It is there to force the test driver to shift for lowest fuel consumption on the standard test drive used to determine the official fuel consumption numbers. Without the light the test driver can change gears as he/she pleases most likely resulting in a much higher fuel consumption. The shift up light is only active, in Saabs, for the US/CA market. Depending on the Saab model and the software version it is more or less easy to kill the shift up light. -- G–ran Larsson http://www.nospam.com/saab/
