Instruments and controls
This light shows when the high beam is on
(see page 103).
This light indicates when the front fog lights
are on (see page 104).
The front fog lights are switched off auto-
matically when the engine is switched off.
When the fog lights are next needed, they
will have to be switched on manually.
This light should come on briefly when you
turn the ignition key to ON. If it doesn´t come
on, have it fixed so it will be ready to warn
you if there is a problem. This light indicates
when the brake fluid level is too low (see
page 224).
The following message is shown on the
Saab Information Display (SID):
For safety reasons, stop the car and check
the level of the brake fluid (see page 224).
If the level is normal, depress the brake
pedal firmly two or three times. Now check
the level again. If the level is still normal, you

optimum braking performance irrespective
of the car’s load.
