164 Starting and driving Turning the TCS off The TCS is switched on automatically when the engine is started. You can switch the system off manually with the TCS button, whereupon the light under the speedometer will come on. The TCS cannot be switched off if the car is travelling faster than 35 mph (60 km/h). It may be necessary to switch off the system if the car has become bogged down, for instance. Press TCS to switch it on again. If a fault is detected in the ABS, the TCS will be switched off automatically. The following message is shown on the SID: Traction control failure. Contact Saab dealer. The cruise control system (if active) will automatically be disengaged if the TCS is operative. TCS button TCS indicator When the remote control is turned to the ON position, the lamp is lit for about 4 seconds while the system performs self-diagnosis. The light under the speedometer comes on when the TCS is operative, that is when one of the wheels has lost its grip. The fact that the TCS is operative indicates that the limit for grip has been exceeded and that the driver must exercise greater care.
