2005 SATURN RELAY differential

ALL WHEEL DRIVE DISABLED
If your vehicle has the all-wheel drive system, this
message will display when there is a spare tire on the
vehicle, or when the anti-lock brake system warning light
comes on, or when the rear differential uid is
overheating. This message will turn off when the
differential uid cools.
The all-wheel drive system will be disabled until the
compact spare tire is replaced by a full-size tire. If the
warning message is still on after putting on the full-size
tire, you need to reset the warning message. To
reset the warning message, turn the ignition off and
then back on again. If the message stays on, see your
retailer right away. SeeAll-Wheel Drive (AWD)
System on page 4-11for more information.
BATTERY SAVER ACTIVE
This message will display when the system detects that
the battery voltage is dropping beyond a reasonable
level. The battery saver system will start reducing certain
features of the vehicle that you may be able to notice.
At the point that the features are disabled, this message
is displayed. It means that the vehicle is trying to
save the charge in the battery.

to recharge.The normal battery voltage range is 11.5 to 15.5 volts.
You can monitor the battery voltage by pressing the
information button until BATTERY displays.

message and to clear it from the screen.
This message will continue to display for two seconds if
it has not been acknowledged when the engine is
turned off. It will also re-display for two seconds if the
message has been acknowledged, but the condition still
exists when the engine is turned off.

often to check the lubricant and when to change it. See
Scheduled Maintenance on page 6-4.
How to Check Lubricant
To get an accurate reading, the vehicle should be on a
level surface.If the level is below the bottom of the ller plug hole,
located on the differential, you will need to add
some lubricant. Add enough lubricant to raise the level
to the bottom of the ller plug hole. A uid loss could
indicate a problem; check and have it repaired, if
needed.

kind of lubricant to use. SeeRecommended Fluids
