Indicator, fuel


ESP® indicator


This light comes on when there is less than about 2.5 gallons (10 liter) of fuel left in the tank.


NOTICE


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.


Headlight and parking light indicator


This light indicates that the headlights or parking lights are on.


Cruise control indicator light


This light comes on when the system is engaged.


This symbol lights up when the system is operative. Operation of the ESP® indicates reduced cohesion between the tires and the road, and that extra care should be taken by the driver.


ESP® OFF indicator


WARNING


The system improves stability and maneuverability under slippery road and extreme driving conditions. It must how- ever not be regarded as a system to enable the driver to maintain higher speeds. The same precautions as normal for safe cornering and driving on slippery roads must be adopted (see pages 173/ 175).


This symbol lights up when the system is disengaged, see page 176. If there is a malfunction, the symbol cannot be turned off by pressing the ESP® button. The following message is shown on the Saab Information Display (SID):


Stability control failure. Contact service.


If so, have the system checked at a Saab dealer. See also Electronic Stability Program ESP® on page 175.

Autochecking of lights, main instrument panel The warning and indicator lights shown above should come on when the ignition switch is turned to ON. They should go out after about 4 seconds once the engine has started or after the fault-free self-diagnosis of each system or function.


Instruments Tachometer The tachometer displays the engine speed in thousands of revolutions per minute. A protective function (interruption of the fuel supply) limits the engine speed within the red zone.


Speedometer (U.S. speedometer shown) Cars sold in U.S.: The speedometer dis- plays the speed of the car in miles per hour (mph). Cars sold in Canada: The speedometer displays the speed of the car in kilometres per hour (km/h). It receives information about vehicle speed from the ABS’s wheel sensors.

Instruments and controls


Temperature gauge The temperature gauge shows the temper- ature of the coolant. The needle should be in the middle of the scale when the engine is at normal operating temperature. If the needle goes into the red zone (which can occur at high outside air temperatures or under heavy engine loads), choose the highest possible gear ratio and the lowest possible engine speed, and avoid shifting down.


NOTICE


If the needle, despite the above action, enters the red zone, stop the car in a suit- able place and allow the engine to idle. If the needle continues to rise, switch off the engine.


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 (see page 210).


WARNING


Never open the cap of the expansion tank completely when the engine is hot, open with care. The pressure in the cool- ing-system can cause hot coolant and steam to be released. Failure to heed this warning may result in personal injury.


Turbo gauge The turbo gauge indicates the air volume used for combustion, which is equivalent to the engine load. At low loads and when the engine is used for braking, the needle will move within the white zone. Under certain barometric conditions the needle may enter the first part of the red zone without necessarily indicating that a fault has arisen.


93_US_MY09.book Page 89 Tuesday, April 15, 2008 10:30 AM


If the needle repeatedly enters the red zone and the engine at the same time loses power, because the monitoring system is limiting the boost pressure, you should contact a Saab dealer as soon as possible. If the speed of the car exceeds 143 mph (230 km/h) (this speed varies between dif- ferent engine variants), acceleration is lim- ited by reducing the boost pressure. The pressure gauge then moves towards the middle of the white field, indicating a drop in engine power and consequently the car’s speed.

Instruments and controls Saab Information Display (SID) (cid:127) Various types of information are shown on


the SID: warnings, indications, trip computer information and information from the car’s Infotainment System.


Fuel gauge When less than about 2.5 gallons (10 liter) of fuel is left in the tank, a warning light on the main instrument panel comes on. Because of the fuel remaining in the tank, the amount of fuel required to fill the tank may be less than the specified tank capac- ity. Refueling, see page 156.

The SID includes two mutually inde- pendent counters, one for the main service and one for the intermediate service. When a service is carried out, e.g. intermediate service, the counter is reset for the intermediate service. The counter for the other service type, main service, continues unaffected. This means that once a service has been carried out, the counter may show e.g. 47% even though a service has just been carried out. The percentage refers, then, to the other service type. MAIN Main services are carried out at specific meter settings. This interval varies depending on market and engine var- iant. Contact a workshop for more infor- mation. We recommend that you con- tact an authorised Saab workshop.


INTERMEDIATE The intermediate service, on the other hand, is carried out depending on the number of cold starts and the climate conditions in which the car is driven, for example. This is why the interval for this type of service varies. MAIN & INTERMED A combined service is carried out when the counters of both service types are close to one another.

Switches


Daytime Running Lights (DRL)


When the switch is in the AUTO position, there is an automatic switch between low- beam and Daytime Running Lights (DRL) based on the amount of daylight. Two sen- sors located at the top of the windshield detect upward and forward light intensity. This makes it possible for the system to automatically perform functions such as activating low beam when you drive into a tunnel on a sunny day. Parking lights are turned off.


In cold and damp weather, the inside of the headlamp lens may temporarily mist up. This misting does not affect the func- tion or service life of the light fitting. When the lamps are on, the mist will eventually disappear.


Light switch


Cars with xenon lights: The bulbs for DRL are in the inner of the two bulb holders in the bulb housing. The bulb is visible from the outside. Cars with halogen lights: These cars do not have a separate DRL bulb. Low beam instead shines with reduced output. A fault in the system will produce the follow- ing message on the Saab Information Dis- play (SID):


Automatic light control malfunction.


Instruments and controls


97


When the engine is started and the switch is in the AUTO position Cars with automatic transmission: DRL or low beam (which depends on the amount of daylight) comes on when the gear selec- tor is moved out of the P position. The light goes out when the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position (engine is turned off). Cars with manual transmission: If the parking brake is applied when the engine is started, DRL or low beam (which depends on the amount of daylight) comes on when the parking brake is released. Otherwise, the light comes on when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position. The light goes out when the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position (engine is turned off). High beam cannot be activated in the DRL mode but headlight flasher can.

Low beam headlights are turned on when the ignition switch is turned to ON and turned off when the switch is turned back to LOCK.


If the switch is in the position, there is no automatic switch between DRL and low beam. Low beam comes on when the igni- tion switch is in the ON position.


The parking lights can be turned on irre- spective of the position of the ignition switch. If the parking lights are on and the driver’s door is opened, a reminder to turn them off will sound. Do not use the parking lights alone while driving.


When the switch is in the position, there is no automatic shift between low beam and DRL. When it is time to turn on low beam the fol- lowing message appears in SID:


Turn on the lights.


Headlight levelling 3
Cars with xenon headlights are equipped with an automatic headlight levelling sys- tem, which self-calibrates each time the vehicle is started. If a fault arises in the automatic headlight levelling system, the headlights will be angled down to avoid dazzling drivers in oncoming traffic. Adjust your speed accord- ingly as the range of the headlights will be reduced. Check fuse 20 in the engine bay fuse box (see page 238). A fault in the system will produce the follow- ing message on the Saab Information Dis- play (SID):


Headlight levelling malfunction.


Special equipment is required for adjusting the basic headlight alignment.

When the car speed exceeds approx. 6 mph (10 km/h), the main headlight will be angled when the steering wheel is turned. The beam can be angled maximum 15 ° to the right or left compared to a car without cornering headlights. If a fault occurs in the cornering headlights, there is no angling when the steering wheel is turned. The beam continues to shine straight ahead and the following message appears in SID:

WARNING


Switch on the hazard flashers if the car has to be left at the roadside on account of a crash, engine trouble or a flat tire. If you carry a warning triangle or flares, they should be set up along the side of the road 50–110 yds. (50–100 metres) behind your vehicle. If the car is not clearly visible (e.g. over the brow of a hill or bridge), place the triangle/flare even further back.


The button for the hazard warning lights is located on the climate control panel. When the button is pressed, all the direction indicators and the symbol in the button flash simultaneously. If an indicator bulb breaks, the frequency with which the indicators flash will be doubled. Hazard warning lights should only be used if, because of an accident or breakdown, the car constitutes a hazard to other road users.

Activate the rain sensor by lifting the stalk switch to the AUTO position. The wipers make one sweep for reference to see how much water is on the windshield. Thereafter the sensor compares the amount of water on the windshield with this reference value. If the stalk switch is left in the AUTO position when the engine is switched off, when the engine is next started it must first be moved to the 0 or 3 position and then back to AUTO to reactivate the sensor. If the system malfunctions, the wipers will operate at low speed when the stalk switch is set to the AUTO position and SID will show:


Washers Activate the washers by pulling the stalk switch towards the steering wheel. When the washers are operated, the wipers will make 3, 4 or 5 sweeps, depending on how long the washers were kept on. If the speed of the car is less than 12 mph (20 km/h), the wipers will make an addi- tional sweep after roughly 8 seconds. When the washer fluid level drops below 1 quart (1 liter), the headlight washers (if equipped) are deactivated. This is in order to prioritize the windshield.

Automatic climate- control system (ACC) Fresh air for the cabin is drawn in through an inlet at the bottom edge of the windshield. It passes through an effective filter before reaching the climate control system and delivery into the cabin. The air is evacuated via openings in the parcel shelf. It is then led through outlets on either side of the car behind the rear bumper. The Automatic Climate-Control system (ACC) automatically maintains the desired cabin temperature, regardless of the weather outside. The system will achieve the desired temper- ature in the quickest possible way. Note that heating or cooling is not more rapid by setting the temperature higher or lower than the final temperature you desire. To optimize the performance of the air con- ditioning system, all windows and the moonroof 3 should be shut. The air vents in the fascia must be open.

The incoming air is treated in three stages: first it passes through a filter; it is then dehu- midified and cooled; and finally, if required, it is heated. The filter is a combined particle and char- coal filter. It is so efficient that levels of nox- ious substances such as benzene and tolu- ene are also reduced.


To reduce potential misting on the insides of the windows, the glass should be cleaned with a quality glass cleaner. How often this will need to be done depends on how clean the air is - if there are smokers in the car, the windows will need to be cleaned more frequently.

(cid:127) The most usual temperature setting is


between 64–75 °F (18–24 °C), depend- ing on personal preference and what clothing is worn.


(cid:127) Change the temperature setting in 2 °F


(1 °C) steps.


Make sure the air vents are open when cool- ing the cabin in warm weather. When the ignition is switched off, only the temperature control affects the system the next time the engine is started. The system will warm up/cool down to the temperature to which the control is set.


Temperature control The cabin is divided into two temperature zones: 1 Driver’s zone. 2 Passenger zone. The temperature in the rear seat will be a mixture of the two zones. The cabin temperature can be set to between 61–79 °F (16–26 °C). The selected temperature is not the actual air temperature but corresponds to the com- fort level normally experienced at that tem- perature after allowance has been made for the airflow, relative humidity, solar radiation, and so on, currently prevailing inside the car.


Panel vent


Air vents The air vents swivel universally, so that air can be directed as desired. In winter, for instance, the outer vents can be directed onto the door windows for enhanced demisting. The amount of air can be individually con- trolled by the regulator on each vent. If you wish to reduce the airflow, start by half-shutting the vent in question. Certain variants have an air vent on the rear of the floor console.

MAX heat (red indicator): MAX heating is obtained when the temper- ature knob is turned to the first position past 79 (to the red LED). The driver’s side selection controls air distri- bution and the recirculation status. The tem- perature can be adjusted on the passenger side. MAX heating produces: (cid:127) Max heat (cid:127) Air distribution to windscreen and floor (cid:127) Recirculation OFF (cid:127) High fan speed.


MAX cooling (blue indicator): MAX cooling is obtained when the tempera- ture knob is turned to the first position past 61 (to the blue LED). The driver’s side selection controls air distri- bution and the recirculation status. The tem- perature can be adjusted on the passenger side. MAX cooling produces: (cid:127) Max cooling effect (A/C compressor will run even if AC OFF has been selected)

Condensation water When the A/C compressor is on, the incom- ing air is dehumidified. The resulting con- densation water is drained away through an outlet under the car. It is therefore perfectly normal for water to be seen dripping from this outlet when the car is parked. The warmer the ambient air and the higher the humidity, the more con- densation will form.

Functions Pressing AUTO will cancel all manual settings. 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 recir- culation will be controlled automatically. Pressing AUTO once will cancel all previous manual air distribution selections. When the engine is started, the ACC system will be in AUTO mode. The A/C-compressor is turned off. The incoming air is not cooled or dehumidified. Tem- perature, air distribution, fan speed and recirculation will be controlled automatically. Turn the fan control counterclockwise until "OFF" lights up. ACC-system OFF. Fan OFF. A/C-compressor OFF. Air distribution selections locked in current settings. Recirculation can be selected manually. Heating 3 of the front seats is deactivated. Pressing AUTO-button will put the system into auto- matic mode. Reactivation by turning the fan control clockwise one click causes the system to resume any manual selec- tions.

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, how- ever, that heating will deactivate automatically after a set time. Turn the fan control to increase fan speed. If fan speed 0 is selected, the A/C-compressor will be disengaged and the indicator on the AC OFF button will illuminate.


The recirculation is controlled automatically for opti- mum cooling. If necessary, recirculation can also be switched on manually for shorter times to avoid unpleasant air from entering the cabin for example. Poor air quality in the cabin could lead to tiredness. For this reason you should only drive in the recircula- tion position temporarily. If recirculation is switched on when the outside tem- perature is lower than about +37 °F (+3 °C) (A/C com- pressor disengaged) then the air humidity in the cabin increases which could cause misting on the windows.

Start in cold weather To start with, the system will automatically select the defroster set- ting, maximum heat and low fan speed. 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.


Start in warm weather The system will automatically distribute air through the panel vents at high fan speed and will activate the A/C compressor (unless the AC OFF switch has been pressed). If the ambient air temperature is over 77 °F (25 °C), the recirculation cuts in after 0-15 seconds, if this is required in order to reach the desired temperature. As the temperature inside the car nears the selected value, the fan speed will be decreased to a value determined by the system.

Formation of ice and mist in extreme weather conditions It is only in the most extreme conditions that icing and misting of window glass are likely to be a problem, such as in torrential rain or severe cold coupled with high relative humidity, or when passengers are perspir- ing heavily or wearing wet clothes. The fol- lowing measures are recommended if such problems should occur: 1 Select AUTO and set the temperature to


70 °F (21 °C)


2 Push one time on the defroster button. If


this is not enough...


3 Increase the fan speed. If this is not


enough...


4 Select a higher temperature.

Interior rear view mirror with garage opener, auto dimming function and compass 3


WARNING


Make sure that people and objects are out of the way of moving door or gate to pre- vent potential harm or damage. When programming the garage opener, you may be operating a garage door or gate operator. Therefore it is advised to park outside of the garage. Do not use the garage opener with any garage door opener that lacks the safety stop and reverse feature as required by federal safety standards. (This includes any garage door opener model manufac- tured before April 1, 1982.). A garage door opener which cannot detect an object, signaling the door to stop and reverse, does not meet current federal safety standards. Using a garage door opener without these features increases risk of serious injury or death.


Mirror position lever 1 Normal position 2 Anti dazzle position


Interior rear view mirror The interior rear view mirror is of the auto dimming type and can be deflected with the lever on its underside. Certain variants have an auto dimming rear view mirror. The lever should be in the normal position when you adjust the mirror.

Preparations for first-time programming Before programming the garage opener for the first time, you must delete any factory codes. Press and hold the two outer buttons until the indicator light begins to flash-after 20 seconds. Release both buttons. Do not hold for longer that 30 seconds. The garage opener is now in the train (or learning) mode and can be programmed at any time begin- ning with "Programming" - step 2.


Note: Some gate operators and garage door openers may require you to replace this Programming Step 4 with procedures noted in the "Gate Operator / Canadian Programming" section. 5 After the indicator light changes from a slow to a rapidly blinking light, release both the mirror and hand-held transmit- ter buttons.


6 Press and hold the just-trained button


and observe the indicator light. If the indicator light stays on constantly, programming is complete and your device should activate when the button is pressed and released.


Note: To program the remaining two but- tons, begin with "Programming" - step three. Do not repeat step two.


Programming The garage opener can record and store the frequencies of three different remote con- trols. The battery in the remote control should be fairly new for programming to work well. Do not repeat "Programming" - step two to train additional devices to a second or third button. Begin with "Programming" - step three. 1 Turn the ignition ON. 2 Press and hold the two outer buttons


(buttons one and three) - releasing only when the indicator light begins to flash (after 20 seconds). Do not hold the buttons for longer than 30 seconds and do not repeat step two to program a second and/or third hand-held transmit- ter to the remaining two buttons.


3 Position the end of your hand-held trans- mitter 1-3 inches (5-14 cm) away from the button you wish to program while keeping the indicator light in view. The transmitter should face the mirror from below or left side of the mirror.


4 Simultaneously press and hold both the


chosen and hand-held transmitter buttons. Do not release the buttons until step 5 has been completed.


93_US_MY09.book Page 125 Tuesday, April 15, 2008 10:30 AM


If the indicator light blinks rapidly for two seconds and then turns to a constant light continue with "Programming" steps 7-9 to complete the programming of a rolling code equipped device (most commonly a garage door opener). 7 At the garage door opener receiver


(motor-head unit) in the garage, locate the "learn" or "smart" button. This can usually be found where the hanging antenna wire is attached to the motor-head unit.


8 Firmly press and release the "learn" or "smart" button. (The name and color of the button may vary by manufacturer.)


Note: There are 30 seconds in which to ini- tiate step nine. 9 Return to the vehicle and firmly press, hold for two seconds and release the programmed button. Repeat the "press/hold/release" sequence a second time, and, depending on the brand of the garage door opener (or other rolling code equipped device), repeat this sequence a third time to complete the programming process. The garage opener should now activate your rolling code equipped device.


Note: To program the remaining two but- tons, begin with "Programming" - step three. Do not repeat step two.


Gate Operator / Canadian Programming Canadian radio-frequency laws require transmitter signals to "time-out" (or quit) after several seconds of transmission - which may not be long enough for the garage opener to pick up the signal during programming. Similar to this Canadian law, some U.S. gate operators are designed to "time-out" in the same manner. If you live in Canada or you are having diffi- culties programming a gate operator by using the "Programming" procedures (regardless of where you live), replace "Programming " step 4 with the following: Note: If programming a garage door opener or gate operator, it is advised to unplug the device during the "cycling" process to pre- vent possible overheating. Continue to press and hold the button while you press and release - every two sec- onds ("cycle") your hand-held transmitter until the frequency signal has successfully been accepted by the garage opener. (The indicator light will flash slowly and then rap- idly.) Proceed with "Programming" step five to complete.

NOTICE


Switch off the power supply to the garage door or gate (or park the car beyond the range of the remote control) while pro- gramming using the "cycling" method to prevent damaging the electrical motor.


Reprogramming a single button To program a device to the garage opener using a button previously trained, follow these steps: 1 Press and hold the desired button. DO


NOT release the button.


2 The indicator light will begin to flash after


20 seconds. Without releasing the button, proceed with "Programming" - step 3.
