BILLING CODE 4910–13–P 

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

National Highway Traffic Safety 

Administration 

Petition for Exemption From the 

Vehicle Theft Prevention Standard; 

Saab 

AGENCY: National Highway Traffic 

Safety Administration (NHTSA), 

Department of Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Grant of petition for exemption. 

SUMMARY: This document grants in full 

the Saab Cars North America, Inc.’s 

(Saab) petition for exemption of the 9– 

5 vehicle line in accordance with 49 

CFR part 543, Exemption from the Theft 

Prevention Standard. This petition is 

granted because the agency has 

determined that the antitheft device to 

be placed on the line as standard 

equipment is likely to be as effective in 

reducing and deterring motor vehicle 

theft as compliance with the partsmarking requirements of the Theft 

Prevention Standard (49 CFR part 541). 

DATES: The exemption granted by this 

notice is effective beginning with the 

2011 model year. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Deborah Mazyck, Office of International 

Policy, Fuel Economy and Consumer 

Programs, NHTSA, West Building, 

W43–443, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., 

Washington, DC 20590. Ms. Mazyck’s 

telephone number is (202) 366–0846. 

Her fax number is (202) 493–2990. 

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION: In a petition 

dated March 1, 2010, Saab requested an 

exemption from the parts-marking 

requirements of the Theft Prevention 

Standard (49 CFR part 541) for the MY 

2011 Saab 9–5 vehicle line. The petition 

requested an exemption from partsmarking pursuant to 49 CFR part 543, 

Exemption from Vehicle Theft 

Prevention Standard, based on the 

installation of an antitheft device as 

standard equipment for the entire 

vehicle line. 

Under § 543.5(a), a manufacturer may 

petition NHTSA to grant exemptions for 

one vehicle line per model year. In its 

petition, Saab provided a detailed 

description and diagram of the identity, 

design, and location of the components 

of the antitheft device for the Saab 9– 

5 vehicle line. Saab will install its 

passive transponder-based, electronic 

immobilizer antitheft device as standard 

equipment on its 9–5 vehicle line 

beginning with MY 2011. Major 

components of the antitheft device will 

include a body control module (BCM), 

passive entry passive start module 

(PEPS), intrusion/inclination sensor, an 

immobilizer control module and a user 

identification device (UID). Activation 

of the immobilization device occurs 

when the ignition is turned to the ‘‘OFF’’ 

position. Saab will also install an 

audible and visual alarm system on the 

9–5 as standard equipment. Saab’s 

submission is considered a complete 

petition as required by 49 CFR 543.7, in 

that it meets the general requirements 

contained in § 543.5 and the specific 

content requirements of § 543.6. 

Saab stated that before the vehicle can 

operate, driver authentication must be 

performed by communication between 

the PEPS and the BCM jointly with the 

UID (key fob). Additionally, verification 

of the electronic code is required to 

allow the transmission shift lever to 

unlock. When the Engine Start/Stop 

button on the instrument panel is 

pressed, the vehicle transmits a 

randomly generated 32-bit challenge 

and identifier. If the data matches the 

command and response values, 

authorizations are sent within the BCM 

to allow the vehicle to operate. Saab 

stated that, if incorrect responses are 

received at any point in the process, or 

if a response is not received, the system 

will inhibit operation of the engine. 

The Saab 9–5 is equipped with a 

vehicle alarm system (VAS). The VAS 

consists of an ultrasonic sensor and 

vehicle inclination sensor. Any attempt 

to enter the vehicle by means other than 

the key will be detected by the VAS. 

Saab stated that when an unauthorized 

person has entered the vehicle after the 

system has been set, the signal lights 

will flash, and the horn and an 

additional siren alarm will provide a 

warning. The VAS monitors the doors, 

engine hood and trunk lid. 

Additionally, Saab stated that any 

attempt to access any of the system 

components will activate the VAS. 

In addressing the specific content 

requirements of 543.6, Saab provided a 

detailed list of the tests conducted and 

believes that the device is reliable and 

durable since the device complied with 

its specified requirements for each test. 

Specifically, Saab stated that the design 

and assembly processes of the antitheft 

subsystems and components were 

validated for climatic, mechanical and 

chemical environments under the 

General Motors Corporation validation 

procedures. 

In support of its belief that its 

antitheft device will be as effective as 

compliance with the parts marking 

requirements in reducing and deterring 

vehicle theft, Saab referenced the 

American Automobile Manufacturers 

Association response to Docket 97–042; 

NHTSA Request for Comments on its 

preliminary report to Congress on the 

effects of the Anti Car theft Act of 1984 

provides data supporting that the antitheft device will be effective in reducing 

and deterring motor vehicle theft. 

Additionally, Saab stated that the 2011 

9–5 antitheft device, which was 

introduced on the 2003 Saab 9–3, has 

been designed to enhance the 

functionality and theft protection 

provided by Saab’s first generation 

antitheft system. The Saab 9–3 was 

formerly named the Saab 900. The 

antitheft device installed on the Saab 9– 

3 (Saab 900) was granted an exemption 

from the parts-marking requirements. 

(See 62 FR 55453). 

Saab provided data on the 

effectiveness of the antitheft device 

installed on its 9–3 vehicle line in 

support of the belief that its device will 

be at least as effective as those 

comparable devices previously granted 

exemptions by the agency. The agency’s 

2007 theft data showed that the theft 

rate for the 9–3 vehicle line has 

remained consistently low. The average 

theft rate using three MY’s data for the 

9–3 is 0.4690. Based on the theft rate 

experience of the 9–3 vehicle line and 

the additional advanced technology 

utilized in the current 9–5 antitheft 

system, Saab believes that the Saab 9– 

5 will be more effective in deterring
