spark plugs replace PORSCHE CAYNNE 2010 1.G Information Manual

Thanks to single­spark coils on
each of the cylinders, the entire
ignition system on the petrol ­
engined models, with the
exception of the spark plugs,
is maintenance ­free.
These modest service require ­
ments mean less waste disposal
and fewer demands on natural
resources. They also lower the
cost of ownership while keeping
your car on the road. The new Cayenne S Hybrid
doesn’t require any additional
servicing.
Service intervals for the Cayenne
models are dependent on a range
of factors, including local fuel
qualit y. For full details of service
intervals in your country, please
consult the relevant price list
or contact your Porsche Centre.
Materials and recycling.
Owning a Porsche should be a
lasting pleasure with minimal
impact on the environment. This
Porsche principle can be summed
up in one word: sustainabilit y.
The light weight exhaust on the
Cayenne models, for example,

is constructed from long ­life
stainless steel.
Every Porsche model is entirely
free of asbestos, CFCs and
components manufactured using
CFCs. All legal requirements in
respect of recycling are fulfilled.
Materials are clearly labelled for subsequent identification and
sorting to facilitate ef ficient
recycling.
While more than 95
% of the car
can be recycled using current
technologies, the chances are
your new Cayenne may never
need recycling at all. After all,
t wo thirds of all the cars we have
ever made are still on the road
t o day.

Servicing.
With lengthy service intervals
and long ­life components, vehicle
maintenance is kept to a min­
imum. In the case of the oil filter,
for example, all that ’s replaced
is an easily recyclable paper
element. The oil filter casing
remains on the car.
All moving parts inside the engine
are fully self ­adjusting. The valve
clearances, for instance, feature
automatic hydraulic control.
Noise.
As paradoxical as it may seem,
the distinctive Porsche sound is
also created by what you don’t
hear – the absence of unwanted
noise. Naturally, its main origin is
deep within the engine. But that ’s
not all. Our holistic approach
to vehicle design also extends
to the acoustics. Which is why
we’ve optimised them for the
entire car.
To minimise ‘play’ bet ween com ­
ponents, we’ve used stronger,
lighter and more temperature ­
resistant materials. This reduces
mechanical noise. Large ­volume
silencers and air intake manifolds
also help to eliminate noise –
throughout the life of the car.
Tyre noise has been drastically
reduced in collaboration with
our of ficial t yre partners. Wind
noise levels have also been
lowered thanks to aerodynamic
refinements.
All that remains is a sound that is
pure Porsche.
