50 Instruments and controls Fault indicator, automatic transmission 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 to drive the car (see page 140). Have the automatic transmission checked by an authorized Saab dealer as soon as possible. Indicator, SPORT-mode This light will come on in cars with automatic transmission when the S (SPORT) button on the selector lever has been pressed (position D, 3, 2 or 1) see page 144. 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 or R. Indicator, WINTER-mode This light shows when the WINTER mode has been selected in cars with automatic transmission (see page 144). In the WINTER mode, the car pulls away in 3rd gear, to help prevent wheelspin on an icy road. To cancel the WINTER mode, press the W button. NOTE If the control module has actuated the Limp-home function for the automatic transmission, the car will remain in 4th gear when D is selected, making it very sluggish. To overcome this, move the selector lever to position 2. When the indicator light is on, the car must not be driven with a trailer attached.
