to prioritize the windshield. The following
message is displayed on the SID:
To prevent the smell of washer fluid from
entering the car, recirculation can be acti-
vated automatically while the windshield is
washed. The recirculation symbol will how-
ever not light up. This function is optional;
contact a workshop. We recommend that
you contact a Saab dealer. This automatic
recirculation is the factory default setting as
long as the system is working in full "AUTO"
mode with no customized settings.
Headlight washers 3
The headlights are washed at the same time
as the windshield if the headlights are on.
The headlights are washed every fifth time
the windshield washers are used or if two
(2) minutes have elapsed since the wind-
shield was last washed.
The headlight washers are not activated at
speeds in excess of 125 mph (200 km/h).
Rain sensor 3
The rain sensor automatically controls the
windshield wipers. The sensor is located on
the windshield beside the rearview mirror.
The system varies the frequency of wiping
between single sweeps and continuous
wiping, depending on the amount of pre-
cipitation.
Activate the rain sensor by lifting the stalk
switch to the AUTO position. The wipers
make one sweep for reference to see how
much water is on the windshield. In the
future, the sensor compares the amount of
water on the windshield with this reference
value.
Washer fluid level low.
Refill.
WARNING
Turn the rain sensor off if the ignition is
ON to avoid personal injury when clearing
snow and ice from the windshield.
NOTICE
Turn the rain sensor off before washing
the car in an automatic carwash, to avoid
damaging the windshield wipers.
