58 Instruments and controls
Indicator and warning
lights
A number of indicator and warning lights will
come on when the ignition is switched on
prior to starting. Under normal conditions,
these should go out a few seconds after the
engine has started (see page 64).
Service Engine Light also
known as CHECK ENGINE
WARNING
An illuminated ”Service Engine Light also
known as CHECK ENGINE” indicator
light indicates an engine-related problem.
While your car may be able to be driven
with the ”Service Engine Light also known
as CHECK ENGINE” indicator light illumi-
nated (Limp-home mode), you are
advised to have your car serviced at an
authorized Saab dealer as soon as possi-
ble.
Continued driving without this problem
being corrected might cause serious fur-
ther damage to your car and create
unsafe driving conditions. The driver
should be prepared to take action if such
unsafe conditions arise (e.g.brake
smoothly, engage neutral, stop in a suita-
ble place, switch off the engine, etc.).
