62 Instruments and controls Indicator, cruise control This light shows when the cruise-control system is active (see page 161). Indicator, open door If a door has not been closed properly, the pictogram will indicate the door concerned (or tailgate). Automatic transmission 1, fault indicator On a car with an automatic transmission, this warning symbol is illuminated if a fault has been detected in the transmission. Switch the ignition off and on again to check if the fault persists. Even if the fault persists, it is still possible in most cases to drive the car (see page 156). Have the automatic transmission checked by an authorized Saab dealer as soon as possible. Indicator, high beam This light shows when the headlights are on high beam (see page 73). Indicator, SPORT-mode automatic transmission 1 This light will come on in cars with automatic transmission when the S (SPORT) button on the selector lever has been pressed (position N or D) see page 160. In this mode, the gear changes occur later, at higher engine revs, giving the engine and transmission a sportier feel. To cancel the SPORT mode, press the S button on the selector lever again. The mode is also deselected automatically when the selector lever is moved to P, R, M or L, or when the ignition is switched off. Indicator, rear fog light This light shows when the rear fog light is on (see page 74). The rear fog light is switched off automatically when the engine is switched off. When the fog light is next needed, it will have to be switched on manually again. The rear fog light consists of one light so it should not be mistaken for brake lights. NOTICE If the control module has actuated the Limp-home function for the automatic transmission, the car will remain in 5th gear when D is selected, making it very sluggish. To overcome this, select position L to prevent unnecessary wear on the transmission. The transmission then starts in 2nd gear. When the car is moving you can select position D. When the indicator light is on, the car must not be driven with a trailer attached.
