EverY. driver comfort for

total enjgyment.

The instant you take

the

wheel of the Saab900

Cabriolet you ll know

that

there s no other cabriolet

to

match i t driving it is

an experience without

comparison.

The driver s seat is of

superb anatomical design,

and in addition

to

being

adjustable fore and aft,

the seat cushion is adjust-

able

for

height and slope.

The backrest rake is step-

lessly variable down to

the reclining position, and

the head restraint can be

adjusted for height.

The facia is curved to

enable you

to

see and

reach the furthermost

controls as easily as those

in front of you. In true

sports

car

tradition,

the

instruments are large and

round, and the gear lever

on the centre console is

where your hand will find

it instinctively.

The controls for the

electrically operated top

and electric windows are

also mounted on the

centre console. The door

mirrors are electrically

operated as well, and the

controls are mounted on

the

facia. The car is factory-

fitted with speakers, auto-

matic electric aerial and

the wiring necessary for

installing a radio. For

truly

relaxed motoring, you

can switch on the Cruise

Control system, take

your

foot off the pedal, and

the

electronics will keep the

car travelling at the preset

speed.

The cockpit sensation

The facia curves in front of you, with

all controls and instruments clearly

visible and easy to

reach.

Cruise Control

Set the Cruise Control, take your

foot

off the accelerator

pedal,

and

the car

will ca

rry on travelling at the

preset

speed,

regardless

of

changes

in

road gradient, head ()n winds,

etc

.

Electrically operated

door mirrors

and windows

The

control switches for the electrically operated front and rear

side windows are mounted

on

the centre

console. Four

way con·

trois

are prov

ided on

the facia for adjusting the

door mirrors.

Ingeniously simple

op

The Saab

900

Cabriolet

is an open car in

the

classical sense.

The

top drops neatly

into

its

own

storage compartment between the boot

lid

and

the

back

seat,

without restricting the

visibility towards

the rear.

special

cover

panel is fitted

over

the

storage

compartment,

to protect the

top after

it has been opened.

The side windows can be lowered

fully to

emphasise

the

sensation of

openness .

If the

weather

should suddenly change,

the

top

can

be

raised electrically at the touch

of a

button.

After it has been

locked

in

position with two

latches

at the front, the top

provides the same protection

aga

inst the

elements as the roof of an or

dinary

saloon.

lectrically operated top

The top

is

elect

r

ically

operated

by means

of

a

switch

on the centre console. It

takes

no

more than afew seconds

to ra

i

se

or
