brake light SAAB 9-3 2002 Owner's Manual

217 Car care
10 Recheck the wheel bolts after a few
miles.
Tightening torque:
Light-alloy wheels: 80 ft.lbs (110 Nm)
Steel wheels: 80 ft.lbs (110 Nm)
We advise against using wheels with open
wheel covers in winter, as the brake compo-
nents are then more exposed both to slush
and to road salt and grit.
Tire chains; see page 172. NOTE
When refitting wheel covers (where
applicable), make sure that the valve
protrudes through the hole in the wheel
cover.
NOTEDo not overtighten the bolts using an
impact wrench: not only can this damage
the wheels but it can also make it impos-
sible to undo the bolts using the wheel
wrench in the car’s toolkit.NOTESaab 9-3 Viggen: The minimum permis-
sible wheel diameter is 16”, due to the
size of the brake discs.

Position for jack, Saab 9-3 Viggen. The front and rear jacking points are located behind
covers that must be removed. Remove the covers by taking hold of the lower edge and
pulling outwards. When replacing the covers, fit the catches along the top edge first and
then press home the cover.
