    Got the car serviced a short time ago but the 'Time For Service' warning comes on at startup - I guess it was never reset. Does anyone know if I can reset this myself? :confused:

    Cheers :)

    I've just spent 10 minutes trawling through the service indicator reset thread in the maintenance forum.

    Someone posted the following handy info :D
    v240gltse wrote: »
    Introduction

    SID 2 and SID 3 units will display "TIME FOR SERVICE" when a service is due within 600 miles. This message is displayed once the car has travelled a certain number of miles since the last service.
    On vehicles from 1995, the system also takes into account the number of days since the last service. If 365 days have passed since the last service, and the message has not been triggered by the odometer, "TIME FOR SERVICE" will also be displayed.

    Resetting the TIME FOR SERVICE message

    This message can be reset easily if required, with the odometer monitor and day counter (if applicable) being reset. You may wish to do this if it has not been done by the garage carrying out the service, or if you are performing the service yourself.
    To reset the TIME FOR SERVICE memory:
    • Press CLEAR once to remove any messages which may be on the screen.
    • Hold down the CLEAR button on the SID unit.
    • After 4 seconds, the unit will beep and "CLEAR" will be displayed.
    • After 8 seconds, the unit will beep again and "SERVICE" will be displayed.
    • Release the CLEAR button to complete the reset.
    Note: This is part of the Saab's service procedures.

    To be honest, I'm a bit disgusted that someone with a user name like yours knows so much about Saab's :D

    try the following :

    Resetting your service indicator on Saab 9-3 and 9-5 models is easy:
    1. Switch Ignition on
    2. Press and release "CLEAR" button
    3. Press "CLEAR" and hold down button for at least 8 seconds.
    4. The word "SERVICE" will appear in the display after 2 bleeps.
    5. Switch ignition off.......
    Congratulations, you have now reset your service interval.

    Saab 9-3 Sport Saloon (2004-)

    1. You have to insert the key and turn it to the ignition position but without starting the engine.
    2. Then push the footbrake, keeping it pushed the whole time throughout this procedure.... (cars with diesel engine only)
    3. Then select "SETTINGS" on the steering wheel controls.
    4. Then press and hold the "SET" button until given audible confirmation.
    5. Select "TIME FOR SERVICE".
    6. When asked "RESET SERVICE CHECK?" Select YES (You can undo using the CLR Button)
    7. Release the brake pedal (cars with diesel engine only).


    To ROR: don't worry too much i'am only diverting from Volvo's for a while ( wife still has her S80) into Saab land :D:D. Just couldn't resist the 2.3FPT of the 9000cse in silver as it was on my list of "to drive cars " :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
