– Defect in the battery charging system
– Broken drive belt
Warning!
Risk of engine damage with resultant loss of
control and accident, leading to serious
personal injury or death.
A broken drive belt means there is no power
assistance to the steering (more effort is
required to steer) and engine cooling fails.
fDo not continue driving.
fHave the fault remedied at your nearest autho-
rized Porsche dealer.
Danger of steering assistance failing during
a long trip in the water if the drive belt slips.
fIf the steering assistance fails, more effort will be required to steer.

fSwitch the air conditioner off.
fSwitch the headlights off.Tips on driving
fAvoid high engine speeds (max. 2,500 rpm).
fDo not perform manual gear changes when
driving, and try to avoid stopping.
Moving off in the water can be difficult due to
the high resistance and the loose surface
involved.
fStart the water crossing at a shallow place at
walking speed.
fAfter checking the body of water, take the
shortest path through it.
fNever drive into the water at high speed. The
resulting “bow wave” could damage the engine
and its accessories.
fAdjust your driving style to the unfamiliar sur-
roundings.
fCross the body of water slowly and at a con-
stant speed.
fNever turn around when crossing a body of
water.
fIf it is not possible to cross the body of water,
the car must be backed out of it in reverse
gear.
The servo pump and alternator can fail if the car is
driven through water for an extended period.
fIf the servo pump fails, substantially more
force will have to be exerted in order to steer. Maintenance Note
The car requires a special check after the water
crossing.
fRemove mud from the tire tread.
fBriefly apply the brakes in order to dry them
after driving through the water.10_Cayenne_21_KW17.book Seite 200 Donnerstag, 9. April 2009 3:33 15

Maintenance and Car Care
271
High-pressure cleaning equipment, steam
cleaners
Warning!
High-pressure cleaning equipment, steam
cleaners or similar can damage the following
components:
–Tires
– Logos, emblems
– Painted surfaces
– Widened fenders
– Lock and latch of the removable towing attach-
ment
– Seals of the electrically retractable ball hitch
– Alternator, valve covers
– ParkAssist sensors
fPlease see the operating instructions from the
unit manufacturer.
fAlways cover the lid over the brake fluid reser-
voir prior to cleaning. Never point the cleaning
jet directly at the lid.
fWhen cleaning with a flat-jet nozzle or the like,
maintain a minimum distance of 21 in.
(50 cm).fNever use high-pressure cleaning equipment,
steam cleaners, etc. with a round-jet nozzle.
High-pressure cleaning equipment 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 foils Caution!
Risk of damage due to separation of the de-
corative foils when using high-pressure clea-
ning equipment, steam cleaners or similar
cleaning equipment.
fDo not use high-pressure cleaning equipment, steam cleaners, etc. to clean decorative foils.
Door lockfTo prevent the door lock from freezing during
the cold season, cover the lock barrel with a
suitable adhesive tape during washing.
Should the locks freeze, use an ordinary de-icer.
In many cases, a well warmed key can help.
Never use excessive force.
WashingThe best protection for the car from the damaging
effects of the environment is frequent washing and
preservation. The underside of the car should also
be thoroughly washed for cinders, salt or sanding
at winter‘s end.
The longer salt, road dust, industrial dust, insect
remains, bird excrement, and tree exudations
(resin, pollen), etc. are allowed to remain on the
bodywork, the more serious is their harmful
effect.
New cars should be washed carefully with plenty
of clear water to protect the new paint work.
Dark paint finishes show up the smallest of sur-
face damage (e.g. scratches) more readily than
lighter colors.
Dark colors are also more susceptible to scrat-
ching because of the composition of their pig-
ments and require particularly careful paint care.
fDo not wash your car in bright sunlight or while
the bodywork is still hot.
fWhen washing by hand, use abundant water, a
soft sponge or wash brush and Porsche car
shampoo.
fBegin by spraying the body thoroughly with
water to rinse away loose dirt.
fAfter washing, rinse the car with plenty of
water and then dry with a chamois leather.
Do not use the same chamois leather for
drying as you use for cleaning the windshield
and windows.

Maintenance and Car Care
273
PaintfNever rub a dusty car with a dry cloth since
dust particles are abrasive and could dull and
damage the surface finish.
The paintwork of your car is exposed to all types
of mechanical and chemical conditions, particular-
ly climatic ones such as bright sunlight, rain, frost
and snow. Ultraviolet light, rapid changes in tem-
perature, rain, snow, industrial dust and chemical
deposits constantly attack the paint which is only
able to withstand such exposure in the long term
if it is given regular care and attention.
fDo not apply silicone polishes to the windshield
or window.
fDo not treat matt-painted components with
preservatives or polishes, otherwise the matt
effect will be lost.
Preservation
The paint surface becomes dull over time due to
weathering. It is therefore necessary to preserve
the paint regularly.
This keeps the paint shiny and elastic. Dirt is
prevented from adhering to the paint surface and
industrial dust is prevented from penetrating the
paint.
Provided it is washed and treated with preserva-
tive regularly, the brand new finish of your car will
be retained for years to come.
fSimply apply paint preservative after washing
the car and polish it smooth.Polishing
Do not resort to using Porsche polish until it
becomes evident that the normal preservatives no
longer produce the desired finish.
Removing spots and stains
fRemove tar stains, grease, oil spots and dead
insects etc. as soon as possible with Insect Re-
mover. They can cause discoloration if allowed
to remain on the paintwork.
fWash the affected area immediately after
treating it.
Minor paint damage
fHave minor paint damage, such as scratches,
scores or chips caused by flying stones,
repaired immediately by your authorized
Porsche dealer before corrosion begins.
However, if there are already traces of corrosion,
they must first be removed carefully and
thoroughly. Coat the area with a rust-proofing
primer and finish off with a top coat. The paint
code and color number are found on the data bank
in the Maintenance booklet and on the vehicle’s
data bank.
fPlease see the chapter “DATA BANK” on
Page 347.
Cleaning the engine compartment
Caution!
Risk of damage, e.g. to the alternator,
painted surfaces, and the valve covers.
fNever use high-pressure cleaning equipment
with a round-jet nozzle.
fAlways maintain a minimum distance of 21 in.
(50 cm).
fAlways cover the lid over the brake fluid reser-
voir prior to cleaning with a high-pressure
cleaner. Never point the cleaning jet directly at
the lid.
fDo not point the cleaning jet directly at any of the aforementioned components.
Note on operation
If the car is driven off-road frequently and after
driving on salted or gritted roads:
fClean the engine compartment regularly.

Minor Repairs
323
Emergency Starting with Jumper
CablesIf the battery is discharged, e.g. in winter or after
the car has been parked for a long time, the bat-
tery of another car can be used for starting with
the help of jumper cables.
Make sure the voltage of both batteries is the
same.
The capacity (Ampere hours, Ah) of the booster
battery must not be substantially less than that of
the discharged battery.The discharged battery
must be correctly connected to the vehicle's elec-
trical system.
fPlease see the chapter “BATTERY” on
Page 320.
Note
Do not try to start the car by pushing or towing.
Damage to the catalytic converters and other
components of the car may result.
Danger!
Risk of short circuit, damage and explosion,
resulting in serious personal injury or death.
fUse only jumper cables of adequate diameter
cross-section and fitted with completely
insulated alligator clips.
fFollow all warnings and instructions of the
jumper cable manufacturer.
fWhen connecting jumper cables, make sure
that they cannot get caught in any moving
parts in the engine compartment.
The jumper cables must be long enough so
that neither vehicles nor cables touch another.
fThe vehicles must not be in contact, otherwise
current might flow as soon as the positive
terminals are connected.
fThe cable clamps must not be allowed to con-
tact each other when one end of the jumper ca-
bles are connected to a battery.
fCarefully ensure that tools or conductive jewe-
lery (rings, chains, watch straps) do not come
into contact with the positive jumper cable or
the positive battery post.
fImproper hook-up of jumper cables can ruin
the alternator.
Danger of caustic burns.
fDo not lean over the battery.Danger of gas explosion.
fImproper use of booster battery to start a
vehicle may cause an explosion, resulting in
serious personal injury or death.
fKeep sources of ignition away from the
battery, e.g. open flame, burning cigarettes or
sparking due to cable contact or welding work.
fA discharged battery can freeze even at
14 °F (−10 °C). Before connecting jumper
cables, a frozen battery must be thawed out.
