Starting and driving 151 Parking brake The parking brake lever is located between the front seats. The brake acts on the rear wheels. When the parking brake is on, the indicator lamp on the main instrument panel will be lit. To release the brake, lift the lever slightly, press the pawl button, and let the lever down. Always apply the parking brake when you park. Parking WARNING • Park where the vehicle will not create an obstruction or a hazard to other road users. • Do not park on dry grass or other combustible material. The catalytic converter gets very hot and could start a fire. • Do not leave children or pets unattended in the car. In warm, sunny weather, the temperature inside the car can reach 160-180°F (70-80°C). NOTE Saab 9-3 Viggen: The body design together with the relatively low ground clearance of the car means that great care must be taken during parking to avoid damage to the under part of the bumper. NOTE • Apply the parking brake. • Shift into Reverse for manual transmission; for automatic transmission: move selector lever to P (Park)), and remove the ignition key. • Lock the car. IB982 IB1269
