158 Starting and driving

Lock-up function

The automatic transmission has a lock-up

function, which renders the torque con-

verter inoperative in 3rd and 4th gears. The

result is reduction in the engine speed and,

hence, fuel consumption.

When the lock-up function comes into oper-

ation, it may give the impression of an over-

drive being engaged.

Kick-down

When the accelerator is pressed down hard,

a downshift to the next lower gear will occur

to provide maximum acceleration, e.g. for

overtaking.

The change-up to the next gear again will

take place either when the accelerator is

released or when maximum engine speed

for that gear is reached.

Park Brake Shift Lock

The transmission has a safety function

called Park Brake Shift Lock. For the selec-

tor lever to be moved out of the P position,

the brake pedal must be depressed at the

same time as the detent button is lifted.

Park Brake Shift Lock override

1 Apply the parking brake.

2 Make sure the key is in the ON position.

3 Use a small tool such as a screwdriver

and push the lever downwards so that

the detent button can be pressed

approx. 10 mm.

4 Move the selector out of position P to N.

5 Remove the tool.

6 Release the parking brake if the car is to

be moved immediately; otherwise keep

it applied.

Check fuse No. 12 (see page 208). If the

fuse is OK, check the battery voltage.

If the problem was cured by changing the

fuse or battery, you do not have to contact a

Saab dealer.

If the fuse blows again as soon as the Shift

Lock feature is activated you should contact

your Saab dealer.

NOTE

If a problem arises with the shift lock

mechanism, it may not be possible to

move the selector out of the park position,

even if the ignition is ON. If for some

reason the selector has to be moved out

of the park position (i.e. to tow the car a

short distance) do as described below.
