headlights PORSCHE 911 TURBO 2014 6.G Owners Manual

5
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.

On the road…
fNever drive after you have consumed alcohol or drugs.fAlways have your safety belt fastened.fAlways drive defensively. Expect the unexpected.fUse signals to indicate turns and lane changes.fTurn on headlights at dusk or when the driving conditions warrant it.fAlways keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you, depending on traffic, road and weather conditions.fReduce speed at night and during inclement weather.Driving in wet weather requires caution and reduced speeds, particularly on roads with standing water, as the handling characteristics of the vehicle may be impaired due to hydro-planing of the tires.fAlways observe speed limits and obey road signs and traffic laws.fWhen tired, get well off the road, stop and take a rest. Turn the engine off. Do not sit in the vehicle with engine idling. Please see the chapter “ENGINE EXHAUST” on page 4.fWhen parked, always put the electric parking brake on and put the PDK selector lever in position P. On hills also turn the front wheels toward the curb.fWhen emergency repairs become necessary, move the vehicle well off the road. Turn on the emergency flasher and use other warning devices to alert other motorists. Do not park or operate the vehicle in areas where the hot exhaust system may come in contact with dry
grass, brush, spilled fuel or other flammable material.fMake it a habit to check the engine oil with every refueling.
Break in hints for the first
2,000 miles (3,000 kilometers)
The following tips will be helpful in obtaining optimum performance from your new Porsche.
Despite the most modern, high-precision manufacturing methods, the moving parts must still wear in with each other. This wearing-in occurs mainly in the first 2,000 miles (3,000 km).
Therefore:
fPreferably take longer trips.fAvoid frequent cold starts with short-distance driving whenever possible.fAvoid full throttle starts and abrupt stops.fDo not exceed maximum engine speed of 4,200 rpm (revolutions per minute).fDo not run a cold engine at high rpm either in Neutral or in gear.fDo not let the engine labor, especially when driving uphill. Shift to the next lower gear in time (use the most favorable rpm range).fNever lug the engine in high gear at low speeds. This rule applies at all times, not just during the break-in period.fDo not participate in motor racing events, sports driving schools, etc. during the first 2,000 miles (3,000 kilometers).
There may be a slight stiffness in the steering, gear-shifting or other controls during the break-in period which will gradually disappear.
Break in brake pads and brake disks
New brake pads and disks 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 also applies whenever the brake pads and brake disks are replaced.
New tires
New tires do not have maximum traction. They tend to be slippery.fBreak in new tires by driving at moderate speeds during the first 60 to 120 miles (100 to 200 km). Longer braking distances must be anticipated.
Engine oil and fuel consumption
During the break-in period oil and fuel consump-tion may be higher than normal.
As always, the rate of oil consumption depends on the quality and viscosity of oil, the speed at which the engine is operated, the climate and road conditions, as well as the amount of dilution and oxidation of the lubricant.fMake a habit of checking engine oil with every refueling, add if necessary.

Maintenance and Car Care 235
Repairing the underbody protection
The underside of your car is durably protected against chemical and mechanical influences.
As it is not possible to exclude the risk of damage to this protective coating in day to day driving, it is advisable to have the underside of the car inspected at certain intervals - preferably before the start of winter and again in spring - and the undercoating restored as necessary.
Your authorized Porsche dealer is familiar with the bodyseal treatment procedures and has the necessary equipment for applying factory approved materials. We recommend that you entrust them with such work and inspections.
Unlike conventional spray oils, undercoating and rust-proofing compounds based on bitumen or wax do not attack the sound-proofing materials applied at the factory.
The exhaust system becomes very hot when the engine is running. Flammable material close to the exhaust system could ignite. Additional undercoating or rust protection agents on or near the exhaust system can become too hot when driving and ignite.fDo not apply additional undercoating or rust-proofing on or near the exhaust manifold, exhaust pipes, catalytic converters or heat shields. During driving the substance used for undercoating could overheat and ignite.
fBefore applying fresh underseal, carefully remove deposits or dirt and grease. Once it has dried, the new undercoating compound forms a tough protective coating which provides efficient rust-proofing of the floor panels and components.
fAlways apply a fresh coating of suitable preservative to unprotect areas after cleaning the underside of the body, the transmission, the engine or carrying out repairs to under-body, engine or transmission components.
Effective rust-proofing is particularly important during the cold weather season. If your car is driven frequently in areas where salt has been spread on the roads, the whole engine compartment should be cleaned thoroughly after the winter to prevent salt from causing any lasting damage. A full under-body wash should also be performed at the same time.
Cleaning headlights, lights, interior and exterior plastic components, adhesive foils, reversing camera and radar sensor for adaptive cruise control
Observe the following points: fUse only clean water and a little dishwashing liquid or interior window cleaner to clean headlights, lights, plastic components and surfaces.Use a soft sponge or a soft, lint-free cloth.fDo not spray water or interior window cleaner directly onto the plastic components in the passenger compartment, but first onto a sponge or cloth. Cleaning agents may, for example, enter controls or switches and cause damage.
Information
An interior window cleaner can also be used to clean plastic surfaces (always read the cleaning instructions on the container).We recommend Porsche interior window cleaner.fGently wipe the surface without applying too much pressure.fDo not clean when dry.
fNever use other chemical cleaners or solvents.fRinse cleaned surfaces with clear water.
Alloy wheels
Metal particles (e.g. brass or copper in brake dust) must not remain too long on alloy wheels.Contact corrosion can cause pitting.
Information
Cleaners with an oxide-removing effect or wrong pH value, as are commonly used for other metals, as well as mechanical tools and products, will damage the oxide layer and are therefore unsuitable.fUse only cleaners for alloy wheels (pH value 9.5). Products with the wrong pH value can destroy the protective layer on the wheels . We recommend Porsche cleaner for alloy rims.fIf possible, wash the wheels every two weeks with a sponge or washing brush. If the wheels are exposed to road salt, grit or industrial dust, weekly cleaning is necessary.fEvery three months, after cleaning, grease the wheels with car wax or an acid-free grease (e.g. Vaseline).Rub the grease in well with a soft cloth.fPlease see the chapter “CLEANING IN CAR WASHES” on page 233.
