Instruments and controls
This light will show when the parking brake
is on (see page 165).
The parking brake is mechanical and oper-
ates on the rear wheels.
This light will come on if a fault has occurred
in the ABS system.
On certain variants
and
can light
up to indicate a fault in the electronic brake
force distribution system (distribution of the
brake pressure between the front and rear
wheels).
Conventional braking without the ABS func-
tion will still be available.
For safety reasons, stop the car and check
the level of the brake fluid (see page 196).
If the level is normal, depress the brake
pedal firmly two or three times. Now check
the level again. If the level is still normal, you
may drive the car, with considerable cau-
tion, to the nearest authorized Saab dealer
to have the brake system checked.
This light indicates that the headlights or the
parking lights are on.
