Since the policy at Saab is one of continual improvement, we retain the right to incorporate modifications and to alter specifications during production without prior notice. If you have any questions concerning your car, its equipment, the warranty conditions or the like, your Saab dealer will be pleased to help. Best wishes, 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. [. . . ] Do not open the throttle wide for at least 2­ 3 minutes after starting. Cars with automatic transmission 1 The selector lever must be in the P or N position. Let the ignition key spring back as soon as the engine has started and is running smoothly ­ at very low temperatures, you may need to run the starter for up to 25 seconds. Wait 20­30 seconds before running the starter again, to give the battery time to recover. Do not open the throttle wide for at least 2­3 minutes after starting. · The tail pipe of the exhaust system can become very hot during driving. · Do not rest or sleep in the car when parked with the engine running. There is a risk of depressing the accelerator which could lead to engine damage. It is possible for air to enter the lubricating system in conjunction with an oil or oil-filter change, or if the car has been stored for some time. This air can cause the hydraulic cam followers to emit a ticking noise, which can persist for up to 15 minutes after starting. Although this is quite normal and does not indicate any malfunction, it is advisable not to exceed 3, 000 rpm before the noise has disappeared. The hydraulic cam lifters are completely service free; the valve clearance is set up at the factory and will not need any subsequent adjustment. Useful tips on cold climate starting If the engine has failed to start after several attempts in very cold weather, press and hold the accelerator down to the floor and run the starter for 5­10 seconds. This will prevent the engine being flooded (excessively rich fuel-air mixture). Now start the engine in the normal way ­ do not touch the accelerator. if the clutch was released too quickly), do not touch the accelerator when restarting the engine. Starting and driving Limp-home mode The engine management system has a diagnostic feature that continually checks a number of internal functions. If, for example, a fault is detected in the throttle valve, the engine management system will go into Limp-home mode. This limits idling control, disables the cruise-control system and limits the capacity of the A/C compressor. If the limp-home mode is in operation ("Engine malfunction (CHECK ENGINE)" light on, see below) and the outside temperature is close to or below freezing, you may need to use some throttle on starting (some pressure on the accelerator). If the diagnostic system has detected a fault in the engine-management system, the "Engine malfunction (CHECK ENGINE)" light on the main instrument panel will come on (see page 57), indicating that you should have the car checked as soon as possible by an authorized Saab dealer. 151 NOTICE If the CHECK ENGINE warning light starts to flash, ease off the accelerator slightly. If the light does not cease to flash within 5 seconds, stop the car in a suitable place as soon as possible and turn off the engine. If the CHECK ENGINE warning light flashes, it indicates that the engine is misfiring which can result in damage to the catalytic converter. Important considerations for driving The engine-management system in the Saab 9-5 is called Saab Trionic T7. The system manages the ignition, fuel injection and turbo boost pressure. The Trionic T7 system developed by Saab is an intelligent engine-management system designed to achieve optimum drivability under differing driving conditions. The system makes adjustments automatically, for instance, if the car is being driven at altitude (oxygen-deficient air), for different grades of fuel (AON 87­93) and for different load conditions.
