Switches
Daytime running lights
The parking lights and daytime running
lights come on automatically when the igni-
tion switch is ON.
Note to owners in the U.S.: If you do not
want Daytime Running Lights, this feature
can be disconnected: switch off the engine
and remove fuse No. 35 (see page 194).
Note to owners in Canada: Daytime Run-
ning Lights must not be disconnected as
they are a Canadian Federal legal require-
ment.
Parking lights
The parking lights can be switched on
regardless of the position of the ignition
switch.
Note:
The lighting switch must be in parking or
headlight position (low beam position only)
to operate the fog lights (see page 63).
Headlights
The headlights come on automatically when
the ignition is ON and go off when the igni-
tion switch is turned to the LOCK position.
The parking lights, however, can be on
when the ignition switch is in the LOCK posi-
tion.
High/low beam
To switch between high and low beam, lift
the control stalk fully towards you
(position 2). When the high beam is on, the
indicator on the main instrument panel will
be illuminated.
High beam flasher
The headlights come on to high beam when
the stalk is lifted to the first spring-loaded
position (position 1) and remain on until the
stalk is released.
Courtesy Headlamp Feature
A delay function allows the headlights to
remain on low beam for about 30 seconds
after the driver’s door has been closed.
To activate this function, switch off the igni-
tion and remove the key. Then, open the
driver’s door and lift the high/low beam con-
trol stalk fully to its second position. The low
beam headlights will come on after the
driver’s door has been closed and will
remain on for about 30 seconds. The length
of time for this function can be adjusted by
your authorized Saab dealer.
