My friend has a saab that says ''gas alert'' when the gas light comes on.His is an older 9-3.l have a 2001 9-5.Do all saabs ''talk'' or is it just his?

Lol, some of the newer ones do as they have navigation and voice programs. The old ones did not talk, it is probably his only. Try to get some information from him and sell to all SAAB owners, l am sure we all will like it.

It is not actually talking but rather announcing the info so that u do not have to get distracted when u look down. But people upon hearing the warning still look down & get distracted. Useless device.

Now u may be talking about the On Star system that most Gm & Saab cars have. It allows u to communicate with a operator who then can talk to u with a push of a button on the dashboard & assist u with many functions. On star is extremely handy & useful
tool. However there is a catch. after the initial subscription of 1 or 2 years. u have to pay for yearly subscription.
