User manual SAAB 9-3X TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

[. . . ] Saab Automobile AB Saab Automobile AB does not accept liability for any damage caused by the fitting of spare parts, exchange parts or accessories that are not approved by Saab Automobile AB. Introduction This manual provides practical guidance on driving and caring for your Saab. The Saab 9-3 will be available with the following engine variants: · 2. 0t 175 hp · 2. 0 Turbo 210 hp Although this manual describes the most important differences between model variants, it does not specify the equipment or features included on individual models. Importation and distribution of Saab automobiles, spare parts and accessories are handled exclusively by Saab Cars, Inc. in the United States and by General Motors of Canada Limited in Canada. We recommend that you read through the manual before taking the car out for the first time and keep it in the car for future reference. [. . . ] Sometimes, gasoline can contain a number of additives containing oxygen. If fuel containing a mixture of alcohol is used, the maximum levels approved by Saab are: 5 % by volume of methanol; or 10 % by volume of ethanol. The most common type of ether used is MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether), of which fuel may contain a maximum of 15 % by volume. Refueling Gasoline fumes are highly explosive. Therefore: · never smoke while refueling · never use gasoline for any purpose other than as engine fuel · gasoline is extremely flammable and can cause severe burns. No open or exposed flames near gasoline · do not use a mobile phone at the same time as refueling Only use fuel from a well-known oil company. All Saab gasoline engines can be driven on gasoline with an octane rating between AON 87­93. The engine management system monitors the combustion and automatically adapts to the fuel used. Always use the correct grade of fuel: unleaded AON 87­93. Filler cap removed for refueling Starting and driving Filler cap The filler cap has a bayonet fitting. If the fuel filler cap is not on correctly, the following message is displayed on the SID: Tighten fuel filler cap. The most effective way to prevent condensation forming in the tank (and thus avoid possible running problems) is to keep the tank full. Refer to page 155 for information regarding gasoline anti-freeze. 129 NOTICE · Fill to maximum filling capacity. The symbol illuminates when less than approximately 2. 5 gallons (10 litres) of fuel remains in the tank. Use regular unleaded gasoline rated at 87 octane or higher. Use of gasoline with an octane rating lower than 87 can result in severe engine damage. Damage caused by incorrect fuel being used is not covered under the terms of the New Car Warranty and will be the responsibility of the owner. It is recommended that the gasoline meet specifications which were developed by the American Automobile Manufacturers Association (AAMA) and endorsed by the Canadian Motor Vehicle Manufacturers Association for better vehicle performance and engine protection. Gasolines meeting the AAMA specification could provide improved driveability and emission control system performance compared to other gasolines. In Canada, look for the "Auto Makers' Choice" label on the fuel pump. Be sure the posted octane is at least 87. If the octane is less than 87, you may get a heavy knocking noise when you drive. If you're using fuel rated at 87 octane or higher and you hear heavy knocking, your engine needs service. But don't worry if you hear a little pinging noise when you're accelerating or driving up a hill. That's normal, and you don't have to buy a higher octane fuel to get rid of pinging. It's the heavy, constant knock that means you have a problem. 132 Starting and driving Some gasolines that are not reformulated for low emissions may contain an octaneenhancing additive called methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl (MMT); ask your service station operator whether or not the fuel contains MMT. If fuels containing MMT are used, spark plug life may be reduced and your emission control system performance may be affected.
