The odometer and tripmeter is temporarily
turned off when a two row message is dis-
played. The icon is displayed in the left part
of the display.
The warnings and indications that can be
shown on the SID are listed on page 294.
If there is more than one message on the
SID, a plus sign will be displayed to the left
of the first message. Each message will be
displayed for 10 seconds.

message. If you acknowledge a message
but do nothing about it, the message will be
displayed again the next time you start the
car.
When the engine is switched off the warn-
ing/indicator lights still active are displayed,
this is to remind the driver. At this point the
warning/indicator lights previously acknowl-
edged with the CLR button are also dis-
played.
You can adjust the settings of several of the
car’s systems, such as the alarm3, rain
sensor3 and climate control system. These
are known as Settings se page 94.

Next Service: xx%
The SID includes two mutually inde-
pendent counters, one for the main
service and one for the intermediate
service. When a service is carried out,
e.g. intermediate service, the counter is
reset for the intermediate service. The
counter for the other service type, main
service, continues unaffected. This
means that once a service has been
carried out, the counter may show e.g.
47% even though a service has just
been carried out. The percentage
refers, then, to the other service type.
MAIN
Main services are carried out at specific
meter settings. This interval varies
depending on market and engine var-
iant. Contact a workshop for more infor-
mation. We recommend that you con-
tact an authorised Saab workshop.INTERMEDIATE
The intermediate service, on the other
hand, is carried out depending on the
number of cold starts and the climate
conditions in which the car is driven, for
example. This is why the interval for
this type of service varies.
MAIN & INTERMED
A combined service is carried out when
the counters of both service types are
close to one another.
Time for Service.
A service indication must only be reset
after the service has been performed.
TCS/ESP
Select whether the system shall be on
or off. The car has either TCS or ESP.
