198 Car care and technical information
Power steering fluid
Check the level of the power steering fluid in
the reservoir regularly, in accordance with
the service program.
The wheels should point forward during the
check.
Clean around the cap before it is
unscrewed. Clean the dipstick. Screw in the
cap completely again before checking the
level.
The oil should lie between the MAX and MIN
marks when the oil temperature is about
70°F (+20°C). If the oil is colder the level can
be lower, and in higher temperatures the
level can be higher, both of which are
acceptable.
Top up with ”Power Steering Fluid CHF 11S
or CHF 202”.
Air filter
WARNING
• Do not fill the power steering fluid to
above the MAX mark. Too much fluid
can result in leakage.
• Power steering fluid on hot engine
components constitutes a fire risk.
WARNING
• For Service and Repair, parts equiva-
lent to those used by Saab should be
used.
• Be aware that some non standard
replacement parts may put you in an
unsafe condition, even if they might fit.
