176 Starting and driving Temporary override of Park Brake Shift Lock • The car may feel weak but can be driven carefully to a workshop to have the problem rectified. • Drivability may barely be affected. Irrespective of the drivability of the car, the car must be taken to a workshop to have the problem checked and rectified. NOTICE Due to electrical problems it may not be possible to move the selector lever out of the park position, even if the ignition is ON. If for some reason the selector lever has to be moved out of the park position (i.e. to tow the car a short distance) do as described below. 1 Apply the parking brake. 2 Lift up the rubber mat in the storage compartment ahead of the selector lever. 3 Under the floor of the storage compartment is a yellow plastic lever. Use a thin tool, such as a screwdriver, to press and hold the plastic lever while moving the selector lever from P to N. 4 Remove the tool. 5 Release the parking brake if the car is to be moved immediately, otherwise it should remain on. Check fuse 6 in the engine bay fuse box. If the fuse is OK the battery may be dead. Contact a workshop to have the problem checked and rectified. We recommend that you contact a Saab dealer.
