Changing bulbs
Check that the new bulb is working when finished.
Use only "Long Life" bulbs.
Headlight aiming, see page 250.
Bi-Xenon headlight (certain models only)
Bi-Xenon headlights produce roughly twice as much light as halo-
gen bulbs and have a significantly longer service life.
The lamp units consist of a gas discharge lamp containing xenon.
When the lights are switched on a very high voltage activates the
xenon gas. The lamps soon reach full intensity.
Cars with xenon headlights have automatic levelling. The levelling
system comprises two sensors on the front axle, one on the rear axle
and a control unit under the headlight housing. Headlight alignment
is regulated automatically to prevent dazzling oncoming traffic.
Alignment is also adjusted during braking.
WARNING
Before changing a bulb in the engine bay, 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.
Bi-Xenon headlights are high voltage and must therefore be
changed at an authorized Saab workshop. Work involving
high-voltage components is potentially lethal.
NOTICE
• Since the headlight lenses are made of plastic, rinse dried-on
dirt with water and allow it time to soften up before cleaning
the lenses. Avoid rubbing the lenses when dry and never use
solvents.
• Use de-icer spray instead of scraping the ice off.
NOTICE
• Do not fit bulbs with a higher rating than 55 W, since the head-
light reflector and the wiring of the car are not designed for a
higher wattage.
• Switch off the ignition before changing a bulb, to avoid possi-
ble short-circuiting.
• Do not touch the glass of the bulbs with your fingers. The oil
on your skin can shorten the life of the bulb.
