According to the manual for my 1999 9-3 SE, you can start and operate the car with the reserve key, but the performance of the car will be diminished.
When you turn the reserve key in the ignition, you simultaneously have to push a somewhat unobtrusive button with a screwdriver. You need to press this is because the reserve key does not have the electronic transmitter of the normal keys to deactivate the anti-theft system. Without deactivating the anti-theft system, the fuel pump won't operate. My manual is a little vague, but it suggests that the fuel pump won't operate fully but will only give it enough fuel to "limp" to a dealer.
