Fuses
The fuses are housed in three fuse panels:
one behind a hatch on the left-hand end of
the dash, one in the engine bay (additional
small unit in front of battery) and one on the
left-hand side of the tr unk. There is space
for spare fuses in the hatch on the left-hand
end of the dash.
To check if a fuse has blown, first remove it
from the panel. If the f ilament is broken, the
fuse has blown.
WARNING
To avoid the risk of short-circuiting and/or
fire breaking out in the electrical system,
the following should be heeded:
 We recommend that you always con- sult an Saab dealer before modifying
or adding any electrical equipment.
Failure to do so can result in the elec-
trical system being damaged.
 Never replace a fuse with one having a higher rating than specified (see
page 235). The color of the fuse indi-
cates its amperage.
 If the same fuse blows repeatedly, have the electrical system checked by
a workshop. We recommend that you
contact a Saab dealer.
 If a MAXI fuse blows, it means that there is a major fault in the electrical
system. Have the car checked without
delay. We recommend that you con-
tact a Saab dealer.

234 Car careA special tool for removing fuses is provided
on the hatch on the left-hand end of the
dash. Simply push the tool onto the fuse,
squeeze and remove the fuse.Some fuses and relays may be fitted but not
connected to the car’
s electrical system.
MAXI fusesThe car also has a number of large fuses
known as MAXI fuses. These are designed
to protect the car’s electrical system from
being damaged. Each MAXI fuse protects a
number of electrical circuits and functions
and therefore has a higher rating (amper-
age) than the standard fuses. No spare
MAXI fuses are supplied with the car.NOTICEIf a MAXI fuse blows, there is a major fault
in the electrical system. Have the car
checked. We recommend that you con-
tact a Saab dealer.
