Maintenance and serviceMaintenance schedule The scheduled maintenance items required to be ser- viced at regular intervals are shown in the “ Saab War- ranty and Service Record Bookletâ€. For details of your maintenance schedule, read the separate “Saab Warranty and Service Record Book- letâ€.

Maintenance and service
Maintenance precautions When maintenance and service are required, it is rec- ommended that all work be done by an authorized Saab dealer. If you perform maintenance and service by yourself, you should familiarize yourself with the information provided in this section on general maintenance and service for your Saab. Incorrect or incomplete service could cause improper or unsafe vehicle operation. Any problems caused by improper maintenance and service performed by you are not eligible for warranty coverage.
! Testing of an All-Wheel Drive vehicle must
NEVER be performed on a single two-wheel dy-
namometer or similar apparatus. Attempting to
do so will result in transmission damage and in
uncontrolled vehicle movement and may cause
an accident or injuries to persons nearby.
! Always select a safe area when performing
maintenance on your vehicle.
! Always be very careful to avoid injury when
working on the vehicle. Remember that some of
the materials in the vehicle may be hazardous if

improperly used or handled, for example, bat- tery acid. ! Your vehicle should only be serviced by per- sons fully competent to do so. Serious person- al injury may result to persons not experienced in servicing vehicles. ! Always use the proper tools and make certain that they are well maintained. ! Never get under the vehicle supported only by a jack. Always use a safety stands to sup- port the vehicle. ! Never keep the engine running in a poorly ventilated area, such as a garage or other closed areas. ! Do not smoke or allow open flames around the fuel or battery. This will cause a fire. ! Because the fuel system is under pressure, replacement of the fuel filter should be per- formed only by your Saab dealer. ! Wear adequate eye protection to guard against getting oil or fluids in your eyes. If something does get in your eyes, thoroughly wash them out with clean water. ! Do not tamper with the wiring of the SRS air- bag system or seatbelt pretensioner system, or attempt to take its connectors apart, as that may activate the system or it can render it inop-

erative. The wiring and connectors of these systems are yellow for easy identification. NEV- ER use a circuit tester for these wiring. If your SRS airbag or seatbelt pretensioner needs service, consult your nearest Saab deal- er.
" Before checking or servicing in the en-
gine compartment
! Always stop the engine and set the parking brake firmly to prevent the vehicle from mov- ing. ! Always let the engine cool down. Engine parts become very hot when the engine is run- ning and remain hot for some time after the en- gine is stopped. ! Do not spill engine oil, engine coolant, brake fluid or any other fluid on hot engine compo- nents. This may cause a fire. ! Always remove the key from the ignition switch. When the ignition switch is in the “ON†position, the cooling fan may operate suddenly even when the engine is stopped.

3. Release the secondary hood release located under the front grille by moving the lever toward the left.
Lift up the hood, release the hood prop from its retain-
er and put the end of the hood prop into the slot in the
hood.
To close the hood:
1. Lift the hood slightly and remove the hood prop
from the slot in the hood and return the prop to its re-
tainer.
2. Lower the hood until it approaches about 5.9 in (15
cm) from the closed position and let it drop.
After closing the hood, be sure the hood is securely
locked.
If this does not close the hood, release it from a slightly

Always check that the hood is properly locked before you start driving. If it is not, it might fly open while the vehicle is moving and block your view, which may cause an accident and serious bodily injury.

1) Notch 2) Upper level 3) Lower level 4. Pull out the dipstick again and check the oil level on it. If it is below the lower level, add oil to bring the level up to the upper level.
! Use only engine oil with the recommended grade and viscosity. ! Be careful not to spill engine oil when adding it. If oil touches the exhaust pipe, it may cause a bad smell, smoke, and/or a fire.
If you check the oil level just after stopping the engine, wait a few minutes for the oil to drain back into the oil pan before checking the level. Just after driving or while the engine is warm, the en- gine oil level reading may be in a range between the upper level and the notch mark. This is caused by ther- mal expansion of the engine oil. To prevent overfilling the engine oil, do not add any additional oil above the upper level when the engine is cold.
