gine has started.
This light comes on when All-Wheel Drive
is disengaged and the drive mechanism is
switched to Front Wheel Drive for mainte-
nance or similar purposes (Non-turbo ve-
hicles).
It flashes if the vehicle is driven with tires
of differing diameters fitted on the wheels
or with an excessively low air pressure in
any of the tires.

cator (AT vehicles)This indicator shows the position of the
selector lever.
Turn signal indicator
lightsThese lights show the operation of the
turn signal or lane change signal.

whether any of the tires has an ex-
cessively low inflation pressure.

Illumination brightness con-trolWhen the headlight switch is in the
“ ” or “ ” position, you can ad-
just brightness of the instrument panel illu-
mination for better visibility.

headlight switch in either the OFF position
or the “ ” or “ ” position.
Headlight beam leveler (Cars with HID headlights only)On cars so equipped, the low beam head-
lights are the High-Intensity Discharge
type. The HID headlights generate more
light than conventional halogen head-
lights. Therefore a driver of an oncoming
vehicle may experience too much glare
when your headlight beam height adjust-
ment is high due to the vehicle carrying
heavy load.
The headlight beam leveler can be used
to adjust beam height to avoid such a con-
dition.
The higher the number the knob is turned
to, the lower the beam becomes. For a

NOTE
If headlight aiming is required, con-
sult your Saab dealer for proper adjust-
ment of the headlight aim.

It may be difficult to replace the
bulbs. Have your Saab dealer replace
the bulbs if necessary.

Turbo model
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 result-
ing serious injury, you should not
attempt to replace them. Neither
should you attempt to replace the
high-beam bulbs, remove/refit the
headlight assemblies, or remove
any headlight-assembly compo-
nents. For replacement of the head-
light bulbs (low-beam and high-
beam), removal and installation of
the headlight assemblies, and re-
moval of headlight-assembly com-
ponents, contact your Saab dealer.
Ask your Saab dealer to check
whether your vehicle is equipped
with HID headlights.
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 de-
velop 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 vehicle is equipped
with halogen headlights.
