When I start my Saab, my heater/AC display shows a 0 in the left of the
display. After 30 seconds, the regular display comes on and everything is
ok. Being a pessimist, I assume that this means that the display unit is
getting ready to die.. Please tell me I'm wrong. ( It doesn't do it on
every start up..it is sporadic).

Far from it! Looks like your ACC system is doing a self test every time
you start the car, normally triggered by holding down Auto and Off, the
0 means no faults found.. Try resetting the system by holding down the
Auto button and the lower fan speed button (the display will flash to
confirm this followed by a self test. The owners handbook has more on
this - look up ACC programming in the index.
