System revisions
A number of revisions and adaptations have
been made on the Saab 9-5 to give more space
in the engine compartment – mostly as a result of
the introduction of the new V6 diesel engine in
some markets.
Other improvements include better flow capacity
to the hydraulic unit for the ESP stabilizing
system and modifications to the brake disks that
will provide better braking performance on 9-5
models with 2.3 Turbo (Aero) and 3.0t V6
engines. (In the U.S. market, these changes will
be included on Arc and Aero models.)
The following are new:
• Master cylinder
• Brake servo
• The carrier up to the brake caliper has been
adapted to the steering swivel member
• More powerful brake system for 2.3 Turbo
(Aero) and 3.0t V6 (Arc). Larger ventilated
rear discs (300mm / 11.81in), with new carrier
and new rear brake caliper. The 3.0t V6 is
equipped with larger front discs, previously
fitted only on 9-5 Aero models (306mm /
12.05in). In the U.S. market, these changes
will NOT pertain to Linear models.
• Location of ABS unit
• Front wheel sensor mounting
• Disc backing plates front and rear
