User manual SAAB 9-5 ESTATE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

[. . . ] The specifications, design particulars and illustrations included in the manual are not binding. Introduction This manual provides practical guidance on driving and caring for your Saab. The Saab 9-5 is available with the following engine variants: · 2. 3t Ecopower. Although the manual describes the most important differences between model variants, it does not include precise specifications of the different variants. Some differences also occur to meet special legal requirements in different countries. [. . . ] See also page 32. LOC K OFF O N ST ON position All electrical circuits working. Do not leave the key in the ON position when the engine is not running. In the ON position certain warning and indicator lights come on as a check, and they normally are extinguished after about 3 seconds. OFF O ST (starter) position The starter operates when the key is turned to this position. If the engine fails to start, the key must first be turned back to the position between OFF and LOCK before the starter can be operated again. When the starter motor is running, several electrical circuits are disconnected to facilitate starting.

If dirt or liquid gets into it, the switch may not operate properly. the factory and will not need any subsequent adjustment. WARNING · Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, poisonous gas. Be alert to the danger of CO ­ always open the garage doors before starting the engine in the garage. · There is also a danger of CO poisoning if the exhaust system is leaking. Wait 20-30 seconds before running the starter again, to give the battery time to recover. Avoid racing the engine or putting a heavy load on it before it has warmed up. Drive away as soon as the oil warning light has been extinguished to enable the engine to attain its normal temperature as quickly as possible. 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. 1 Starting and driving · Refrain from using full throttle before the engine has warmed up (before needle in mid-range on temperature gauge). · A safety function prevents the engine from revving faster than 6, 000 rpm by limiting the induction air. 2 Stopping the engine · Do not rev the engine immediately before switching it off - stop the engine when it is idling. 3 Regulating the boost pressure · The system is optimized for fuel with an octane rating of AON 90. One of the Starting and driving advantages of the system is that it enables the engine to be run safely on lower-grade fuel, although not lower than AON 87. · The maximum boost pressure is adjusted automatically to the knocking or pinging tendency of the engine. Occasional, short-lived knocking when the engine is under a heavy load is perfectly normal; the extent will depend on the grade of fuel in the tank. · Isolated instances of knocking are more likely to occur with low-octane fuel. This controlled form of knocking, followed by a reduction in the boost pressure, is a sign that the wastegate is functioning and is perfectly safe for the engine. 133 WARNING If the engine is being run with the car on a rolling road or dynamometer, to ensure adequate cooling, air must be blown into the engine compartment and under the car at a rate equivalent to the ram-air effect that would be obtained at the corresponding road speed. 1 2 3 Oxygen-sensor-controlled injection system 1 Engine control module 2 Oxygen sensor (lambda probe) 3 Catalytic converter NOTE If constant knocking occurs every time a load is put on the engine, this indicates a malfunction in the system. Have the car checked without delay by an authorized Saab dealer. Important considerations with catalytic converters NOTE Use only unleaded gasoline. [. . . ] Car alarm/central locking system: · The sound level of the siren when locking/ unlocking, HIGH or LOW. · Automatic locking of the trunk when the car is driven, 1 to 8 mph (2-14 km/h), YES or NO. · Preclude the unlocking of the trunk while the car is driven, YES or NO. · Automatic locking of the trunk after 1 second-4 minutes if it has not been opened, YES or NO.
