Try holding in the clear button until it bongs - should be a few
seconds. Trouble is, you'll then be out-of-sync with the real
services.

To change the interval, you'll need a Saab dealer or specialist to
plug in their gadget. If they do it around the time of the real
service, they should be able to re-sync it too.

Cheers,

Colin.

It's a long few seconds. The first beep is just the standard "clear
the MPG" stuff. Hold it over 10 seconds and the service message should
clear.

You may want to try to disconnect the neg on your battery.  This is the way
it is done on some cars.  That should recylce the service message.  Or
there could be a button under the dash or near the speedomter.  On my
volvo there were two buttons and they had to be pushed together for the
light to go off.
