Maintenance and serviceMaintenance scheduleThe scheduled maintenance items required to be ser-
viced at regular intervals are shown in the “ Saab War-
ranty and Service Record Booklet”.
For details of your maintenance schedule, read the
separate “Saab Warranty and Service Record Book-
let”.
Maintenance precautionsWhen 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 suddenlyeven when the engine is stopped.
