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

operated
by means
of
a
switch
on the centre console. It
takes

to ra
