Cruise Control System Operation

Model: Saab 9 5 MK 1, Ys3e - Years 1997-2010
Part: Onboard computer

Cruise control is an electronic system that allows automatic speed regulation of a car. Once the desired speed is selected, it is maintained, depending on the vehicle's conditions. You can also increase or decrease the set speed by pressing two buttons, and if, for example, you decide to overtake another vehicle, pressing the accelerator pedal will increase the speed, which will return to the previously set speed only when you stop accelerating. The system deactivates if the brake, clutch, handbrake is pressed, a safety system (VDC, ASR, etc.) is activated, or if there are electrical circuit failures.

Start by removing the inner wheel arch liner to access the screw that secures the bumper to the wing. Next, remove the screws located on the top of the bumper. This will allow you to unscrew all the bolts securing the headlamp, including the one hidden by the bumper.
