If any brake fluid is spilled, the area should be flushed with large quantities of water as quickly as possible. Brake pads should only be changed at a workshop. We recommend that you contact a Saab dealer. WARNING Power steering fluid on hot engine components constitutes a fire risk. Check the level of the power steering fluid in the reservoir regularly, in accordance with the service program. The wheels should point directly forwards during this check. Clean round the cap before unscrewing it. Wipe the dipstick. To check the level, screw down the cap completely and then remove it again. The oil level should lie between the MAX and MIN marks when the oil temperature is about 68°F (+20°C). If the oil is colder, the level will be lower, and at a higher temperatures the level will be higher. Top up with CHF 11S or CHF 202 power steering fluid.
