Maintenance schedule

The scheduled maintenance items re-

quired to be serviced at regular intervals

vice Record Booklet”.

For details of your maintenance schedule,

read the separate “Saab Warranty and

Maintenance precautions

When maintenance and service are re-

quired, it is recommended that all work be

done by an authorized Saab dealer.

If you perform maintenance and service

by yourself, you should familiarize your-

self with the information provided in this

section on general maintenance and ser-

vice for your Saab.

Incorrect or incomplete service could

cause improper or unsafe vehicle opera-

tion. Any problems caused by improper

maintenance and service performed by

you are not eligible for warranty coverage.

— Testing of an All-Wheel Drive ve-

hicle must NEVER be performed

on a single two-wheel dynamome-

ter or similar apparatus. Attempt-

ing to do so will result in transmis-

sion damage and in uncontrolled

vehicle movement and may cause

an accident or injuries to persons

nearby.

— Always select a safe area when

performing maintenance on your

vehicle.

— Always be very careful to avoid in-

jury when working on the vehicle.

Remember that some of the mate-

rials in the vehicle may be hazard-

ous if improperly used or handled,

for example, battery acid.

— Your vehicle should only be ser-

viced by persons fully competent

to do so. Serious personal injury

may result to persons not experi-

enced in servicing vehicles.

— Always use the proper tools and

make certain that they are well

maintained.

— Never get under the vehicle sup-

ported only by a jack. Always use

a safety stands to support the ve-

hicle.

— Never keep the engine running in

a poorly ventilated area, such as a

garage or other closed areas.

— Do not smoke or allow open

flames around the fuel or battery.

This will cause a fire.

— Because the fuel system is under

pressure, replacement of the fuel

filter should be performed only by

your Saab dealer.
