Tow-starting, towing

Reduced driving program

To assure efficient operation of the Emission Control System: f Have your vehicle maintained properly and in accordance with the recommendations described in your Maintenance Booklet. Lack of proper maintenance, as well as improper use of the vehicle, will impair the function of the emission control system and could lead to damage. f Do not alter or remove any component of the emission control system. f Do not alter or remove any device, such as heat shields, switches, ignition wires, valves, etc., which are designed to protect your vehicles emission control system. In addition to serious engine damage, this can result in a fire if excess raw fuel reaches the exhaust system. f Do not continue to operate your vehicle if you detect engine misfire or other unusual operating conditions.
Warning! Danger of fire resulting in serious personal injury or death. f Do not park or operate the vehicle in areas where the hot exhaust system may come in contact with dry grass, brush, fuel spill or other flammable material. f If your car catches on fire for any reason, call the fire department. Do not endanger your life by attempting to put out the fire.

Undercoating

Danger! Danger of fire resulting in serious personal injury or death. f Do not apply additional undercoating or rustproofing on or near the exhaust manifold, exhaust pipes, catalytic converters or heat shields. During driving the substance used for undercoating could overheat and ignite.
How Emission Control Works
When an automobile engine is running, it uses energy generated through the combustion of a mixture of air and fuel. Depending on whether a car is driven fast or slowly or whether the engine is cold or hot, some of the fuel (hydrocarbons) may not be burned completely, but may be discharged into the engine crankcase or exhaust system. Additonal hydrocarbons may enter the atmosphere through evaporation of fuel from the fuel tank. These hydrocarbons (HC), when released into the air, contribute to undesirable pollution. In addition, carbon monoxide (CO) and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) contribute to engine emissions. They, too, are formed during the combustion process and discharged into the exhaust system. To reduce these pollutants, your Porsche is equipped with a precisely calibrated fuel injection system to assure a finely balanced air/fuel mixture under all operating conditions.

Leather

Characteristics and special features The natural surface markings of leather, e.g. creases, healed scars, insect sting marks, structural differences and slight variations in shade and grain add to the attractiveness of the natural leather product.
Observe the following care instructions: Caution! The leather will be damaged by the use of unsuitable cleaning and care agents and by incorrect treatment. f Do not use caustic cleaners or hard cleaning aids. f Perforated leather must under no circumstances get wet on its reverse side. f Clean all types of leather regularly to remove fine dust using a soft, damp, white woollen cloth or a commercially available microfibre cloth. f Remove heavy contamination with a leather cleaner. Always read the instructions for use given on the containers. We recommend Porsche leather cleaner. f Treat cleaned leather only with a leather care product. We recommend the Porsche leather care product.

Cleaning airbags covers

Danger! There is a danger of serious personal injury or death if the airbag system is impaired by improper cleaning work. f Do not make any modifications whatsoever on individual components such as the padded covers of the steering wheel, passenger side instrument panel, the front seats and the door linings. f Let your authorized Porsche dealer clean these components.
f Secure the floor-mat to prevent it from sliding into positions that could interfere with the safe operation of your vehicle - do not install them loosely in the vehicle. Your Porsche dealer will be glad to offer you nonskid floor-mats of the correct size. Cleaning fabric linings f Fabric linings on pillars, convertible top liner and sun blinds, etc. must be cleaned only using suitable cleaning agents or a suitable dry foam and a soft brush.

Alcantara

f Do not use a leather care product to clean Alcantara. For regular care it is sufficient to clean the cover with a soft brush. Heavy abrasion or rubbing when cleaning causes a lasting change in the surface. Cleaning when lightly soiled f Wet a soft cloth with water or a neutral soap solution and wipe off the dirt. Cleaning when heavily soiled f Wet a soft cloth with lukewarm water or thinned white spirit and dab the dirt from the outside in. Cleaning safety belts Maintenance, Car Care

f Never let air out of hot tires. This could cause the tire pressure to fall below the prescribed value. Insufficient tire filling pressure can cause tires to overheat and thus be damaged even invisibly. Hidden tire damage is not eliminated by subsequently correcting the tire pressure. Overloading Danger! Risk of damage to vehicle parts, loss of control and serious personal injury or death. f Do not overload your vehicle. Be careful about the roof load. f If loading the vehicle also correct the tire pressure. Tire pressure for loaded vehicle can be found on the tire pressure plate and in the chapter technical data. f Never exceed the specified axle load. Overloading can shorten the service life of the tires and car, as well as lead to dangerous vehicle reactions and long braking distances. Damage due to overloading is not covered by the vehicle warranty. f Please see the chapter LOADING INFORMATION on Page 234. f Please see the chapter TIRE PRESSURE FOR COLD TIRES (68 F/20 C) on Page 277.
Example of a tire pressure plate

Information on the tire pressure plate A Seating capacity Maximum number of vehicle occupants, including the driver.
B Vehicle load limit Is the maximum total weight limit specified of the load (passengers and cargo) for the vehicle. This is the maximum weight of passengers and cargo that can be loaded into the vehicle. Please see the chapter LOADING INFORMATION on Page 234. C Tire size for the front axle Check with your authorized Porsche dealer about the current release status. D Recommended tire pressure for the front axle These values are for cold tires (68 F/20 C). E Tire size for the rear axle Check with your authorized Porsche dealer about the current release status. F Recommended tire pressure for the rear axle. These values are for cold tires (68 F/20 C). G In vehicles with collapsible spare wheel: Size and tire pressure of the spare wheel.

Tire traction

Warning! When driving on wet or slushy roads, a wedge of water may build up between the tires and the road. This phenomenon is known as hydroplane and may cause partial or complete loss of traction, vehicle control or stopping ability. f Reduce speed on wet surface to prevent this.

Tire wear

The original equipment tires on your Porsche have built-in tire wear indicators. They are molded into the bottom of the tread grooves and will appear as approximately 1/2 in. (12 mm) bands when the tire tread depth is down to 1/16 of an in. (1.6 mm). When the indicators appear in two or more adjacent grooves, it is time to replace the tires. We recommend, however, that you do not let the tires wear down to this extent. Worn tires cannot grip the road surface properly and are even less effective on wet roads. Snow tires lose their traction capability when their tread depth falls below 5/32 in. (4 mm). In the United States, state laws may govern the minimum tread depth permissible. Follow all such laws.

Emergency unlocking of the front luggage compartment lid
