Instruments and controls Under certain barometric conditions the needle may enter the first part of the red zone without necessarily indicating that a fault has arisen. If the needle repeatedly enters the red zone and the engine at the same time loses power, because the monitoring system is holding the charging pressure down, you should contact an authorized Saab dealer. If the speed exceeds 143 mph (230 km/h), the increase in speed will be limited by the lowering of the boost pressure. The pressure gauge then moves towards the middle of the orange zone, indicating reduced engine output and thus reduces the speed of the car as well. 61 Fuel gauge The fuel-tank capacity is 17.0 gal. (64 liters). The fuel gauge shows the amount of fuel left in the tank. When this is down to about 2.5 gal. (10 liters), a warning light on the main instrument panel will come on (see page 56). Use the Saab Information display (SID) to check the approximate distance that can be travelled on the remaining fuel (see page 62). Refueling; see page 138. Gear selector indication (cars with automatic transmission) An indicator showing which gear is selected is situated in the main instrument panel. IB1280 IB345
