68 Instruments and controls CHECK messages When the engine is started, CHECKING will appear on the display for about four seconds, while the SID checks are being performed. When a CHECK message is generated while the car is being driven, a chime will sound, INFO DISPL will illuminate on the main instrument panel, and the message will appear on the SID. The number of messages that can be displayed by the SID varies with the specification of the car. If more than one CHECK message has been generated, the + symbol will appear to the left of the text on the display. The messages appear in order of priority. If a new fault occurs while another message is being displayed, the message relating to the new one will appear for 10 seconds, after which the display will return to the earlier one. Press CLR once to acknowledge a message, whereupon it will be cleared from the display. It will not be displayed again before the ignition has been switched off and then on again. The following CHECK messages may be displayed: Display shows: TEST BRAKE LIGHTS 1) BRAKE LIGHT FAILURE FRONT LIGHT FAILURE REAR LIGHT FAILURE FOG LIGHT FAILURE WASHER FLUID LEVEL LOW TIGHTEN FUEL FILLER CAP FILL COOLANT FLUID KEY NOT ACCEPTED REPLACE KEY BATTERY SERVICE THEFT ALARM TRANSMISSION OVERHEATING TIME FOR SERVICE 2) See page 183 183 181 183 184 180 138 174 39 39 39 144 212 Resetting values To reset the values, press CLR for at least four seconds.

Press the brake pedal to clear. 2 This message will be displayed approximately 600 miles (1,000 km) before the next scheduled service is due, or when 365 days have elapsed since the last service. The message should be cleared at the time of that service (see the Saab Warranties & Service Record Booklet). If you have carried out the service yourself, you can clear the message by pressing CLR once. Reset by pressing CLR for at least eight seconds, until "SERVICE" appears on the display and a chime sounds.
