wiper blades PORSCHE CAYNNE 2010 1.G Owners Manual

4Dear Porsche OwnerA lot has gone into the manufacture of your
Porsche, 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 firstfTurn 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 have engine oil checked 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 unobst-
ructed.
fCheck air intake slots and area between en-
gine 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 opera-
tion 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 equipmentIt 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.

Windshield Wiper/Washer Stalk
Warning!
Danger of injury when the windshield wipers
operate unintentionally.
Risk of damage to the engine compartment
lid, windshield and wiper system.
fOnly wipe the windshield when sufficiently wet,
otherwise it could be scratched.
fLoosen frozen wiper blades before driving off.
fDo not operate headlight washer when it is

fAlways switch off windshield wipers in car
wash to prevent them wiping unintentionally
(rain sensor operation).
fDo not operate headlight washer in car
washes.
fAlways switch off windshield wipers before
cleaning the windshield to avoid unintentional
operation (rain sensor operation).
fAlways hold the wiper arm securely when
replacing the wiper blade.fAlways switch the windshield wipers off (wiper
stalk in position 0) before opening the engine
compartment lid. If the wiper arms are not in
end position, they will automatically move to
this position when the engine compartment lid
is opened. This will happen even if the ignition
is off.
The wiper arms remain in this position until the
lid is closed and the wiper system is switched
off and then on again.
0 – Windshield wipers off
1 – Front windshield wiper – rain sensor
operation
fMove wiper stalk upwards to the first click.
Notes on operation
The amount of precipitation which has settled on
the windshield is measured. Wiper speed is auto-
matically adjusted accordingly.

5 – Front windshield wipers and washer
system
fPull wiper stalk towards the steering wheel.
The washer system sprays and wipes while the
lever is pulled towards the steering wheel.
When the wiper lever is released, a few wipes
are executed.
Headlight washer (on vehicles with Bi-Xe-
non headlights):
The washer sprays only while low beam or high
beam is switched on.
To activate the headlight washer system, the
wiper lever must be pulled for a longer period
of time.
The headlight washer can be re-activated at
the earliest after five washing cycles.
The spray duration is limited.
Maintenance Note
fIf heavily soiled, repeat wash.
fPersistent dirt (e.g. insect remains) should be
regularly removed.
Please see the chapter “CAR CARE
INSTRUCTIONS” on Page 270.
The front windshield washer nozzles are
heated when the ignition is on, as a precaution
against freezing. However, this does not replace
the use of antifreeze.6 – Rear window wiper – intermittent
operation
fMove wiper stalk forwards to the first click.
The rear window wiper wipes at preset
intervals.
7 – Rear window wiper – one-touch
operation
fPush wiper stalk forward briefly. The washer

When the wiper lever is released, a few drying
wipes are executed.Maintenance Note
fPeriodically clean the wiper blades with
window cleaner, especially after the vehicle
has been washed in a car wash.
We recommend the Porsche window cleaner.
In the event of heavy soiling (e.g. insect
residue), the blades can be cleaned with a
sponge or a cloth.
If the wiper blades rub or squeak, this may have
the following causes:
– If the vehicle is washed in an automatic car
wash, wax residues may adhere to the wind-
shield. These wax residues can be removed
only by using window cleaner concentrate.
fPlease see the chapter “WASHER FLUID” on
Page 258.
fPlease contact your authorized Porsche dealer
for further information.
– The wiper blades may be damaged or worn.
fReplace damaged or worn wiper blades as
soon as possible.

Wiper BladesMaintenance Notes
Wiper blades that are in perfect condition are vital
for a clear view.
fReplace the wiper blades twice per year
(before and after the cold season) or if wiper
performance deteriorates or the blades are
damaged.
fFor important information on “service topics”:
Please see the chapter “CAR CARE
INSTRUCTIONS” on Page 270.
Caution!
Risk of damage if wiper arm accidentally
falls back onto the windshield.
fAlways hold the wiper arm securely when
replacing the wiper blade.
Risk of damage if wiper blades that are
frozen in place are loosened improperly.
fThaw the wiper blades before loosening them.
Risk of damage.
If the wiper blades are not changed properly,
they can come loose when the car is moving.
fCheck whether the wiper blades are seated
securely.
The wiper blade must be pushed onto the wiper arm up to the stop. fPeriodically clean the wiper blades with
window cleaner, especially after the vehicle
has been washed in a car wash.
We recommend the Porsche window cleaner. If
they are very dirty (e.g. with insect remains),
they can be cleaned with a sponge or cloth.
If the wiper blades rub or squeak, this may be as
a result of the following:
– If the vehicle is washed in an automatic car
wash, wax residues may adhere to the wind-
shield. These wax residues can be removed
only by using window cleaner concentrate.
fPlease see the chapter “WASHER FLUID” on
Page 258.
Please contact your authorized Porsche dealer for
further information.
– The wiper blades may be damaged or worn.
fReplace damaged or worn wiper blades as
soon as possible.

Maintenance and Car Care
Warning!
Moisture which gets on the brakes during a
car wash can reduce braking efficiency or
make the brake pull unevenly which could
increase the danger of an accident, causing
serious personal injuries or death.
fAfter washing the vehicle, test the brakes and
steering and briefly brake the discs dry.
When doing so, make sure that vehicles travel-ling behind you are not affected.
Automatic car washes
fPlease see the chapter “WIPER BLADES” on
Page 261.
Optional add-on parts or parts which project be-
yond the contours of the vehicle may be damaged
by design features (e.g. brushes) of automatic car
washes.The following parts are particularly
susceptible to damage:
– Windshield wipers and rear wiper (always
switch them off – wiper stalk in position0 – to
prevent them wiping unintentionally in intermit-
tent or sensor operation).
– Door mirrors (always fold in).
– External antennas (always unscrew).
– Roof Transport System (always remove com-
pletely).
– Off-road roof-mounted headlights (always
remove completely).
– Spoiler.
– Wheels (the wider the rim and the lower the tire
height, the greater the risk of damage).
fPlease consult the operator before using
automatic car washes.
fWash and dry by hand all points not reached by
a car wash, such as door and lid seams or
door sills.
Note
Automatic car washes spray water at odd angles
and high pressures, which are not seen in normal
driving. Therefore, water can sometimes find its
way into the passengers compartment during or
shortly after the car wash.

Maintenance and Car Care
WindowsThe road dust which settles on the windshield and
windows contains particles of tire rubber and oil
residue. The interior trim and upholstery release
particles, particularly in strong sunlight, which col-
lect on the insides of the windows. These deposits
are augmented by impurities in the air which
enters the car through the fresh air vents.
fClean all windows regularly, inside and outside,
with Porsche window cleaner.
fMake sure not to damage the TV antenna in the
side window when cleaning.
fIf you use a chamois leather for the windows,
do not use it for paintwork as it will otherwise
pick up a certain amount of preservative or
polish and could smear the windows and thus
impair vision.
fRemove dead insects with insect remover.
Care of wiper bladesWiper blades that are in perfect condition are vital
for a clear view.
fReplace the wiper blades twice per year
(before and after the cold season) or if wiper
performance deteriorates or the blades are
damaged.
fFor information on replacing the wiper blades:
Please see the chapter “WIPER BLADES” on
Page 261.

window cleaner, especially after the vehicle
has been washed in a car wash.
