WasherThe reservoir holds 5 quarts (4.7 litres).
When the SID message "WASHER FLUID
LEVEL LOW" appears there is about
1.5 quarts (1.4 litres) left.
Fill with quality washer fluid, available from
your Saab dealer and follow the instructions
on the package to reduce the risk of freez-
ing.
Note: If the reservoir is run dry and the car
has a rear-window wiper, then after refilling
you cannot wash the rear window until you
have first washed the windscreen.
Washer jetsThe washer jets, which are adjustable, can
be cleaned with a pin if necessary.
The jet for rear-window washing is located
in the right-hand part of the high-mounted
brake light.
