Introduction

This manual provides practical guidance on

driving and caring for your Saab.

Although this manual describes the most

important differences between model vari-

ants, it does not include precise specifica-

tions of the different variants. Some differ-

ences also occur to meet special legal

requirements in different countries.

Importation and distribution of Saab auto-

mobiles, spare parts and accessories are

handled exclusively by General Motors of

Canada Limited in Canada and by Saab

given at the beginning of each section of the

manual, and there is also a comprehensive

Supplied with the car is a Warranty and Ser-

vice Record booklet and a tire warranty

folder which specifies the regular mainte-

nance to be carried out. The book also con-

tains important warranty conditions.

Since the policy at Saab is one of continual

improvement, we retain the right to incorpo-

rate modifications and to alter specifications

during production without prior notice.

Asterisk means: equipment not fitted in all

cars (can depend on model variant, engine

variant, market specification, options or

accessories).

If you have any questions concerning your

car, its equipment, the warranty conditions

or the like, your Saab dealer will be pleased

to help.
