Introduction This manual provides practical guidance on driving and caring for your Saab. The Saab 9-3 will be available with the following engine variants: · 2. 0t 175 hp · 2. 0 Turbo 210 hp Although this manual describes the most important differences between model variants, it does not specify the equipment or features included on individual models. Importation and distribution of Saab automobiles, spare parts and accessories are handled exclusively by Saab Cars, Inc. [. . . ] No open or exposed flames near gasoline · do not use a mobile phone at the same time as refueling Only use fuel from a well-known oil company. All Saab gasoline engines can be driven on gasoline with an octane rating between AON 87­93. The engine management system monitors the combustion and automatically adapts to the fuel used. Always use the correct grade of fuel: unleaded AON 87­93. Filler cap removed for refueling Starting and driving Filler cap The filler cap has a bayonet fitting. Turn the cap approximately 1/4 of a turn until you hear one click. If the fuel filler cap is not on correctly, the following message is displayed on the SID: Tighten fuel filler cap. Manually opening the fuel filler door, see page 52. The most effective way to prevent condensation forming in the tank (and thus avoid possible running problems) is to keep the tank full. Refer to page 155 for information regarding gasoline anti-freeze. 129 NOTICE · Fill to maximum filling capacity. · Stop filling after the first time that the nozzle trips to shut off the flow of fuel. · Filling capacity can differ between different fuel stations and outside temperature. The average of these two values is the octane rating of the gasoline as it appears on the pump at a retail gas station. This value is sometimes referred to as the "AntiKnock Index" (AKI) or the "Average Octane Number" (AON). Starting and driving Fuel (Gasoline Engine) NOTICE Higher concentrations of methanol than listed above, or the use of methanolblended gasoline without suitable cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors, can damage your car's fuel system, leading to the need for repairs which are not covered by Saab's product warranty. 131 NOTICE The engine control module (ECM) monitoring the engine parameters also stores fault codes. Under certain circumstances, this may cause constant illumination of the Engine malfunction (CHECK ENGINE) lamp , thus indicating a fault that must be checked by your Saab dealer, see page 55. NOTE: always observe the following two measures: · Make sure that the fuel filler cap is screwed on correctly before the engine is started. Screw on the fuel filler cap until you hear a distinct click. Avoid driving with the fuel low level indicator illuminated. The symbol illuminates when less than approximately 2. 5 gallons (10 litres) of fuel remains in the tank. Use regular unleaded gasoline rated at 87 octane or higher. Use of gasoline with an octane rating lower than 87 can result in severe engine damage. Damage caused by incorrect fuel being used is not covered under the terms of the New Car Warranty and will be the responsibility of the owner. It is recommended that the gasoline meet specifications which were developed by the American Automobile Manufacturers Association (AAMA) and endorsed by the Canadian Motor Vehicle Manufacturers Association for better vehicle performance and engine protection. Gasolines meeting the AAMA specification could provide improved driveability and emission control system performance compared to other gasolines. In Canada, look for the "Auto Makers' Choice" label on the fuel pump. Be sure the posted octane is at least 87. [. . . ] Exercise care when driving on uneven roads or against the curb if the car is heavily laden. This particularly applies to cars with 18" wheels. Permitted wheel offset is 41 mm. 244 Technical data Recommended tire/engine combinations 2. 0t Summer tires 215/60 R15 94 H 215/55 R16 93 H 215/50 R17 91 W or 225/45 R17 91 W 225/45 R18 91 W Winter (snow) tires 195/65 R15 91 Q 195/65 R15 95 Q RF 205/55 R16 91 Q 215/55 R16 93 Q 205/50 R17 93 Q RF Wheel sizes 6. 5 x 15" 6. 5 x 16" 7 x 17" 7. 5 x 18" (accessory) ­ x x x ­ x x x x x x x x ­ ­ x x x x x x x ­ ­ x x 2. 0 Turbo RF = Reinforcement (tire with reinforced sidewalls) Technical data Recommended lowest tire pressure, cold tires Tire size Summer tires 215/60 R15 94 H Load/speed mph (km/h) *) Front Rear psi/kPa psi/kPa 32/220 32/220 38/260 35/240 35/240 41/280 35/240 35/240 41/280 35/240 35/240 41/280 33/230 41/280 33/230 41/280 32/220 39/270 32/220 39/270 33/230 38/260 32/220 32/220 38/260 32/220 32/220 38/260 35/240 35/240 41/280 35/240 35/240 41/280 33/230 41/280 33/230 41/280 32/220 39/270 32/220 39/270 33/230 38/260 245 1­3 pers. /0­100 (0­160) 4­5 pers. /0­100 (0­160) 1­5 pers. /100­ (160­) 215/55 R16 93 H 1­3 pers. /0­100 (0­160) 4­5 pers. /0­100 (0­160) 1­5 pers. /100­ (160­) 215/50 R17 91 W or 1­3 pers. /0­120 (0­190) 225/45 R17 91 W 4­5 pers. /0­120 (0­190) 1­5 pers. /120­ (190­) 225/45 R18 91 W 1­3 pers. /0­120 (0­190) 4­5 pers. /0­120 (0­190) 1­5 pers. /120­ (190­) Winter tires 195/65 R15 91 Q 1­3 pers. /0­100 (0­160) 4­5 pers. /0­100 (0­160) 195/65 R15 95 Q RF 1­3 pers. /0­100 (0­160) 4­5 pers. /0­100 (0­160) 205/55 R16 91 Q 1­3 pers. /0­100 (0­160) 4­5 pers. /0­100 (0­160) 215/55 R16 93 Q 1­3 pers. /0­100 (0­160) 4­5 pers. /0­100 (0­160) 205/50 R17 93 Q RF 1­3 pers. /0­100 (0­160) 4­5 pers. /0­100 (0­160) Spare wheel 125/80 R16 97 M or Max 50 (80) 125/85 R16 97 M *) Do not exeed posted speed limits.
