The reduced tire tread depth means that there is an increased risk of aquaplaning on wet roads. fWhen driving on wet or mud-covered roads reduce speed significantly.
Sport tires have a smaller tread depth, and thus can reach their wear limit sooner.It is important to check tire wear frequently to avoid risk of serious personal injury or death from worn tires.fCheck tire wear frequently.
Driving on Race Circuit
(e.g. Sports Driving Schools, Club
Sport Events)
Brake fluid, brake pads and brake disks
Brake fluid absorbs moisture from the air over time. This accumulation of water lowers the boiling point and can impair braking action if the brakes are subjected to high temperatures, such as can occur on race circuits (sports driving school, Club Sport events).
The brake fluid should therefore not be more than 12 months old if the vehicle is driven on race circuits (sports driving school, Club Sport events).fFor more information, see the “ Maintenance” booklet.
Wear on the brake pads and brake disks depends to a great extent on the driving style and driving conditions. Wear on the brake components is increased as a result of high temperatures, such as can occur on race circuits (sports driving school, Club Sport events). fBefore and after driving on race circuits (e.g. sports driving school, Club Sport events), it is important therefore to carry out a professional inspection of the brake pads and brake disks for wear.
Racing tires
The fitting of racing tires (e.g. slicks) for sporting events is not approved by Porsche.Very high cornering speeds can be achieved with racing tires. The resulting transverse acceleration values would jeopardize the adequate supply of oil to the engine.Porsche therefore refuses to accept any guarantee or liability for damage occurring as a result of non-compliance with this provision.
Setting and operating vehicle
components when driving
Setting or operating the multi-function display, radio, navigation system, telephone or other equipment when driving could distract you from the traffic. You could lose control of the vehicle resulting in serious personal injury or death.fOperate the components while driving only if the traffic situation allows you to do so safely.fCarry out any complicated operating or setting procedures only with the vehicle stationary.

Engine Exhaust
Engine exhaust is dangerous if inhaled. Engine exhaust fumes have many components which you can smell. They also contain carbon monoxide (CO), which is a colorless and odorless gas.Carbon monoxide can cause unconsciousness and even death if inhaled.fNever start or let the engine run in an en-closed, unventilated area.It is not recommended to sit in your car for prolonged periods with the engine on and the car not moving.
Engine exhaust, some of its constituents, and certain vehicle components contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.In addition, certain fluids contained in vehicles and certain products of component wear contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Hot Exhaust Pipes
The exhaust pipe is hot when the vehicle is running and remains hot for some time after the vehicle is turned off.fTo prevent injury, make a point of noting where your vehicle’s exhaust pipe is, avoid placing your legs near the exhaust pipe, and closely supervise children around the vehicle during time when the exhaust pipe could be hot.A hot exhaust pipe can cause serious burns.
Portable Fuel Containers
Portable fuel containers may leak, whether they are full or partially empty. Fuel leaking from a portable container carried in your vehicle could, in case of an accident, cause a fire or explosion.fNever carry additional fuel in portable containers in your vehicle.
Ground Clearance
Risk of damage to the vehicle due to lower ground clearance.
The vehicle may touch the ground as a result of reduced ground clearance.fDrive carefully and slowly on steep slopes (e. g. parking lots, curbs, uneven roads, lifting platforms etc.).fAvoid steep ramps.
Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake
(PCCB)
fPlease see the chapter “BRAKES” on page 152.
The high-performance brake system is designed for optimal braking effect at all speeds and temperatures.Certain speeds, braking forces and ambient conditions (such as temperature and humidity) therefore might cause brake noises.
Wear on the different components and braking system, such as brake pads and brake disks, depends to a great extent on the individual driving style and the conditions of use and therefore cannot be expressed in actual miles on the road.
The values communicated by Porsche are based on normal operation adapted to traffic. Wear increases considerably when the vehicle is driven on race tracks or through an aggressive driving style.fPlease consult an authorized Porsche dealer about the current guidelines in effect before such use of your vehicle.

Dear Porsche Owner,
A lot has gone into the manufacture of your Porsche sports car, including advanced engineering, rigid quality control and demanding inspections. These engineering and safety features will be enhanced by you…
the safe driver…
– who knows her/his car and all controls,– who maintains the vehicle properly,– who uses driving skills wisely and always drives within her/his own capabilities and the level of familiarity with the vehicle.
You will find helpful hints in this manual on how to perform most of the checks listed on the following pages. If in doubt, have these checks performed by your authorized Porsche dealer.
Before driving off…
Check the following items first
fTurn the engine off before you attempt any checks or repairs on the vehicle.fBe sure the tires are inflated correctly. Check tires for damage and tire wear.fSee that wheel bolts are properly tightened and not loose or missing.fCheck engine oil level, add if necessary. Make it a habit to check the engine oil with every refueling.fCheck all fluid levels such as windshield washer and brake fluid levels.
fBe sure the vehicle battery is well charged and cranks the engine properly.fCheck all doors and lids for proper operation and latch them properly.fCheck and if necessary replace worn or cracked wiper blades.fSee that all windows are clear and unobstructed.fCheck air intake slots and area between luggage compartment lid and windshield. Ensure that these areas are free of snow and ice, so the heater and the windshield wipers work properly.fIf a child will be riding in the vehicle, check child seat/child seat restraint system to ensure that restraints are properly adjusted.fCheck all exterior and interior lights for operation and that the lenses are clean.fCheck the headlights for proper aim, and if necessary, have them adjusted.fCheck under the vehicle for leaks.fBe sure all luggage is stowed securely.
Emergency equipment
It is good practice to carry emergency equipment in your vehicle. Some of the items you should have are: window scraper, snow brush, container or bag of sand or salt, emergency light, small shovel, first-aid kit, etc.
In the driver’s seat…
fCheck operation of the horn.fPosition seat for easy reach of foot pedals and controls. To reduce the possibility of injury from the air bag deployment, you should always sit back as far from the steering wheel as is practical, while still maintaining full vehicle control.fAdjust the inside and outside rear view mirrors.fBuckle your safety belts.fCheck operation of the foot and electric parking brake.fCheck all warning and indicator lights with ignition on and engine not running.fStart engine and check all warning displays for warning symbols.fNever leave an idling car unattended.fLock doors from inside, especially with children in the car to prevent inadvertent opening of doors from inside or outside.Drive with doors locked.

Vehicles without Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB)
Even though the brake disks consist of alloyed gray cast iron, they will unavoidably start to corrode if your car is parked for an extended period. The brakes will tend to “rub” as a result.The nature, extent and effects of corrosion depend on the amount of time the vehicle was parked, whether road salt or grit was spread and whether grease-dissolving agents were used in car washes.
If the braking comfort is noticeably impaired, we recommend having the brake system checked by experts at an authorized Porsche dealer.
Brake system function
Your Porsche is equipped with a power assisted hydraulic dual circuit brake system with disk brakes at the front and rear. Both circuits function independently. One brake circuit operates the front left and rear right wheel and the other operates the front right and rear left wheel.
If one brake circuit has failed, the other will still operate. However, you will notice an increased pedal travel when you apply the brakes. Failure of one brake circuit will cause the stopping distance to increase.
Your vehicle is equipped with an emergency function in the extreme event of a complete hydraulic failure of the brake system. If your brake pedal goes all the way to the floor, do not pump the brakes. fPush the brake pedal down firmly and hold it in that position. A mechanical linkage activates the second circuit, and you will be able to bring the vehicle to a stop.fAfter bringing your vehicle to a complete stop, avoid driving the vehicle and instead have it towed to the nearest authorized Porsche dealer for repair.
Brake system warning light
You can check the functionality of the brake system warning light by switching the ignition to the “On” position (position 1) and verifying that the warning light illuminates.
Brake warning light USA
Brake warning light Canada
The warning light in the instrument panel lights up. A message will be displayed on the multi-purpose display of the instrument panel if the brake fluid level is too low, or (if the brake pedal travel has increased) one of the two brake circuits has failed.
A greater braking pressure will be required, stopping distances will be longer and the braking behavior will change, particularly in curves.
With correctly adjusted brakes and a correctly working brake system, the pedal travel to the point of brake application should be 1-3/16 in. to 1-9/16 in. (30 to 40 mm). Whenever the brake pedal travel exceeds this value, have the brake system checked.
Brake pedal
Unsuitable or incorrectly fixed floor mats or objects can reduce the travel of the brake pedal or prevent you applying the brake pedal.fAlways check the movement of the brake pedal before driving and make sure that it is not obstructed by a floor mat or any other object.fSecure the floor mat to prevent it from sliding into positions that could interfere with the safe operation of your vehicle.Your authorized Porsche dealer will be glad to offer you floor mats of the correct size including a securing possibility.
Information
In case one of the two brake circuits fails, increased pedal travel is required to bring your vehicle to a full stop.

Driving and Driving Safety 155
In heavy rain, while driving through water or after leaving a car wash, the braking action may be delayed and increased pressure may be required.fFor this reason, keep further back from the vehicle in front and “dry” the brakes by applying them at intervals. Make sure that the traffic behind you is not affected.
After a long drive over salted or gritted roads, a coating may form on the brake disks and pads that significantly reduces friction and therefore also braking effect.fEven though the brake disks consist of alloyed gray cast iron, they will unavoidably start to corrode if your vehicle is parked for an extended period. The brakes will tend to “rub” as a result.The nature, extent and effects of corrosion depend on the amount of time the vehicle was parked, whether road salt or grit was spread and whether grease-dissolving agents were used in car washes (not on vehicles with Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake).To prevent corrosion of the brake disks, “brake them dry” before parking the vehicle (not on vehicles with Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake).If braking comfort is noticeably impaired, we recommend that you have the brake system checked by experts at an authorized Porsche dealer.
fTo relieve the brake system on downhill stretches, change down to a lower gear in good time (engine braking).If engine braking is insufficient on steep stretches, operate the footbrake at intervals. Avoid continuous braking as it overheats the brakes and reduces the braking effect.
For information on brake fluid and checking the brake fluid level:fPlease see the chapter “BRAKE FLUID” on page 243.
New brake pads or linings
New brake pads have to be “broken in”, and therefore only attain optimal friction when the car has covered several hundred miles or km.The slightly reduced braking ability must be compensated for by pressing the brake pedal harder. This applies whenever the brake pads and/or brake disks are replaced.
A - Switch cruise control on/off 1 - Set/increase desired speed 2 - Reduce desired speed 3 - Interrupt (OFF) 4 - Return to set speed (RESUME)
Cruise Control
Cruise control maintains any selected speed between approx. 20–150 mph (30–240 km/h) without you having to use the accelerator.Cruise control is operated using the control stalk at the bottom left of the steering wheel.Downshifts are carried out to help maintain the pre-selected speed (especially when driving downhill).

Maintenance and Car Care 219
Exercise Extreme Caution when
Working on your vehicle
The engine compartment of any motor vehicle is a potentially hazardous area. If you are not fully familiar with proper repair procedures, do not attempt the adjustments described on the following pages.This caution applies to the entire vehicle.
Many vehicle fluids are highly flammable, e. g. fuel, engine and transmission oil. Fuel vapors can cause an explosion. When a battery is being charged, highly explosive gases can develop.fDo not smoke or allow an open flame around the battery or fuel.Pay attention to sparks, e. g. when coming into contact with cables.Keep a fire extinguisher close at hand.fEnsure that there are no open flames in the area of your vehicle at any time when fuel fumes might be present. Be especially cautious of devices such as hot water heaters which ignite a flame intermittently.fOnly work on your vehicle outdoors or in a well ventilated area.
Refill fluids, e. g. engine oil, brake fluid or coolant are hazardous to health (poisonous, irritant, caustic).fKeep these fluids out of children's reach and dispose of them in accordance with the appropriate State, Local and Federal regulations.fOnly work on your vehicle outdoors or in a well ventilated area.
Engine exhaust is dangerous if inhaled. Engine exhaust fumes have many components which you can smell. They also contain carbon monoxide (CO), which is a colorless and odorless gas.Carbon monoxide can cause unconsciousness and even death if inhaled.fOnly work on your vehicle outdoors or in a well ventilated area.
The engine and surrounding components, exhaust system and coolant become very hot when the engine is running.
The coolant reservoir is pressurized. Careless opening of the coolant reservoir can lead to hot coolant suddenly spraying out.
fTake care when working near hot parts of the vehicle, in particular engine parts and parts of the exhaust system.fBefore working in the engine compartment, always switch the engine off and let it cool sufficiently.fAllow the engine to cool down before opening the cap of the coolant reservoir and protect your hands, arms and face from any possible escape of hot coolant.
Take great care to ensure that hands, fingers, articles of clothing (e. g. ties, sleeves, etc.), necklaces or long hair cannot be caught up by the radiator fans, drive belt or other moving parts.
The radiator fans in the front of the vehicle may be operating or unexpectedly start operating when the engine is switched on.fExercise extreme care that parts of the body, articles of clothing or jewelry do not get caught in the radiator fan, drive belt or other moving parts.fCarry out work in these areas only with the engine off and exercise extreme caution.
When the ignition is on, all cables and wires of the ignition system carry a high voltage.fExercise special care when working on the ignition system.

Fuel Evaporation Control
Fuel tank venting
The evaporation chamber and the carbon canister prevent fuel vapors from escaping to the atmosphere at extreme high outside temperatures, when driving abruptly around curves and when the car is parked at an incline or in any other non level position.
Vapor control system and storage
When the fuel tank is filled, vapors are collected in the evaporation chamber by a vent line leading the vapors to the carbon canister where they are stored as long as the engine does not run.
Purge system
When the engine is running, the fuel vapors from the canister will be mixed with fresh air from the ambient air of the canister. This mixture will be directed to the intake air housing by the tank vent line, mixed with the intake air and burned during normal combustion.
Car Care Instructions
fPlease see the chapter “MEASUREMENTS ON TEST STANDS” on page 221.
Regular Maintenance and correct care helps to maintain the value of your car and is also a requirement for maintaining the manufacturers vehicle warranties.
Your authorized Porsche dealer has specially developed car-care products from the Porsche program available either singly or as complete car-care sets. They will be pleased to help you select suitable products.
Whether you use Porsche products or other commercially available cleaning agents first make sure of their correct application.
A Porsche that is well-cared for can look like new for years. It all depends on the amount of care the owner is willing to give the car.
Cleaning agents may be hazardous to your health. Most chemical cleaners are concentrates which require dilution. High concentrations might cause problems ranging from irritation to serious injury.fKeep cleaning agents out of reach from children.fObserve all caution labels.fAlways read directions on the container before using any product. These directions may contain information necessary to avoid personal injury.fDo not use fuel, kerosene, naphtha, nail polish remover or other volatile cleaning fluids. They may be toxic, flammable or hazardous in other ways. Only use spot removing fluids in a well vented area.fDo not clean the underside of chassis, fenders, wheel covers, etc., without protecting your hands and arms as you may cut yourself on sharp-edged metal parts.
Risk of damage to the vehicle or property from cleaning agents.fObserve all caution labels.
Information
Moisture and road salt on brakes may affect braking efficiency. fTest the brakes after each vehicle washing.

High-pressure cleaning equipment, steam cleaners
Risk of damage as a result of using high-pressure cleaning equipment, steam cleaners or similar.
High-pressure cleaning equipment, steam cleaners or similar can damage the following components:– Convertible top– Tires– Logos, emblems– Painted surfaces– Alternator– Electrical components and plug connections in the engine compartment– ParkAssist sensors– Radar sensor for adaptive cruise control– Reversing camerafAlways read the operating instructions provided by the equipment manufacturer.fAlways cover the lid of the brake fluid reservoir prior to cleaning. Never point the cleaning jet directly at the lid.fWhen cleaning with a flat-jet nozzle or a so-called “dirt blaster”, maintain a minimum distance of 20 in. (50 cm).fNever use high-pressure cleaning equipment or steam cleaners with a round-jet nozzle.A high-pressure cleaning device or steam cleaner fitted with a round nozzle will damage your vehicle. The tires are particularly susceptible to damage.fDo not point the cleaning jet directly at any of the aforementioned components.
Decorative film
Risk of damage due to separation of the decorative film when using high-pressure cleaning equipment, steam cleaners or similar cleaning equipment.fDo not use high-pressure cleaning equipment, steam cleaners, etc. to clean decorative films.
Care of door lock
fTo prevent the door lock from freezing during the cold season, cover the lock barrel with suitable adhesive tape while washing the vehicle.
If the lock still freezes, use an ordinary de-icer. In many cases, a well warmed key can help.fNever use excessive force.
Car washing
The best protection for the vehicle from the damaging effects of the environment is frequent washing and preservation.
The longer road salt, road dust, industrial dust, insect remains, bird excrement, and tree exudations (e.g. resin, pollen), etc. are allowed to remain on the bodywork, the more harmful their effect.
Observe the following points in order to ensure that the vehicle is washed thoroughly without damaging the paintwork: fThe underside of the vehicle should also be thoroughly washed at the end of the gritting season at the latest.fWash your vehicle only at sites provided for this purpose to prevent soot, grease, oil and heavy metals from entering the environment.
fNew cars should be washed carefully with plenty of clear water to protect the new paint work. Dark paint finishes show up the smallest of surface damage (e.g., scratches) more readily than lighter colors. Dark colors are slightly more susceptible to scratching and require particularly careful paint care.Dark paints make even the smallest surface blemishes (scratches) more conspicuous than lighter colors.fDo not wash your Porsche in direct sunlight or when its body is hot.fWhen washing by hand, use a car shampoo, plenty of water, and a soft sponge or washing brush.We recommend Porsche car shampoo.fStart washing the vehicle by thoroughly wetting the paintwork and rinsing the heavy dirt off.fAfter washing the vehicle, rinse it thoroughly with water and rub it dry with chamois-leather.Do not use the same chamois for rubbing dry as you use for cleaning the windshield and windows.
Reduced or uneven braking action may be caused by wet brakes.fAfter washing the vehicle, test the brakes and steering and briefly brake the disks dry.When doing so, make sure that vehicles traveling behind you are not affected.
