241Car care and technical information

Clean the underside of the car during

the winter.

Use high pressure water to

clean the car’s underside (floor panels,

wheel wells) at least at mid- winter and

in the spring.

Inspect the car frequently for leaks or

damage, and arrange for needed

repairs promptly.

After washing or after

heavy rain, check for leaks. When wash-

ing the car inspect body surfaces for

paint damage. While checking for leaks,

lift the floor mats and check beneath

them. Water can collect in these areas

and remain for prolonged periods. Dry

any wet areas including the floor mats.

Have leaks repaired as soon as pos-

sible.

Use touch-up paint to repair small scrat-

ches or minor finish damage. Areas

where metal is exposed will rust quickly

and MUST be repaired immediately by

touch-up or professional repainting.

Rust must be removed, the bare metal

primed and painted. Major body

damage should be repaired immediately

and new panels or exposed areas

should be undercoated with anti- corro-

sion material.

Repairs of this type are the owner’s

responsibility and are not covered under

warranty.

Inspect the undercoating and touch

up if necessary.

Pay particular atten-

tion to the fenders and wheel housings,

which are exposed to abrasion by flying

gravel, etc. If the composition has worn

or flaked off, the steel must be tho-

roughly cleaned and dried before a fresh

coat is applied. The cleaning is best

done with a scraper and a steel wire

brush, followed by washing with solvent.

Apply the new coating thinly, as other-

wise it may run off or fall off when dry.

For long trips

Before setting off on a long journey, it is

advisable to have your car checked over by

your Saab dealer.

Obtain a few important items to take along

on your journey such as spare bulbs, wiper

blades, fuses, a Poly-V-belt and the like.

You can check some points yourself befor-

ehand:

• Make sure that the engine is in good con-

dition.

• Check that no oil or gasoline leaks out of

the engine or gearbox/transmission.

• Check the coolant and power steering

fluid levels. Check also for leaks.

• Inspect the Poly-V-belt and replace it if it

shows any signs of hard wear.

• Check the battery charge.

• Check the tires for tread pattern and air

pressure, including the compact spare

wheel.

• Check the brakes.

• Check all bulbs.

• Check for the presence of the tool kit and

the jack in the car.
