Night Panel - Saab 2003 9-5 2.3 Turbo Ecopower Owner's Manual

CHECK messages
When the engine is started, CHECKING will
appear on the display for about four sec-
onds, while the SID checks are being per-
formed.
When a CHECK message is generated
while the car is being driven, a chime will
sound, INFO DISPL will illuminate on the
main instrument panel, and the message
will appear on the SID. The number of mes-
sages that can be displayed by the SID
varies with the specification of the car.
If more than one CHECK message has
+
been generated, the symbol will appear to
the left of the text on the display. The mes-
sages appear in order of priority.
If a new fault occurs while another message
is being displayed, the message relating to
the new one will appear for 10 seconds,
after which the display will return to the ear-
lier one.
Press CLEAR once to acknowledge a mes-
sage, whereupon it will be cleared from the
display. It will not be displayed again before
the ignition has been switched off and then
on again.
The following messages may be displayed:

briefly pressing the CLEAR button, then
depressing it a second time for at least eight
seconds until "SERVICE" appears on the dis-
play and a chime sounds. The message can
only be deleted when it is shown on the SID.
