folks don’t need, and idiots won’t understand or read. They’ve grown into massive documents that manufacturers don’t like printing and don’t serve owners well in any format, PDF or printed. They are frequently poorly indexed and organized. I found the instructions for setting up a trailer tire pressure warning system in the section describing the dash but it was not mentioned in the index at all. Stupid but not surprising. The main manual is 400 pages. The audio system and screen has another 150 pages. And they sometimes conflict. I think the first car I had had ONE manual that was less than 100 pages. No, I get the point!

That’s one reason to provide them electronically, as a pdf file. pdf files are searchable, so don’t need a primo index.
Printed or PDF, they’re too long. hundreds of pages worth of stuff, no way to be familiar with all of that, and they’re poorly written. If they need that many pages, “they’re doing it wrong”.
