Saab 9-3 (9440) 4D M04-M05 with 58 litres fuel tank within Vehicle Identification Number range 41000001 - 51025714
Saab 9-3 (9440) CV M04-M05 with 58 litres fuel tank within Vehicle Identification Number range 46015631 - 56005831
Due to several uncertain factors when calculating the trip computer DTE function (Distance To Empty), certain cars may run out of fuel before the trip computer has calculated the value for DTE as 0. The car must be updated with the latest software in order to ensure that DTE shows a correct value.
For M05 cars, DTE has been changed from indicating possible distance with fuel remaining down to 0 km, to displaying a text message in SID, with advice to refuel, when DTE is below 30 km.
For fitting the modification identity plate (not US/CA):
12 785 148 Modification identity plate
93 160 907 Cleaning agent Motip Dupli, aerosol 400 ml (sufficient for 50-100 cars)
Before proceeding, check box A4 of the modification identity plate. From and including M04 the table "Table of Modifications" can be found in the car's Warranty and Service Book. A modification identity plate must be fitted in accordance with the section "Fitting the modification identity plate" where local directives require the marking of the car. If the box is not marked, continue as follows.
