Instruments and controls CHECK messages When the engine is started, CHECKING will appear on the display for about four seconds, while the SID checks are being performed. When a CHECK message is generated while the car is being driven, a chime will sound, INFO DISPL will illuminate on the main instrument panel, and the message will appear on the SID. The number of messages that can be displayed by the SID varies with the specification of the car. If more than one CHECK message has been generated, the + symbol will appear to the left of the text on the display. The messages appear in order of priority. If a new fault occurs while another message is being displayed, the message relating to the new one will appear for 10 seconds, after which the display will return to the earlier one. Press CLEAR once to acknowledge a message, whereupon it will be cleared from the display. It will not be displayed again before the ignition has been switched off and then on again. The following messages may be displayed: Message FRONT LIGHT FAILURE REAR LIGHT FAILURE FOG LIGHT FAILURE BRAKE LIGHT FAILURE WASHER FLUID LEVEL LOW FILL COOLANT FLUID REPLACE KEY BATTERY KEY NOT ACCEPTED SERVICE THEFT ALARM TRANSMISSION OVERHEATING TIGHTEN FUEL FILLER CAP TIME FOR SERVICE 1) 63 Night panel To improve night-driving conditions inside the car, the Night Panel mode can be selected. In this mode, the amount of information displayed is reduced, and only the most important instruments and displays will be illuminated. When the Night Panel button is pressed, only the speedometer will be illuminated (up to the 87-mph or 140-km/h graduation), all the other instruments illumination being extinguished and their needles moved to zero. Both the SID and the ACC displays will be extinguished and the backlighting for switches and other controls will be dimmed. Note: All indicator and warning lights, together with the display of CHECK messages, will operate as normal, except "Outdoor temperature (Frost warning)", see page 60. See page 205 209 209 209 203 196 40 47 47 160 152 244 1 This message will be displayed approximately 600 miles (1,000 km) before the next scheduled service is due, or when 365 days have elapsed since the last service. The message should be cleared at the time of that service (see the Saab Warranties & Service Record Booklet). This message can also be deleted by first briefly pressing the CLEAR button, then depressing it a second time for at least eight seconds until "SERVICE" appears on the display and a chime sounds. The message can only be deleted when it is shown on the SID.
