218 Car care
Maintenance
• The drive belt for the compressor should
be inspected under the regular service
program.
• Clean dirt and insects away from the con-
denser and radiator to prevent clogging.
When washing the car, use the hose to
spray the radiator and condenser (located
forward of the radiator) from both sides
(both from the front of the car and from
inside the engine bay). Do not use a pres-
sure washer.
Caution: Do not use the hose when the
engine is hot.
Other than in extremely cold weather, do not
cover the radiator, e.g. with screen netting,
as this will greatly diminish its cooling capac-
ity.
Note:
The A/C system will only operate
when the outdoor temperature is above the
freezing point (0°C, 32°F). Switch on the
A/C system when the car stands in a warm
place.
Headlight aiming
The vehicle is equipped with vertical and
horizontal aim indicators. The aim has been
preset at the factory and should normally not
need further adjustments. This is true even
though your vertical and horizontal aim indi-
cators may not fall exactly on the "0" (zero)
marks on their scales.
If your headlight is damaged in a crash, the
headlight aim may be affected. If you believe
your headlights need to be re-aimed, we
recommend that you take it to your Saab
dealer for service. However, it is possible for
you to re-aim your headlights as described
in the following procedure.
To check the aim, the vehicle should be
properly prepared as follows:
• Place the vehicle on a level pad or surface
• The vehicle should be unladen and fuel
tank full, and one person or 160 lbs.
(75 kg) on the drivers seat
• The vehicle should not have any snow, ice
or mud attached to it
• Tires should be inflated to the prescribed
pressure
• Rock the vehicle to stabilize the suspen-
sion
Open the hood and locate the vertical aim
level (B) that you can see through the top of
the headlight lens.
If you find that the headlight needs adjust-
ment follow these steps:
1 Locate the vertical aiming device (A)
located behind and below the outer
headlight assembly.
2 Turn the vertical aiming screw with a
0.24 in. (6 mm) Hexagonal Allen wrench
until the bubble inside the level is cen-
tered between the two red lines (zero).
3 Check the horizontal aim (1) and adjust
as necessary. The horizontal aiming
device (2) is located behind the inner
headlight assembly. Turn the horizontal
aiming knob until the zero (0) line on the
knob aligns with the zero mark on the
graduation scale.
WARNING
Before checking/adjusting the headlight
aiming, switch off the engine to avoid
danger of fingers and hands being injured
by moving parts.
The radiator fan can start up even when
the engine is switched off.
