Saab 2008 9-3 - Manual (Page 98)

98 Instruments and controls
The parking lights can be turned on irre-
spective of the position of the ignition
switch. If the parking lights are on and the
driver’s door is opened, a reminder to turn
them off will sound.
Do not use the parking lights alone while
driving.
When the switch is in the position, there
is no automatic shift between low beam and
DRL.
When it is time to turn on low beam the fol-
lowing message appears in SID:
Low beam headlights are turned on when
the ignition switch is turned to ON and
turned off when the switch is turned back to
LOCK.
If the switch is in the position, there is
no automatic switch between DRL and low
beam. Low beam comes on when the igni-
tion switch is in the ON position.
Headlight levelling 3 3 3 3
Cars with xenon headlights are equipped
with an automatic headlight levelling sys-
tem, which self-calibrates each time the
vehicle is started.
If a fault arises in the automatic headlight
levelling system, the headlights will be
angled down to avoid dazzling drivers in
oncoming traffic. Adjust your speed accord-
ingly as the range of the headlights will be
reduced. Check fuse 20 in the engine bay
fuse box (see page 242).
A fault in the system will produce the follow-
ing message on the Saab Information Dis-
play (SID):
Special equipment is required for adjusting
the basic headlight alignment.
