Saab 9-7X Automobile User Manual


 
STABILITRAK OFF
This message displays when you press the StabiliTrak
button for more than five seconds or when stability
control has been automatically disabled. The StabiliTrak
button is located on the transmission shift handle.
To limit wheel spin and realize the full benefits of the
stability enhancement system, you should normally
leave StabiliTrak on. However, you should turn
StabiliTrak off if your vehicle gets stuck in sand, mud,
ice, or snow and you want to rock your vehicle to
attempt to free it, or if you are driving in extreme off-road
conditions and require more wheel spin. See If Your
Vehicle is Stuck in Sand, Mud, Ice, or Snow on
page 4-20. To turn the StabiliTrak system back on,
press the StabiliTrak button again.
The message may display if the brake system warning light
is on. See Brake System Warning Light on page 3-31.
The message turns off as soon as the conditions that
caused the message to be displayed are no longer
present.
TIGHTEN FUEL CAP
This message may display and a chime may sound if
the vehicle’s fuel cap is not tightened properly. Fully
reinstall the fuel cap. See Filling the Tank on page 5-8.
The diagnostic system can determine if the fuel cap has
been left off or improperly installed. A loose or missing
fuel cap allows fuel to evaporate into the atmosphere.
This message remains on until it is manually cleared
from the DIC display. The DIC message is also
cancelled if the ignition is turned off.
The DIC message and the Service Engine Soon light
may come on again during a second trip if the fuel cap is
still not tightened properly. See Malfunction Indicator
Lamp on page 3-34 for more information.
TRACTION CONTROL OFF
This message displays when you momentarily press
the StabiliTrak button located on the transmission
shift handle. In this mode, stability control and the
brake-traction control are functional. Engine speed
management will be modified and the driven wheels can
spin more freely. For more details on this mode, see
StabiliTrak
®
System on page 4-6.
TURN SIGNAL ON
This message displays and a chime sounds if a turn
signal is left on for 3/4 of a mile (1.2 km). Move the turn
signal/multifunction lever to the off position.
