144 Starting and driving

Automatic transmission

fault indicator

If the symbol appears on the main instru-

ment panel, the system has detected a fault

in the automatic transmission or its control

module (see page 58).

This also means that the Limp-home mode

has been selected, to guard against further

damage being done to the transmission. In

this mode, the automatic transmission

starts in 4th gear, and gear changes (if nec-

essary) will have to be made manually.

It is not possible to select the SPORT or

WINTER mode when the Limp-home mode

is active.

You should have the automatic transmis-

sion checked as soon as possible by an

authorized Saab dealer.

The following gears will be engaged in the

respective selector positions when the auto-

matic transmission is in the Limp-home

mode:

Overheated transmission oil

If the transmission oil becomes overheated

while driving, the following message

appears on the SID: TRANSMISSION

OVERHEATING. In this event, stop the car

in a suitable place, switch off the engine,

open the hood and wait until the message

goes out. When driving subsequent to the

transmission oil overheating, select a

locked gear position in which the engine

speed is about 3,000 rpm.

The transmission oil can become very hot

when the car is driven with a heavy load; for

example, driving with a trailer on hilly roads

when the wrong gear has been selected,

resulting in many extra gear changes.

Select one of the positions 1, 2 or 3. A high

outside temperature or a defective oil cooler

can also cause the oil temperature to

increase. Contact an authorized Saab work-

shop, see also page 156.

Driving in hilly country with a heavy

load

Overheating of the automatic-transmission

fluid can occur when the car is towing a

heavy load, such as a trailer in hilly country,

with the wrong gear selected, resulting in

abnormally frequent gear changing. Try

selecting position 1, 2 or 3. High ambient

temperatures can also increase the temper-

ature of the transmission fluid or the oil

cooler may be faulty. As the transmission

fluid temperature increases, its useful ser-

vice life is reduced. Contact an authorized

Saab dealer (see also page 156).

Towing

Towing a car with automatic transmission,

see page 162.

Position R D 3 2 1

Gear Reverse 4th 4th 3rd 3rd

NOTE

If the control module has actuated the

Limp-home function for the automatic

transmission, the car will remain in 4th

gear when D is selected, making it very

sluggish. To overcome this, move the

selector lever to position 2.

WARNING

Remember to use engine-braking (selec-

tor position 1, 2, or 3) to spare the brakes

when you are driving on a long or steep

downhill slope. Select the same gear as

you would on the corresponding uphill

slope.

Brake failure can result from overheated

brakes!
