not operate, inspect the corresponding fuse. If a fuse
has blown, replace it.

turn off all electrical accessories.

of each fuse box cover and the “Fuses and circuits”
section in chapter 12 in this manual show the circuit for
each fuse.

Main fuseMain fuse boxThe main fuses are designed to melt during an over-
load to prevent damage to the wiring harness and
electrical equipment. Check the main fuses if any elec-
trical component fails to operate (except the starter
motor) and other fuses are good. A melted main fuse
must be replaced. Use only replacements with the
same specified rating as the melted main fuse. If a
main fuse blows after it is replaced, have the electrical
system checked by your nearest Saab dealer.
Installation of accessoriesAlways consult your Saab dealer before installing fog
lights or any other electrical equipment in your vehicle.
Such accessories may cause the electronic system to
malfunction if they are incorrectly installed or if they
are not suited for the vehicle.

"HID headlight bulbs (optional on cer-
tain U.S. models)High-intensity-discharge (HID) bulbs are used
for the low beams of the headlights. These HID
bulbs use an extremely high voltage. To avoid
the risk of an electric shock and resulting seri-
ous injury, you should not attempt to replace
them. Neither should you attempt to replace the
high-beam bulbs, remove/refit the headlight as-
semblies, or remove any headlight-assembly
components. For replacement of the headlight
bulbs (low-beam and high-beam), removal and
installation of the headlight assemblies, and re-
moval of headlight-assembly components,
contact your Saab dealer.
Ask your Saab dealer to check whether your ve-hicle is equipped with HID headlights. Wattage Bulb No.

"Halogen headlight bulbs (U.S./CA-
models equipped with HID low beam
bulbs)Halogen headlight bulbs become very hot while
in use. If you touch the bulb surface with bare
hands or greasy gloves, finger prints or grease
on the bulb surface will develop into hot spots
and cause the bulb to break. If there are finger
prints or grease on the bulb surface, wipe them
away with a soft cloth moistened with alcohol.
Ask your Saab dealer to check whether your ve-hicle is equipped with HID headlights.NOTE!If headlight aiming is required, consult your
Saab dealer for proper adjustment of the headlight
aim.
!It may be difficult to replace the bulbs. Have
your Saab dealer replace the bulbs if necessary.!Right hand low beam light bulb
