New Vehicle Bumper-to-Bumper Limited Warranty
If any part of your Saab passenger vehicle covered under this warranty is found
to have a manufacturing defect in materials or workmanship occurring during normal
use, Saab will make the appropriate corrections free-of-charge (parts and labor) during
the warranty period. Your authorized Saab dealer will complete the required work as
promptly and conveniently as possible.
These are your only remedies under the terms of this warranty. All other remedies
are specifically excluded. Some states do not allow exclusions on how long an implied
warranty lasts, so the above statement may not apply.
Warranty Period: 4 Years/50,000 Miles
The new vehicle bumper-to-bumper limited warranty period for 2006 model year
vehicles is 4 years or 50,000 miles, whichever occurs first. Items not
covered or that may have a different coverage can be found under the heading "Exclusions."
Adjustments and Wear Items
Warranty coverage for adjustments is limited to 1 year or 16,000 miles, whichever
occurs first. Adjustments are defined as refinements to original factory fittings
and alignments which may become necessary during the normal break-in period. (See
your Saab dealer for details.)
During this period, Saab will also replace, if necessary, certain parts based
on operation and driving conditions, which are otherwise normally considered wear
and tear. These include only the following items: wiper blades, drive belts, brake
pads and rotors, and clutch disc during the adjustment period of 1 year or 16,000
miles. Wear items are consumed at varying rates and should be replaced as needed;
they are considered owner responsibility after the adjustment period.

Exclusions
The following items are not covered under the new vehicle bumper-to-bumper limited

Saab currently uses various suppliers for U.S. specification vehicles. Separate tire
warranties are provided in your owner document organizer. |
| • | Specific wear items, e.g., wiper blades, drive belts, brake pads and rotors
and clutch discs are covered by this warranty up to 1 year or 16,000 miles. Wear and
tear items not listed are the owner's responsibility, e.g., filters, fuses, floor
mats, etc. |
| • | Failures or damage caused by the lack of, or improper, maintenance as
specified in this manual. |
| • | Failures due to misuse, improper adjustment or repair, modifications,
accident or competition. |
| • | The use of any part, material or accessory including the improper installation
of those parts/materials/accessories and any subsequent damage to the other parts
or system. |
| • | The use of other than genuine Saab parts or parts not sold by Saab Cars
USA, Inc. |
| • | The use of any fuel or oil or other fluids which do not meet Saab's standards
as outlined in your owner manual. |
| • | Vehicles severely damaged or declared a total loss by an insurer. |
| • | Any vehicle having or having had a branded or salvaged title. |
| • | Vehicles reassembled or repaired using parts from another vehicle previously

| • | Environmental damage to the surface areas, glass and paint which are considered
acts of nature and beyond Saab's control, including road hazards. |
| • | Damage to the interior due to normal wear and tear. |
| • | Any Saab on which the odometer has been damaged or altered so the correct
mileage cannot be determined. |
| • | Incidental and consequential expenses (resulting from a defect covered
by this warranty or any implied warranty) including, but not limited to, loss of use
of the vehicle, loss of time, inconvenience and commercial loss. |
| • | The Saab new vehicle warranty excludes any communication device that becomes
unusable or unable to function as intended due to changes in technology or wireless
service. The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Ruling 02-229 eliminates
the requirement that wireless carriers support the analog network after February 16,
2008. As a result of this ruling, if carriers of OnStar® elect to provide only
digital service commencing on February 16, 2008, the OnStar® system in Saab vehicles
may not operate. |
Other
This warranty, the safety belt and perforation warranties and the emission control
system warranties are the only express warranties made by us with respect to your
Saab. Any other warranties which may be implied by law, including, but not limited
to, any warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, are limited
to the same period and mileage limits shown above.
Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts,
and/or the exclusion or limitations of incidental or consequential damages, so the
above limitations and exclusions may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific
legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.
Note: This warranty is void on vehicles currently or previously titled as salvaged,
scrapped, junked. or totaled.
Additional Notes
Parts used in warranty repairs must be genuine Saab parts. The Saab Parts &
Accessories Limited Warranty applies to these parts, and the coverage on parts replaced
free-of-charge is for the remainder of the New Vehicle Limited Warranty of the term
of the-then current and applicable Parts & Accessories Limited Warranty, whichever
is longer.
It is your responsibility to keep a record of all warranty work and service
performed on your Saab, as it may be necessary to substantiate when a defect was noted,
required maintenance was performed, etc. These records should be transferred to each
subsequent owner.
