type of V70 spark plugs V70-XC70 2002

I just received new spark plugs from Groton for my 2002 V70. They have three ground electrodes and not just one. Does that mean the plug gap is preset? Has anyone else tried these for the V70? My owners manual gives a gap size as if it were adjustable.
Thanks,
Gamma

    Those plugs are for non-turbo engines.

      Thanks, Klaus...
      I forgot to mention my V70 is not a turbo-type (i'm a simple guy).

        There is no gap change in the 3 prong OEM plugs, just pull the old plugs. Then put a thin coating of antisieze on the new plugs and tighten until snug. Done.
