56 Instruments and controlsCheck fuse 15 (radiator fan) in the fuse 
panel under the hood, see page 219. 
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 by looking at the 
level visible through the plastic tank - do not 
remove the cap. 
If the coolant level falls below the MIN mark, 
the SID will display the message ”FILL 
COOLANT FLUID”. 
Pressure gaugeThe turbo gauge indicates the air volume for 
combustion, which is equivalent to the 
engine load.
At low loads, the needle will move within the 
white zone. At higher loads and during 
heavy acceleration, the needle will enter the 
yellow area. At very high loads (certain var-
iants only) the needle may enter the first part 
of the red zone without indicating that there 
is a fault.Under certain barometric conditions the 
needle may enter the first part of the red 
zone without necessarily indicating that a 
fault has arisen. 
If the needle repeatedly enters the red zone 
and the engine at the same time loses 
power, because the monitoring system is 
holding the charging pressure down, you 
should contact an authorized Saab dealer. 
If the speed exceeds 143 mph (230 km/h), 
the increase in speed will be limited by the 
lowering of the boost pressure. The pres-
sure gauge then moves towards the middle 
of the orange zone, indicating reduced 
engine output and thus reduces the speed 
of the car as well. 
NOTEIf the needle, despite the above action, 
enters the red zone, stop the car immedi-
ately, let the engine idle.
If the needle stays in the red zone, stop 
the engine.
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.

63 Instruments and controls
Switches  
Daytime running lights
The parking lights and daytime running 
lights come on automatically when the igni-
tion switch is ON. 
Note to owners in the U.S.: If you do not 
want Daytime Running Lights, this feature 
can be disconnected: switch off the engine 
and remove fuse No. 35 (see page 217).
Note to owners in Canada: Daytime Run-
ning Lights must not be disconnected as 
they are a Canadian Federal legal require-
ment.
Parking lights
The parking lights can be switched on 
regardless of the position of the ignition 
switch. Do not use parking lights when driv-
ing.
Note: The lighting switch must be in parking 
light or headlight position (low beam posi-
tion only) to operate the fog lights (see page 
66).
Headlights
The headlights come on automatically when 
the ignition is ON and go off when the igni-
tion switch is turned to the LOCK position. 
The parking lights, however, can be on 
when the ignition switch is in the LOCK posi-
tion. 
High/low beamTo switch between high and low beam, lift 
the control stalk fully towards you 
(position 2). When the high beam is on, the 
indicator on the main instrument panel will 
be illuminated.High beam flasher The headlights come on to high beam when 
the stalk is lifted to the first spring-loaded 
position (position 1) and remain on until the 
stalk is released.

145 Interior equipment and trunk
Fuel filler flapThe fuel filler flap is opened by means of a 
button on the driver’s door. The flap is 
spring-loaded, so it opens slightly automat-
ically when released.
Refueling, see page 154.
Opening the fuel filler 
flap in an emergencyIf the fuel filler flap fails to open after the 
button on the driver’s door has been 
pressed, it can be opened manually from 
inside the trunk.
9-5 Sedan:
Start by checking fuse 25 (see page 217). 
A thin cable on the right-hand side in the 
trunk is connected to the catch for the filler 
flap. To open the flap, pull the yellow plastic 
arrow on the end of the cable. 9-5 Wagon:
Start by checking fuse 25 (see page  217).
On the right-hand side of the luggage com-
partment, in the storage locker, is a thin wire 
that is tied to the locking arm of the filler flap. 
To open the flap pull the yellow plastic arrow 
attached to the end of the wire.

161 Starting and driving
Park Brake Shift lockThe transmission has a security function 
known as Park Brake Shift Lock. To move 
the gear selector out of the P position, the 
brake pedal must be depressed at the same 
time as the gear selector catch (detente) is 
pressed in.
Shift Lock override1 Apply the parking brake
2 Make sure the key is in position ON
3 Use a small tool such as a screwdriver 
and push the lever (see picture) down-
wards so that the detent button can be 
pressed approx. 10 mm
4 Move the selector out of position P to N
5 Remove the tool
6 Release the parking brake if the car is to 
be moved immediately; otherwise keep 
it applied
Check fuse No. 1 (see page 217). If the fuse 
is OK, check the battery regarding the volt-
age.
If the problem was cured by changing the 
fuse or battery, you do not have to contact a 
Saab dealer.
If the fuse blows again as soon as the Shift 
Lock feature is activated you should contact 
your Saab dealer.
Automatic transmission, 
fault indicator
If ”Automatic transmission, fault indicator” 
indicator appears on the main instrument 
panel, the system has detected a fault in the 
automatic transmission or its control 
module (see page 53). 
This also means that the Limp-home mode 
has been selected, to guard against further 
damage being done to the transmission. In 
this mode, the automatic transmission 
starts in 4th gear, and gear changes (if nec-
essary) will have to be made manually. 
It is not possible to select the SPORT or 
WINTER mode when the Limp-home mode 
is active. 
You should have the automatic transmis-
sion checked as soon as possible by an 
authorized Saab dealer. 
The following gears will be engaged in the 
respective selector positions when the auto-
matic transmission is in the Limp-home 
mode: 
NOTEDue to electrical problems it may not be 
possible to move the selector out of the 
park position, even if the ignition is ON. If 
for some reason the selector has to be 
moved out of the park position (i.e. to tow 
the car a short distance) do as described 
below.
