In accordance with Section 207(b) of the Clean Air Act, Saab Cars USA, Inc., ("Saab") makes the following warranty to each owner of this 2005 vehicle: (1) if the vehicle is maintained and operated in accordance with the written instructions for proper maintenance and use contained in the Saab Owner Manual; and (2) if it fails to conform at any time during the periods set out below to applicable emissions standards as judged by an emissions test approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency; and (3) if such non-conformity results or will result in the vehicle owner having to take action of any kind in order to avoid any penalty or other sanction (including the denial of the right to use the vehicle) under local state or federal law, any authorized Saab Dealer will remedy the non-conformity at no cost to the owner.

While Saab will bear all costs associated with the determination that a claim under this warranty is valid, Saab will not bear any such costs if the claim is dishonored.

This warranty does not cover any incidental or consequential damages, including, but not limited to, loss of use of the vehicle, loss of time, inconvenience or commercial loss.

Warranty Period

This warranty will remain in effect for 8 years or 80,000 miles, whichever first occurs from the date of retail delivery or, from the date it is first placed in service as demonstrator or company vehicle service, except that, if the vehicle has been in use for more than 24 months or 24,000 miles, whichever first occurs, then only those non-conformities resulting from the failure of specified major emission control components (See Major Emission Control Components Parts List), are covered under this warranty.

How To Make An Emissions Performance Warranty Claim

1. You may make a claim under this warranty immediately if your vehicle fails an emission test approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency if, as a result of that failure, you are required to take action of any kind in order to avoid imposition of a penalty or sanction. You need not suffer the loss of the right to use the vehicle, be fined, incur repair expense, or actually bear any penalty or sanction.
2. You may obtain repair under this warranty by bringing your vehicle to any authorized Saab dealer. In most cases, the dealer will be able to inform you promptly whether your claim can be honored. If not, the dealer will submit the claim to Saab for final determination.
3. A final decision on any claim under this warranty either notifying you that the claim will be honored or explaining in writing the basis for denying a claim will be made by Saab not more than the less of:

•	30 days from the time you present your vehicle for repair, or

•	any shorter period of time during which you are required under local, state or federal law to have the vehicle repaired without incurring further penalty or sanction.

4. If Saab fails to make a decision in a timely manner for reasons not attributable to you (such as your requesting a delay) and or not beyond our control or that of the dealer, Saab will pay any costs incurred by you in having the vehicle repaired.

Reasons for Denying a Claim

1. A claim under this warranty may be denied if you have not complied with the instructions for proper maintenance and use contained in your Saab Owner Manual. If there is an objective reason to believe that you did not comply with those instructions, Saab may require you to submit evidence of such compliance. Such evidence may consist of:

the service record in the owner manual which has been validated at the approximate time or mileage intervals specified for service by someone who regularly engages in the business of serving automobiles for the relevant maintenance instructions; or

a showing that the vehicle has been submitted for scheduled maintenance at the approximate time or mileage intervals specified for service to someone who regularly engages in the business of servicing automobiles for the relevant maintenance instructions; or

a statement that you have performed the maintenance at the approximate time or mileage intervals specified, including a showing;

•	that you purchased and used proper parts and

•	that you are able to perform the maintenance properly.

2. Even if you present the evidence referred to previously, however, a claim under this warranty may be denied if:

the vehicle was abused; or

component was installed improperly or was adjusted outside the component manufacturer's specifications; or

unscheduled maintenance of the vehicle resulted in the removal of any component affecting the vehicle's emissions, or its being rendered inoperative; or

an uncertified replacement part, which is defective in materials or workmanship, or not equivalent to the original equipment part, was used in the maintenance or repair of the vehicle; or

damage to the emission control device occurred because of the use of improper fuel.

Use of Certified Parts

Maintenance, replacement or repair of the emission control devices and systems may be performed by any automotive repair establishment or individual using any certified part.

1. No claim under this warranty may be denied on the basis of the use of a properly installed part in the maintenance or repair of this vehicle which has been certified by the part manufacturer in accordance with applicable regulations of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
2. A part not required to be replaced at definite intervals in accordance with the written instructions for maintenance and use shall be covered for a full period of this warranty.
3. For certified parts having a maintenance or replacement interval different from that specified in your Saab Owner Manual, the appropriate time/mileage interval for service shall be the service interval for which the part was certified.

Your Warranty Rights and Obligations

The California Air Resources Board and Saab Cars USA, Inc. (hereafter, Saab) offer the following for clarification of the emission control system warranty on your 2005 Saab vehicle. In California, new motor vehicles must be designed, built and equipped to meet the State's stringent anti-smog standards. Saab must warrant the emission control system on your vehicle for the periods of time listed below provided there has been no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of your vehicle.

Your emission control system includes parts such as the fuel injection system, the ignition system, the catalytic converter and the oxygen sensor. Also included may be hoses, connectors and other components directly related to the control or exhaust or evaporative emissions.

For all of the following warranties, as applicable and according to the terms hereunder, Saab will repair your vehicle at no cost to you including failure diagnosis, parts and labor.

Manufacturer's Warranty Coverage

For 3 years or 50,000 miles, whichever first occurs:

1. If your vehicle fails a California Smog Check inspection, all necessary repairs and adjustments will be made by Saab to ensure that your vehicle passes the inspection. This is emission control system performance warranty.

Owner's Responsibilities Under This Warranty

As the owner of a 2005 Saab vehicle, you are required to perform all required maintenance on your vehicle as listed in your owner manual. Saab recommends that you retain all receipts or service records covering the performance of required maintenance on your vehicle in the event questions arise concerning maintenance. However, warranty coverage will not be denied solely for the lack of receipts or service records. Nor will warranty coverage be denied for your failure to ensure the performance of required maintenance which is not directly related to a failure of a California Smog Check Test or the failure of an emission-related component. These service records should be transferred to each subsequent owner of the vehicle.

You are responsible for presenting your vehicle to a Saab dealer as soon as a problem exists. Although warranty repairs should be completed within a reasonable amount of time, some repairs may take up to 30 days to complete.

As the owner of a 2005 Saab vehicle, you should also be aware that Saab may deny you warranty coverage if your vehicle or a component of your vehicle's emission control system has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved modifications.

If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities, you should contact Saab's Customer Assistance Center at 1-800-955-9007 or the California Air Resources Board at 9528 Telstar Avenue, El Monte, CA 91731.

Warranty Period

The warranty period for all warranties presented above shall begin on the date the vehicle is delivered to the first retail purchaser, or , from the date it is first placed in service as a demonstrator or company vehicle.

As the owner of a 2005 Saab vehicle, you are required to ensure that all required maintenance has been performed on your vehicle as listed in your owner manual.

The emission control system of your 2005 Saab vehicle was designed, built and tested using genuine Saab parts and the vehicle is certified as being in conformity with Federal and California emission control requirements. Accordingly, it is recommended that any replacement parts used for maintenance, repair or repair of components of the emission control system be genuine Saab parts. The owner may elect to have maintenance, replacement or repair of components of the emission control system performed by any automotive repair establishment or individual other than an authorized Saab dealer and may elect to use parts other than genuine Saab parts for such maintenance, replacement or repair without invalidating this warranty. The cost of such service or parts, however, will not be covered under this warranty except in the case of an emergency to the extent provided below.

Use of replacement parts which are not of equivalent quality may impair the effectiveness of your vehicle's emission control system. If other than genuine Saab parts are used for maintenance, replacement, or repair of components affecting emission control, the owner should obtain assurances that such parts are warranted by their manufacturer to be equivalent to genuine Saab parts in calibration, performance and durability. Saab Cars USA, Inc., however, assumes no liability under this warranty with respect to parts other than genuine Saab parts. The use of non-Saab replacement parts does not invalidate the warranty on other Saab components unless non-Saab parts cause damage to warranted parts. This warranty does not cover damage to other vehicle components caused by a failure under warranty of a genuine Saab warranted part.

Repairs and service covered by this warranty will be performed by an authorized Saab dealer at his place of business with no charge for parts or labor including diagnosis, using genuine new or remanufactured Saab parts for any part of the emission control system covered by this warranty. In the case of an emergency where the vehicle is not drivable due to a failure covered by this warranty, Saab Cars USA, Inc. will pay for the towing of your vehicle to the nearest authorized Saab dealer. If for some reason the vehicle cannot be driven or towed to an authorized Saab dealer, or if the dealer is unable to complete repairs within 30 days due to unavailability of parts, repairs may be performed at any available automotive repair establishment or by the owner using any part. Saab will reimburse the owner for diagnosis, parts and labor costs for such repair (not to exceed the Saab suggested retail price for warranted parts replaced or labor charges based upon Saab Cars USA, Inc.'s established time allowance for the warranty repair, and the geographically appropriate hourly labor rate) that are covered under this warranty. Replaced parts and paid invoices in sufficient detail to determine warranty coverage and reimbursement must be presented at an authorized Saab dealer as a condition of reimbursement for emergency repairs.

Warranty Provisions: Vehicle Inspection Program

The owner of any 2005 Saab vehicle certified for sale and registered in California that fails to pass a California Smog Check Test after a period of use of 3 years or 50,000 miles, whichever first occurs, but before a period of use of 7 years or 70,000 miles, whichever first occurs, may choose to have the vehicle repaired at an authorized Saab dealer. If it is determined that the failure of the Smog Check Test was caused by a defective part listed in the Extended Defects Warranty Parts List, then Saab shall be liable for diagnosis, parts and labor costs for correcting the part failure or malfunction. If Saab or the authorized Saab dealer demonstrates that the part failure or malfunction was caused by abuse, neglect or improper maintenance and that such abuse, neglect or improper maintenance was the direct cause of the need for the repair or replacement of the part, then the owner will be liable for all diagnostic and repair expenses.

As an alternative, the owner may choose to have the vehicle repaired at a service establishment other than a Saab dealer. If the vehicle owner chooses to have the warrantable defect repaired by any service establishment other than a Saab dealer, the upper cost limit will not apply to the warrantable defect. Saab Cars USA, Inc. shall not be liable for any expenses incurred at any service establishment other than an authorized Saab dealer except in the case of an emergency as previously described.

Warranty Claim Procedures

A warranty claim may be submitted by bringing a vehicle to any authorized Saab dealer. Saab Cars USA, Inc. would like the California Emission Control Systems Warranty to be properly administered. If you are not notified within 30 days that a performance warranty claim is not valid, then Saab will repair your vehicle free-of-charge. In the event that you do not receive the warranty service to which you believe you are entitled under this Warranty or need assistance locating an authorized Saab dealer, you should contact the Saab Customer Assistance Center at 1-800-955-9007. You may also contact the California Air Resources Board at 9528 Telstar Avenue, El Monte, California, 91731. Please have your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and odometer mileage available when you call.

What Is Not Covered By the California Emission Control Systems Warranty

The warranty does not cover:

1. Failure of a California Smog Check Test or malfunctions in any part caused by misuse (including failure of a turbocharger if the direct cause of that failure is determined by Saab Cars USA, Inc. to be the failure to follow the Starting and Stopping recommendations in your owner manual or the failure to follow the required oil and oil filter maintenance), improper adjustments unless performed by the dealer during warranty repair work, modification, alteration, tampering, disconnection, improper or inadequate maintenance, or use of leaded gasoline or gasoline contaminated with water or gasoline containing alcohol or oxygenate blends in excess of the maximum level recommended in the 2005 Saab Owner Manual for your vehicle; or
