I just got my 2007 saab 9-3 for a steal of a price with only 80k miles on it, and there are a couple of things I'm struggling to figure out. Any help with them would be greatly appreciated.
-How do I check my MPG?
-Why does the air conditioning always come on automatically? Every time I start up the car, I have to press the "AC off" button to turn it off, and even then, sometimes it will turn itself back on when I turn the fans from off to on. I doubt there is, but is there anyway to prevent this from happening? Is this just a problem with my specific car?
-How do you make it so every time you turn on the car, the stereo settings (bass, middle and treble) don't reset? The previous owner had them all low and I have to reset them to max every time I turn the car on.
-When I first bought the car, on the drive home, I noticed the heated seats wouldn't turn on, and the traction control wouldn't turn off, and even while it was on, I was burning out on simple turns (I need new tires anyways). I thought this was strange, because if I'm burning out this badly with traction control on, then it must be horrible with it off. Then, eventually I was able to turn the heated seats on, and traction control seemed to get a lot better. I turned it off just to see what would happen, and then the traction control off light came on on the gauge cluster, and it was driving just like it was before. So what must've happened is that the traction control was off, didn't display the off light, and wouldn't let me turn it on. This has only happened once, but it's still something that I feel like should be taken care of. Is this a common problem?
Again, thank you for anyone willing to help me with this
