CHECK messages and incorporates eight
trip-computer functions.
Use the i/SET button to browse the func-
tions.
Outdoor temperature(Frost warning)
Regardless of which function has been
selected, except Night Panel Mode, SID will
automatically display the outdoor tempera-
ture when it is between 26° and 38°F (–3°
and +3°C). This also applies if the
temperature has moved outside the range
of 21° to 43°F (–6° to +6°C) but is again
between 26° and 38°F (–3° and +3°C).

settings be changed only when the car is
stationary. The driver’s attention can oth-
erwise easily be distracted from the road.

Tem p .Outside temperature
D.T.E.Estimated range (distance to
empty fuel tank)
Fuel ØAverage fuel consumption
since function last reset
Dist.Distance to destination/Trip
meter

temperatures of above 38°F (+3°C),
especially on bridges and stretches of
road that are sheltered from the sun.

CHECK messages When the engine is started, CHECKING will
appear on the display for about 4 seconds
while the SID CHECK functions are being
performed.
When a CHECK message is activated while
driving, a chime sounds and the message
appears in SID. The number of possible
CHECK messages varies depending on the
car’s specifications.
If more than one CHECK message has
been generated, the
+ symbol will appear to
the left of the text on the display. The mes-
sages appear in order of priority.
If a new fault occurs whilst another message
is being displayed, the message relating to
the new one will appear for 10 seconds,
after which the display will return to the ear-
lier one.
Briefly press the CLR button to acknowl-
edge a message from the display. After
acknowledgement, the message is dis-
played each time the ignition is re-started
until remedied.The following messages may be displayed:
1) This message will be displayed approximately
600 miles (1,000 km) before the next scheduled
service is due, or when 365 days have elapsed
since the last service. The message should be
cleared at the time of that service (see the Saab
Warranties & Service Record Booklet).
This message can also be deleted by first briefly
pressing the CLR button, then depressing it a
second time for at least eight seconds until

81 Instruments and controls
Temperature control The cabin is divided into two temperature
zones:
The driver’s zone
The passenger zone (front and rear
seats)
The desired temperature can be set
between 60 and 80°F.
The displayed temperature is not the abso-
lute temperature but corresponds to the
comfort level normally experienced at that
temperature after allowance has been
made for the air flow, relative humidity, solar
radiation, etc., currently prevailing inside
the car.
The most usual temperature setting is
64–76°F, depending on personal prefer-
ence and what clothing is worn.
To allow the system time to adjust,
changes in the temperature setting shall
only be made in steps of 2°F.
Once the desired climate has been
achieved, the rear center vents can be
closed to prevent warm air being distributed
at face height.
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.MAX heat, red indication
The HI setting is obtained by turning the
temperature control to the first position past
80 (to the red LED). The driver’s side selec-
tion regulates air distribution and recircula-
tion status. Temperature, however, can be
adjusted on the passenger side.
Settings when HI is selected:
Maximum heat
Air distribution to windshield and floor
Recirculation OFF (even if manually
selected before)
Fan: high speed
MAX cooling, blue indicator
The LO setting is obtained by turning the
temperature control to the first position past
60 (to the blue LED). The driver’s side selec-
tion regulates air distribution and recircula-
tion status. Temperature, however, can be
adjusted on the passenger side.
Settings when LO is selected:
Maximum cooling (A/C compressor will
run even if AC OFF manually selected
before)
Air distribution through panel vents
Fan: maximum speed
Recirculation ON
