171Starting and driving

• Driving in a low gear results in higher fuel

consumption than in a high gear because

of the lower engine speed for a given road

speed. Always change up to a higher gear

as soon as traffic conditions allow and use

the highest gear as much as possible.

• Check the air pressure in the tires once a

month. Incorrect pressures increase tire

wear. It is better to have slightly higher

pressure than lower.

• Check fuel consumption regularly.

Increased consumption can indicate that

something is wrong and that the car

needs to be checked by an authorized

Saab dealer.

Practical tests on the roads have demon-

strated that substantial savings in fuel con-

sumption can be made if the above advice

is heeded.

Road conditions

Wet roads increase fuel consumption, as do

unpaved roads and driving in hilly country

(the amount of fuel saved driving downhill is

less than the additional amount required to

climb the hill).

Engine block heater (standard

equipment in Canada, accessory in

U.S.)

The following are just some of the benefits

to the car and the environment of using an

engine block heater:

• Lower fuel consumption.

• Reduced wear on the engine.

• Inside of car warms up faster.

• Exhaust emissions substantially reduced

over short runs.

The engine block heater is effective with

outside temperatures up to +60 – +70°F

(+15 – +20°C). The warmer it is outside, the

shorter the time the heater need be con-

nected. Longer than 1.5 hours is unneces-

sary.

If the car is equipped with a removable elec-

trical cabin heater that is not in use, this

should be stored in the luggage compart-

ment.

Driving in cold weather

Before starting a journey in cold weather

you should check the following:

• That the wiper blades have not become

frozen to the windshield/glass.

• Brush any snow away from the air intake

for the heater system (opening between

hood and windshield).

• It may be advisable to lubricate the

door-lock cylinder (use molybdenum

disulphide, MoS

) to prevent its freezing.

If the lock has frozen, take care not to

break the key (or use the remote control)

– heat it first or spray it with de-icer.

• Periodically during the winter, add gaso-

line anti-freeze to the fuel to dispel any

condensation in the fuel tank which could

freeze and cause problems in the system.

Keep the tank well filled to reduce the risk

of condensation forming.

If the car is parked outside in freezing

weather, fuel additives (gasoline

anti-freeze) will not do any good as it

cannot remove water that has already fro-

zen. Park the car in a warm place so that

any ice that may have built up melts, then

add gasoline anti-freeze when filling up

the tank. Condensation is caused by

changes in the outdoor temperature or by

the car being parked alternately in a

garage and outside.

• It is particularly important when the roads

are slippery that the brakes and tires be in

good condition.
