Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 1 this device may not cause interference, and 2 this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. Under normal conditions, these should go out a few seconds after the engine has started see page Continued driving without this problem being corrected might cause serious further damage to your car and create unsafe driving conditions.
The driver should be prepared to take action if such unsafe conditions arise e. The car may still be driven with care and with somewhat diminished performance see page Warning, oil pressure engine oil This light will come on if the engine oil pressure is dangerously low. If the light flashes or comes on while you are driving, stop the car, switch off the engine and check the engine oil level see page Low oil pressure can result in serious engine damage.
If it comes on while you are driving, stop the car as soon as possible and switch off the engine. Check the alternator drive belt see page If the belt has broken: This light will come on if there is insufficient brake fluid in the reservoir see pages Danger of brake failure! We recommend that you contact an authorized Saab workshop.
The parking brake is mechanical and operates on the rear wheels. Anti-lock brake warning This light will come on if a fault has occurred in the ABS system. On certain variants and can light up to indicate a fault in the electronic brake force distribution system distribution of the brake pressure between the front and rear wheels. Conventional braking without the ABS function will still be available. For safety reasons, stop the car and check the level of the brake fluid see page If the level is normal, depress the brake pedal firmly two or three times.
Now check the level again. If the level is still normal, you may drive the car, with considerable caution, to the nearest authorized Saab dealer to have the brake system checked. Headlight and parking light indicator This light indicates that the headlights or the parking lights are on.
Indicator, fuel This light comes on when there is less than about 2. The light will come on for about three seconds when the ignition switch is turned to the Start or Drive position. It should go out after the engine has started.
If the car runs out of fuel, air can be drawn in with the fuel, which, in turn, can cause the catalytic converter to be damaged by overheating. If a fault arises in the Xenon headlight system, the headlights will be angled down to avoid impairing the vision of drivers in oncoming traffic. Adjust your speed accordingly as visibility will be reduced. If you do not rectify the problem, nighttime visibility will be poor since the range of the headlights is reduced.
Indicator, high beam This light shows when the headlights are on high beam see page Indicator, rear fog light This light shows when the rear fog light is on see page The rear fog light is switched off automatically when the engine is switched off. When the fog light is next needed, it will have to be switched on manually again.
The rear fog light consists of one light so it should not be mistaken for brake lights. Indicator, open door If a door has not been closed properly, the pictogram will indicate the door concerned or tailgate. In this mode, the gear changes occur later, at higher engine revs, giving the engine and transmission a sportier feel. The mode is also deselected automatically when the selector lever is moved to P, R, M or L, or when the ignition is switched off.
Automatic transmission 3, fault indicator On a car with an automatic transmission, this warning symbol is illuminated if a fault has been detected in the transmission. Switch the ignition off and on again to check if the fault persists.
Even if the fault persists, it is still possible in most cases to drive the car see page Have the automatic transmission checked by an authorized Saab dealer as soon as possible.
NOTICE If the control module has actuated the Limp-home function for the automatic transmission, the car will remain in 5th gear when D is selected, making it very sluggish. To overcome this, select position L to prevent unnecessary wear on the transmission. The transmission then starts in 2nd gear. When the car is moving you can select position D.
When the indicator light is on, the car must not be driven with a trailer attached. The driver can also sense that the engine is not responding normally to the accelerator. The same precautions for safe cornering and driving on slippery roads must still be applied see page The indicator light also goes on when there is a fault in the system.
If a fault is indicated, have the system checked by an authorized Saab dealer. They should go out after about 3 seconds. The tachometer indicates the engine speed in thousands of revolutions per minute. The needle may be allowed to enter the broken red zone on the dial only for an instant. A safety cut-out function in the fuel system prevents the engine speed from exceeding approximately 6, rpm.
Odometer and trip meter The odometer records the distance traveled in miles on U. Pressing the button a second time will reset the trip meter. Cars sold in U. Fuel-tank capacity, The fuel gauge shows the amount of fuel left in the tank. When this is down to about 2. Use the Saab Information display SID to check the approximate distance that can be traveled on the remaining fuel see page The temperature gauge shows the temperature of the coolant.
The needle should be in the middle of the scale when the engine is at normal operating temperature. If the needle approaches the red zone, which can occur in very hot weather or when the engine is under a heavy load, drive in the highest gear possible, keep the engine revs low and avoid shifting down.
If the needle stays in the red zone, stop the engine. Check fuse 1 radiator fan in the fuse panel under the hood, see page If the needle repeatedly enters the red zone, stop the car as soon as it is safe to do so and check the coolant level by looking at the level visible through the plastic tank — do not remove the cap.
The pressure in the cooling-system can cause hot coolant and steam to be released. Failure to heed this warning may result in personal injury. IB 66 Pressure gauge The turbo gauge indicates the air volume for combustion, which is equivalent to the engine load. Under certain barometric conditions, the needle may enter the first part of the red zone without necessarily indicating that a fault has arisen.
If the needle repeatedly enters the red zone and the engine at the same time loses power because the monitoring system is limiting boost pressure, you should contact a workshop immediately. The turbo gauge will move to the middle field, indicating a drop in engine output and consequently a reduction in vehicle speed. Selector lever indication 3 The display below the speedometer indicates the position of the selector lever.
If manual mode is selected, the current gear is displayed. SID provides the following function: Temp. Outside temperature D. If you wish to change the alarm time, press or. ON appears to the right of the alarm time to indicate that the alarm will go off at the set time. When the alarm sounds, it can be deactivated with CLR.
If you wish to change speed, press or. ON appears to the right of the speed if a warning will sound when vehicle speed exceeds the set speed. The calculated arrival time will then appear next to the distance. SID calculates arrival time using the set distance and average vehicle speed.
The values are updated during the trip. If you take a break, this time is added to the previously calculated arrival time. After the distance to destination has decreased to zero, Dist. The starting value for the trip meter will be the last distance set for the Dist. Example: miles is set for the Dist.

Do not use parking lights when driving. Note: The lighting switch must be in parking light or headlight position low beam position only to operate the fog lights see page Light switches Headlights The headlights come on automatically when the ignition is ON and go off when the ignition switch is turned to the LOCK position.
The parking lights, however, can be on when the ignition switch is in the LOCK position. In cold and damp weather, the inside of the headlamp lens may temporarily mist up. This misting does not affect the function or service life of the light fitting. When the lamps are on, the mist will eventually disappear.
IB The parking lights and daytime running lights come on automatically when the ignition switch is ON.
Note to owners in the U. Note to owners in Canada: Daytime Running Lights must not be disconnected as they are a Canadian Federal legal requirement. When the high beam is on, the indicator on the main instrument panel will be illuminated. High beam flasher The headlights come on to high beam when the stalk is pulled to the first spring-loaded position position 1 and remain on until the stalk is released.
To activate this function, In poor visibility, avoid following the tail lights of the vehicle in front of you. If the vehicle stops suddenly, you may be unable to avoid a crash and therefore risk injury to yourself and others. The length of time for this function can be adjusted by your authorized Saab dealer.
The rear fog light will go off automatically when the engine is switched off. The rear fog light consists of one light so it is not be mistaken for brake lights. The stalk has fixed positions for indicating a right or left turn, and the indicators are cancelled automatically stalk returns to off position. The stalk also has an intermediate, spring-loaded position that is useful for signalling when changing lanes or passing.
The respective indicator lights on the instrument panel flash at the same frequency as the direction indicators. See also Night panel on page In daylight or other equally bright light, the instrument and switch illumination is automatically extinguished.
Fog lights should only be used in poor visibility conditions. If the ignition is on, both indicator lights on the instrument panel will also flash. If the hazard warning lights are left on for some time, the flasher frequency will be reduced to save the battery.
Hazard warning lights should only be used if the car constitutes a hazard to other road users. Switch on the hazard flashers if the car has to be left at the roadside on account of a crash, engine trouble or a puncture. If you carry a warning triangle or flares, they should be set up along the side of the road ft.
If the car is not clearly visible e. Reversing lights The reversing lights come on automatically when reverse gear is engaged or selected with the ignition switched on.
Moving the control stalk to the spring-loaded position between 0 and 2 will produce a single sweep of the wipers. The wipers are designed for optimal cleaning at all driving speeds. This may be due to the increased air pressure on the blades at higher speeds.
The headlight washers cannot be activated separately. The headlight washers are of the high-pressure type, which means that other parts of the car may become wet if you activate the washers while the car is stationary. NOTICE To avoid damaging the windshield wipers, turn the rain sensor off before washing the car in an automatic carwash.
Control for setting wiper delay 1 Long delay 2 Short delay The rain sensor automatically controls the windshield wipers. The sensor is located on the windshield beside the rearview mirror. The system varies between single sweeps of the windshield and continuous wiping depending on how much water or snow there is on the windshield.
Activate the system by lifting the control stalk to position 1. The wipers make one sweep for reference to see how much water and snow is on the windshield. In future, the sensor compares the amount of water and snow on the windshield with this reference value. Set the sensitivity using the control on the wiper stalk the same control as used for wiper delay on cars not fitted with a rain sensor.
The sensor has three sensitivity settings. It is most sensitive when in the uppermost position 1. When a higher degree of sensitivity is selected, the wipers make one sweep of the w indshield for reference. The rain sensor has a daylight and a night time mode. The sensor measures the amount of available light and automatically selects the appropriate mode. The sensor is more sensitive at night. The function of the rain sensor is impaired by dry snow. Rear-window wiper SportCombi 3 1 The rear-window wiper and washer are operated with the same stalk switch as used for washing and wiping the windshield and headlights.
The ON position provides intermittent wiping. The position provides washing and wiping. After a few sweeps the wiper stops or reverts to intermittent wiping, if this has been chosen. A spring-loaded position between the OFF and ON positions allows for a single sweep of the rear-window wiper. Intermittent wiping of the rear window occurs when reverse gear is engaged if the windshield wipers are in position 1, 2 or 3, see page The system will achieve the desired temperature in the quickest possible way.
Note that selecting a higher or lower temperature than that desired will not speed up the process. For the ACC system to be most effective, all windows and moonroof 3 should be closed. Fresh air for the cabin is drawn in through an inlet grille adjacent to the bottom edge of the windshield. The air flows through a filter upstream of the ACC system before delivery to the cabin.
Cabin air is evacuated via openings in the rear parcel shelf and then through outlets on either side of the car behind the rear bumper.
The filter is a combined particle and charcoal filter. It is so efficient that levels of noxious substances such as benzene and toluene are also reduced. How often this will need to be done depends on how clean the air is — if there are smokers in the car, cleaning will need to be done more frequently. In winter, for instance, the outer vents can be directed onto the door windows for enhanced demisting.
The flow of air through the panel vents can be controlled individually for each vent by means of the adjacent control. The climate control system works best if the panel vents are open. If you find the air cold or that it is drafty, start by directing the air away from the body. If the center vent is aimed up, it will cool the interior temperature sensor and you may need to adjust ACC up or down, depending upon temperature desired.
The displayed temperature is not the absolute temperature but corresponds to the comfort level normally experienced at that temperature after allowance has been made for the air flow, relative humidity, solar radiation, etc.
Once the desired climate has been achieved, the rear center vents can be closed to prevent warm air being distributed at face height. When the ignition is switched off, only the temperature control affects the system the next time the engine is started. Temperature, however, can be adjusted on the passenger side. If a manual function is selected, it will be locked in but other functions will be controlled automatically.
The selected temperature is always maintained automatically. Temperature, air distribution, fan speed and recirculation will be controlled automatically. Pressing AUTO once will cancel all previous manual selections. No cooling of inlet air. Temperature, air distribution and fan speed still under automatic control. Turn the fan control anticlockwise until "OFF" lights up. Fan OFF. Air distribution selections locked in current settings. Recirculation can be selected manually.
Heating 3 and ventilation 3 of the front seats is deactivated. Pressing the AUTO button will put the system into automatic mode. Reactivation by turning the fan control clockwise one click causes the system to resume any manual selections. The rear window and door mirror heating is controlled manually. Deactivate the heating as soon as the rear window is clear of ice and misting to avoid imposing a heavy load on the battery longer than necessary. Note, however, that heating will deactivate automatically after a set time, depending on the outside temperature.
Turn the fan control to increase fan speed. Recirculation is controlled automatically to optimize cooling although it can also be switched on and off manually. Recirculation does not appreciably change the air quality but it can be useful to switch it on to avoid unpleasant smells from entering the cabin. Two presses: Air is directed to the windscreen without the fan speed being increase or the rear window heating being switched on. To revert to a previous setting, press the AUTO button.
IB Fan: high speed. The air is directed to the defroster vents. Temperature increases somewhat. Recirculation OFF. As the engine warms up, air will also be distributed through the floor vents and the fan speed will be increased. As the temperature inside the car nears the selected value, both the fan speed and the heat will be decreased to a level determined by the system. As the temperature inside the car nears the selected value, the fan speed will be decreased to a value determined by the system.
Function Operation in AUTO mode after adaptation Adaptation and restoration of factory settings is done by holding the respective button depressed approx. Make sure the ignition is ON. Factory setting Function The rear window heating will Heating is selected come on after the engine has manually.
Fuel consumption may increase slightly. Seat heating comes on if the system determines that heating is necessary based on the temperature in the seat and the outside temperature. Repeatedly pressing the button switches between low output, high output and off. If the battery has been disconnected or has run flat, the system will need to be recalibrated. Calibration is started manually as follows: 1 Start the engine. It is therefore perfectly normal for water to be seen dripping from these outlets when the car is parked.
The warmer the ambient air and the higher the humidity, the more condensation water will form. Calibration takes approx. Formation of ice and mist in extreme weather conditions Useful tips before taking the car to a workshop.
See "Calibration" above. It is only in the most extreme conditions that icing and misting of window glass are likely to be a problem, e. If this is not enough The following measures are recommended if the occupants feel that it is cold and draughty in the car: 1 Make sure that all the air vents are fully open, including the center rear vent.
