75 Instruments and controls
Back-Up
The back-up lights come on automatically
when reverse gear is engaged or selected
with the ignition switched on.
Rear fog light
Your Saab is equipped with one rear fog
light and this is located on the driver´s side
in the rear taillight housing.
Press the button to switch on the rear fog
light, which will only come on if the head-
lights or front fog lights are on.
The rear fog light will go off automatically
when the engine is switched off. When the
fog light is next needed, it will have to be
switched on manually again.
Make sure you are familiar with the appli-
cable provincial/state law regarding the
use of rear fog light.
Front fog lights
Press the button to switch on the fog lights
fitted in the front spoiler. These should be
used in poor visibility. They will only operate
on low beam and switch off automatically on
high beam.
Make sure you are familiar with the appli-
cable provincial/state law regarding the
use of fog lights.
WARNING
Switch on the hazard flashers if the car
has to be left at the roadside on account
of a crash, engine trouble or a puncture.
If you carry a warning triangle or flares,
they should be set up along the side of the
road 300 ft. (100 m) behind your vehicle.
If the car is not clearly visible (e.g. over
the brow of a hill or bridge), place the tri-
angle/flare even further back.
WARNING
In poor visibility, avoid following the tail
lights of the vehicle in front. If the vehicle
stops suddenly, you may be unable to
avoid a crash and therefore risk injury to
yourself and others.
