Instruments and controls

¢ AT OIL TEMPerature

warning light (AT vehi-

cles)

The AT oil temperature warning light

comes on when the ignition switch is

turned to the “ON” position and goes out

after approximately two seconds.

If this light comes on when the engine is

running, it may indicate that the automatic

transmission fluid temperature is too hot.

If the light comes on while driving, it is un-

necessary to stop the vehicle, but avoid

driving up steep grades or in stop and go

traffic.

q Automatic transmission control

system warning

If the light flashes after the engine starts,

it may indicate that the automatic trans-

mission control system is not working

properly. Contact your nearest Saab deal-

er for service immediately.

¢ ABS warning light

The ABS warning light comes on when the

ignition switch is turned to the “ON” posi-

tion and goes out after approximately two

seconds.

This is an indication that the ABS system

is working properly.

With a vehicle equipped with an Electronic

Brake Force Distribution (EBD) system,

the ABS warning light comes on together

with the brake system warning light if the

EBD system becomes faulty. For further

details of the EBD system fault warning,

refer to “Brake system warning light”.

NOTE

If the warning light behavior is as de-

scribed in the following, the ABS sys-

tem may be considered normal.

— The warning light comes on right af-

ter the engine is started but goes out

immediately, remaining off.

— The warning light remains on after

the engine has been started, but it goes

out when the vehicle speed reaches

approximately 8 mph (12 km/h).

— The warning light comes on during

driving, but it goes out immediately

and remains off.

When driving with an insufficient battery

voltage such as when the engine is jump

started, the ABS warning light may come

on. This is due to the low battery voltage

and does not indicate a malfunction.

Do not operate the engine with the

oil pressure warning light on. This

may cause serious engine damage.

When the warning light is on, the

ABS function shuts down; however,

the conentional brake system con-

tinues to operate normally.
If the warning light behaves as fol-

lows, the ABS system may not work

properly.
— The warning light does not come

on when the ignition switch is

turned to the “ON” position.

— The warning light comes on when

the ignition switch is turned to the

“ON” position, but it does not go

out even when the vehicle speed

exceeds approximately 8 mph (12

km/h).

— The warning light comes on dur-

ing driving.

(U.S.)
(Canada)

If any of these conditions occur,

have the ABS system repaired at the

first available opportunity by your

Saab dealer.
