Miscellaneous electrical equipment
An automatic reset switch located under the steering
wheel controls the current to the direction indicators. It
also serves as a dimmer switch. A green warning lamp on
the instrument panel indicates when the direction indica-
tor (flasher) is operating.

The two-speed windshield wiper motor drives the two
windshield wipers via twin I inkages (as from model 1971
via a reversible cable) and is turned on and off with a
switch on the steering column stand. This switch is com-
bined with the control for the windshield washer, the
pump of which is driven by an electric motor.
The horns are on model 1970 operated with the wind-
shield wiper lever. As from model 1971 they are operated
with a contact on the safety pad of the steering wheel.
One high-pitched and one low-pitched horn are harmo-
nized to give a high-penetration signal.
The Sonett III is equipped with a hazard warning signal
switch, located in the middle of the instrument panel.
When the button is pulled out, all direction indicator lights
and the corresponding warning lamps flash simultaneously.

The Sonett I I I features the same type of brake warning
system as is used in the Saab V4. With regard to the
location and setting of the warning switch, see section 364
"Electrical controls and switches".
The stop-light switch is hydraulic and is mounted on the
secondary circuit of the master cylinder.
To ensure that the car will not be left unlocked, a buzzer
is activated if the door is opened with the key left in the
ignition lock.
