Driving and Driving Safety
f
Do not warm up the engine when stationary. 
Drive off immediately. Avoid high revs and full 
throttle until the engine has reached operating 
temperature.
f If the vehicle battery  power is too weak, the 
engine can be started with jump leads.
For information on jump-lead starting:
f Please see the chapter “EXTERNAL POWER 
SUPPLY, JUMP-LEAD STARTING” on 
page 306.
Note on operation
To ensure a good battery charge condition, 
thereby ensuring that the  battery will start the 
engine, all electrical loads that are not required 
should be switched off when the ignition is 
switched on and when engine revs are low 
(in traffic jams, in city traffic or in queues).
Stoppingf Only remove the ignition  key when the vehicle 
is stationary.
f Only switch the ignition off when the vehicle is 
stationary, as there is no power steering and 
brake booster assistance when the engine is 
switched off.
f When leaving the vehicle,  always remove the 
ignition key,  apply the electric parking brake 
and engage selector-lever position P .
The control unit  always remains in the ignition 
lock on vehicles with  Porsche Entry & Drive .
 Warning!
Danger of injury. Hot engine compartment 
components can burn skin on contact.
f Before working on any part in the engine 
compartment, turn the engine off and let it cool 
down sufficiently.
Risk of burn injury when standing near or 
coming into contact with the exhaust pipe.
The exhaust pipe is hot wh en the vehicle is running 
and remains hot for some time after the vehicle is 
turned off.  f
To prevent injury, make a point of noting where 
your vehicle’s exhaust pipe is, avoid placing 
your legs near the exhaust pipe when loading 
and unloading cargo in the rear, and closely 
supervise children around  the vehicle during 
time when the exhaust pipe could be hot. 
A hot exhaust pipe can cause painful skin 
burns.
Radiator fanFor information on radiator fans:
f Please see the chapter “RADIATOR FANS” on 
page 258.
 Warning!
Danger of injury. After the ignition is 
switched off, the engine compartment and 
coolant temperatures are monitored for 
approx. 30 minutes. During this period, and 
depending on temperature, the radiator fan 
may continue to run or start to run.
f Carry out work in these areas only with the 
engine off and exercise extreme caution, 
always anticipating that the fan blade could suddenly start to run.

Maintenance and Car Care
Exercise Extreme Caution when 
Working on your vehicle
 Danger!
Ignoring the following instructions may 
cause serious personal injury or death.
f The engine compartment of any motor vehicle 
is a potentially hazardou s area. If you are not 
fully familiar with proper repair procedures, do 
not attempt the adjustments described on the 
following pages.
f O n l y  w o r k  o n  y o u r  v e h i c l e  o u t d o o r s  o r  i n  a  w e l l  
ventilated area.
f Ensure 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.
f Before working on any part in the engine 
compartment, turn the engine off and let it cool 
down sufficiently. Hot engine compartment 
components can burn skin on contact.
f Be alert and cautious around the engine at all 
times while it is running.  If you have to work on 
the engine while it is running, always put the 
parking brake on  and put the PDK selector 
lever in position  P or N.
f In particular, be very careful to ensure that 
items of clothing (ties, shirt, sleeves etc.), 
jewelry, long hair, hand or fingers cannot get  caught in the fan, belts or other moving parts.
The radiator and radiator fans are in the front 
of the car.
The fans can start or continue running as a 
function of temperature,
 even with the engine 
switched off.
Carry out work in these areas only with the 
engine off and exercise extreme caution.
f Your Porsche is equipped with an electronic 
ignition system. When the ignition is on, high 
voltage is present in all wires connected with 
the ignition system; therefore, exercise 
extreme caution when working on any part of 
the engine while the ignition is on or the engine 
is running.
f Always support your car with safety stands if it 
is necessary to work under the car. The jack 
supplied with the car is not adequate for this 
purpose.
Switch off level control of air suspension and 
height adjustment.
Please see the chapter “RAISING THE VEHICLE 
WITH A LIFTING PLATFORM, TROLLEY JACK 
OR STANDARD JACK” on page 290.
f When working under the car without safety 
stands but with the wheels on the ground, 
make sure the car is on level ground, the 
wheels are blocked, and that the engine 
cannot be started.
Withdraw ignition keys (switch ignition off in 
vehicles that have Porsche Entry & Drive). f
Do not smoke or allow an open flame around 
the battery or fuel.
Keep a fire extinguisher close at hand.
f Incomplete or improper servicing may cause 
problems in the operation of the car. If in doubt 
about any servicing, have it done by your 
authorized Porsche dealer.
Improper maintenance during the warranty 
period may affect your Porsche warranty 
coverage.
f Supplies of fluids, e.g. engine oil, washer fluid, 
brake fluid or coolant, are hazardous to your 
health. 
Keep these fluids out of children's reach and 
dispose of them in accordance with the 
appropriate regulations.
f Some countries require additional tools and 
special spare parts to be carried in your 
vehicle. Please make enquiries before driving 
abroad.

Technical ModificationsfModifications may be carried out on your 
vehicle only if approved by Porsche.
This ensures that your Porsche will remain 
reliable and safe to drive,  and that it will not be 
damaged as a result of the modifications.
Your authorized Porsche dealer will be pleased 
to advise you.
 Safety notes!
f Only use genuine Porsche spare parts for your 
vehicle or spare parts of similar quality which 
have been manufactured according to the 
specifications and production requirements of 
Porsche. These parts are available from your 
authorized Porsche dealer or a qualified 
specialist workshop. Safety-related 
accessories should only be used if they are 
from the Porsche Tequipment range or are 
tested and approved by Porsche. Your 
authorized Porsche dealer will be pleased to 
advise you and answer any questions you may 
have.
However, the use of other parts or 
accessories may adversel y affect the safety 
of your vehicle, and Porsche can take no 
responsibility for any loss or damage caused 
by their use.
Even if the supplier of  other accessories or 
parts is a recognized supplier, the safety of 
your vehicle may still be affected if such items 
are installed.
Due to the large variety of products offered in  the accessory market, it is not possible for 
Porsche to inspect and approve every one.
f In addition, please note that the use of 
replacement parts that are not genuine 
Porsche parts or approved parts, or the use of 
accessories not approved by Porsche may 
also detrimentally affect your vehicle warranty.
f Check your vehicle regularly for signs of 
damage. Damaged or missing aerodynamic 
components, such as spoilers or underbody 
panels, impair vehicle handling and must 
therefore be replaced immediately.
Radiator fanFor information on radiator fans:
fPlease see the chapter “RADIATOR FANS” on 
page 258.
 Warning!
Danger of injury. After the ignition is 
switched off, the engine compartment and 
coolant temperatures are monitored for 
approx. 30 minutes. During this period, and 
depending on temperature, the radiator fan 
may continue to run or start to run.
f Carry out work in these areas only with the engine off and exercise extreme caution.
Measurements on test standsPerformance test
Performance tests on roller-type test stands are 
not approved by Porsche.
Brake tests
Brake tests must be performed only on roller-type 
test stands.
The following limit values must not be exceeded 
on roller-type test stands:
– Test speed 4.7 mph (7.5 km/h)
– Test duration 20 seconds
Testing the electric parking brake
Electric parking brake tests on the brake test 
stand must only be performed with the ignition 
switched on and with the manual gearshift lever in 
neutral or the Porsche Doppelkupplung selector 
lever in position  N.
The vehicle switches auto matically to brake test 
stand mode, in which the electric parking brake 
can be tested.
The message “Electric parking brake in service 
mode” appears on the multi-function display in the 
instrument panel.

Checking Coolant Level and 
Adding CoolantThe coolant provides year-round protection 
from corrosion and freezing down to –31 °F
(–35 °C) (–40 °F (–40 °C) in Nordic countries).
Observe the following points:
fUse only antifreeze authorised by Porsche.
f Check the coolant level regularly.Coolant levelWhen the  engine is cold  and the vehicle is level, 
the red display must be  under the arrow between 
the minus and plus markings.
f Add coolant if necessary.
The maximum fill level is  reached when the red 
display is under the plus marking.
f Please see the chapter “OVERVIEW OF 
WARNING MESSAGES” on page 152.
f Please see the chapter “EXERCISE EXTREME 
CAUTION WHEN WORKING ON YOUR VEHICLE” 
on page 252. Checking when engine is cold
1. Open cap on the reservoir carefully and 
allow any overpressure to escape.
Then unscrew cap completely.
2. Read off the engine coolant level.
3. Top up with coolant if necessary. Do not top up over the plus marking.
Only add a mixture of antifreeze and water 
in equal parts.
Antifreeze in coolant:
50 % provides antifreeze protection 
down to –31 °F (–35 °C).
4. Screw the cap on the reservoir closed until  it locks securely. Checking the coolant level when a warning 
message appears on the multi-function 
display in the instrument panel
 Warning!
Danger of serious personal injury or death 
from scalding. Coolant is hazardous to your 
health, and may be fatal if swallowed.
f Do not open the cap of the expansion tank 
while the engine is hot.
f Allow the engine to cool down before opening 
the cap and protect your hands, arms and face 
from any possible escape of hot coolant.
f Keep coolant out of children's reach.
f Also, keep coolant away  from your pets. They 
can be attracted to it should there be a spill, or 
to used coolant left in an open container. Coolant can be deadly  to pets if consumed.

Radiator fansThe radiators and radiator fans are in the front 
of the vehicle.
 Warning!
Risk of injury.
The fans can start running when a certain 
temperature is reached, even with the 
engine switched off.
f Exercise extreme care when working close to 
the radiator fans and make sure the engine is switched off.
Brake FluidRegular checking of the brake fluid is part of 
servicing.
The fluid level should always be between the 
MIN and MAX markings.
A slight decrease in the fluid level due to wear 
and automatic readjustment of the disc brakes 
is normal.
However, if the fluid level falls significantly or 
goes below the MIN marking, the brake system 
may have developed a leak.
