66 Instruments and controlsTemperature gauge The temperature gauge shows the temper-
ature of the coolant. The needle should be
in the middle of the scale when the engine
is at normal operating temperature.
If the needle approaches the red zone,
which can occur in very hot weather or when
the engine is under a heavy load, drive in the
highest gear possible, keep the engine revs
low and avoid shifting down.Check fuse 1 (radiator fan) in the fuse panel
under the hood, see page 218.
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 Saab Information Display (SID) will
display the message
”Coolant level low.
Refill.”.
NOTICEIf 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. Failure to heed this
warning may result in personal injury.

Pressure gaugeThe turbo gauge indicates the air volume for
combustion, which is equivalent to the
engine load.
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
limiting boost pressure, you should contact
a workshop immediately. We recommend
that you contact an authorized Saab work-
shop.When the speed of the car exceeds 130
mph (210 km/h) acceleration is limited by a
reduction in boost pressure. The turbo
gauge will move to the middle field, indicat-
ing a drop in engine output and conse-
quently a reduction in vehicle speed.
Selector lever indication3The display below the speedometer indi-
cates the position of the selector lever. If
manual mode is selected, the current gear
is displayed. When the sport function is
selected, SPORT is displayed.

Display (SID) The Saab Information Display (SID) shows
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).
WARNING
It is strongly recommended that the SID
settings be changed only when the car is
stationary. The driver’s attention can oth-
erwise easily be distracted from the road.
SID provides the following function:
Te m 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

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.

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 MAX heat setting is obtained by turning
the temperature control to the first position
past 80 (to the red LED). The driver’s side
selection regulates air distribution and recir-
culation status. Temperature, however, can
be adjusted on the passenger side.
Settings when MAX heat 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 MAX cooling setting is obtained by turn-
ing the temperature control to the first posi-
tion past 60 (to the blue LED). The driver’s
side selection regulates air distribution and
recirculation status. Temperature, however,
can be adjusted on the passenger side.
Settings when MAX cooling 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
