Saab 96 - Aiming Headlights

center electrode is subjected to bending. After 10,000—15,000 km
(6,000—10,000 miles) the spark plugs should be replaced.
The type of spark plugs to be used is determined to a great extent
by how the car is being driven. Hot spark plugs should be used for
running in, city driving and when the car is used ordinarily. Long
distance, high speed driving requires cold spark plugs in exceptional
cases, see page 10.
Use cold spark plugs only if the hot ones have proved to burn
down. The Bosch M 175 Tl, Champion UK 10 or equivalent are gene
rally the most suitable plugs for ordinary use of the car.
* Aiming Headlights
The headlights are mounted in the hood by three attachments, one
of which is pivoted and the other two serving as adjusting screws.
See fig. 29.
The upper screw, 1, is used for horizontal adjustment and by
screwing the lower one, 2, in or out, the beam is raised or lowered
respectively.
Before aiming, check that tire pressures are correct and place the
car on a level floor and square with the target. The car should be
unloaded except for the driver.
