Saab 9-4X Owner Manual - 2011
5-6 Instruments and Controls
Reverse Gear Wipes
If the rear wiper control is off, the
rear wiper will automatically operate
continuously when the shift lever
is in R (Reverse), and the front
windshield wiper is performing low
or high speed wipes. If the rear
wiper control is off, the shift lever
is in R (Reverse), and the front
windshield wiper is performing
interval wipes, then the rear wiper
automatically performs interval
wipes.
This feature can be changed.
See Vehicle Personalization on
page 5‑42.
The windshield washer reservoir is
used for the windshield and the rear
window. Check the fluid level in the
reservoir if either washer is not
working. See Washer Fluid on
page 10‑26.
Headlamp Washer
For vehicles with headlamp
washers, they are located to the
side of the headlamps.
The headlamps must be on in order
to use the headlamp washers. If the
headlamps are not on, only the
windshield will be washed.
Pull the wiper lever toward you
and hold briefly to activate. The
headlamp washers will spray once,
pause, and spray again. The
headlamp washer will spray again
after five windshield wash cycles.
See Washer Fluid on page 10‑26 for
information on filling the windshield
washer fluid.
Compass
The vehicle may have a compass
display on the Driver Information
Center (DIC). The compass receives
its heading and other information
from the Global Positioning
System (GPS) antenna, Electronic
Stability Program (ESP), and vehicle
speed information.
Avoid covering the GPS antenna
for long periods of time with objects
that may interfere with the antenna's
ability to receive a satellite signal.
