Care of Safety Belts
Keep belts clean and dry.
{
CAUTION:
Do not bleach or dye safety belts. If you do,
it may severely weaken them. In a crash,
they might not be able to provide adequate
protection. Clean safety belts only with mild
soap and lukewarm water.
Weatherstrips
Silicone grease on weatherstrips will make them last
longer, seal better, and not stick or squeak. Apply
silicone grease with a clean cloth. During very cold,
damp weather frequent application may be required.
See Recommended Fluids and Lubricants on page 6-12.
Washing Your Vehicle
The paint finish on the vehicle provides beauty, depth of
color, gloss retention, and durability.
The best way to preserve the vehicle’s finish is to keep it
clean by washing it often with lukewarm or cold water.
Do not wash the vehicle in the direct rays of the sun. Use
a car washing soap. Do not use strong soaps or chemical
detergents. Be sure to rinse the vehicle well, removing all
soap residue completely. Approved cleaning products
can be obtained from your Saab dealer. See Vehicle
Care/Appearance Materials on page 5-96. Do not use
cleaning agents that are petroleum based, or that contain
acid or abrasives. All cleaning agents should be flushed
promptly and not allowed to dry on the surface, or they
could stain. Dry the finish with a soft, clean chamois or
an all-cotton towel to avoid surface scratches and water
spotting.
High pressure car washes may cause water to enter
the vehicle.
