Push the catch in (1).
Pull the complete wiper blade down-
wards so that it comes away from the
wiper arm. Slide the entire blade out
from the arm.
Wipers and washers
The alternator is situated on the right-hand
side of the engine. It is driven via a
poly-V-belt from the crankshaft pulley.
The poly-V-belt also drives the water pump,
the A/C compressor and the steering servo
pump.
Wiper blades
Check and clean all wiper blades regularly.
We recommend Saab washer fluid for
cleaning.
If poor wiper performance is experienced,
cleanthewindshieldwithSaabwasherfluid.
This is particularly important if the car has
beenthroughanautomaticcarwash,asthis
sometimes leave a wax coating on the wind-
shield.
The belt tension is critical, and is adjusted
by an automatic belt tensioner.
See also page 55, "Warning charging".
If wiper performance is still unsatisfactory,
fit new blades.
