An
important message from Saab·Scania of America
...
Be Safety Conscious!,
[v]

TO
OPERATE
IT.

what to do under adverse conditions.
[v]
FOLLOW "READINESS RULES" FOR SAFER DRIVING.

your seat
for
comfort
and correct driving position. Adjust the front seat head restraints
to
be level
with
the back
of
the head.

all three rear view mirrors. Remember the right one is convex (objects seen in
this
mirror
are closer
than they appear) .
-Fasten
your safety belt and make sure your passengers do too! The lower
portion
of
the 3-point belts should
fit
low and snug over the hips, the upper part should lay across the chest and over the shoulder. Restrain
young
children in suitable seat/restraints designed for the child's weight and/or height. See Section lB.
-Switch
the headlamps on in inclement weather (don't worry about forgetting them, on a Saab they will
automatically switch
off
with the
key).

all fluid levels; engine oil, transmission and differential oil, engine coolant and brake/clutch and power
steering fluids.
