California Proposition 65 Warning
Warning!
Engine exhaust, some of its constituents, and certain vehicle components contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
In addition, certain fluids contained in vehicles and certain products of component wear contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Hot Exhaust Pipes
Warning!
Risk of burn injury when standing near or coming into contact with the exhaust pipe.
The exhaust pipe is hot when the vehicle is running and remains hot for some time after the vehicle is turned off.
f
Portable Fuel Containers
Danger!
Portable fuel containers may leak, whether they are full or partially empty. Fuel leaking from a portable container carried in your vehicle could, in case of an accident, cause a fire or explosion, resulting in serious personal injury or death.
fNever carry additional fuel in portable containers in your vehicle.
Vehicles with SportDesign package
Caution!
Risk of damage. On vehicles with SportDesign package, front, rear, and side member trim are painted and located lower on the vehicle. Off-road driving can seriously damage these trim parts.
fWhen driving off-road, make sure these parts are not damaged.
fMake sure there is sufficient clearance between obstacles and the underside of the vehicle.
f Avoid driving through water.
fDo not use side member trim as a running board.
Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB)
fPlease see the chapter “BRAKES” on Page 163.
The high-performance brake system is designed for optimal braking effect at all speeds and temperatures.
Certain speeds, braking forces and ambient conditions (such as temperature and humidity) therefore might cause brake noises.
Wear on the different components and braking system, such as brake pads and brake discs, depends to a great extent on the individual driving style and the conditions of use and therefore cannot be expressed in actual miles on the road.
The values communicated by Porsche are based on normal operation adapted to traffic. Wear increases considerably when the vehicle is driven on race tracks or through an aggressive driving style.
fPlease consult an authorized Porsche dealer about the current guidelines in effect before such use of your vehicle.

Dear Porsche Owner
A 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 first
fTurn 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 unobstructed.
fCheck air intake slots and area between engine 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 operation and that the lenses are clean.
fCheck the headlights for proper aim, and if necessary, have them adjusted.
f Check under the vehicle for leaks.
f Be sure all luggage is stowed securely.
Emergency equipment
It 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.
4
In the driver's seat...
f Check operation of the horn.
fPosition seat for easy reach of foot pedals and controls.To reduce the possibility of injury from the airbag deployment, you should always sit back as far from the steering wheel as is practical, while still maintaining full vehicle control.
fAdjust the headrest so that the upper edge of the headrest is brought to eye level or higher.
f Adjust the inside and outside rear view mirrors. f Buckle your safety belts.
f Check operation of the foot and parking brake.
fCheck all warning and indicator lights with ignition on and engine not running.
fStart engine and check all warning displays for warning symbols.
f Never leave an idling car unattended.
fLock doors from inside, especially with children in the car to prevent inadvertent opening of doors from inside or outside. Drive with doors locked.
On the road...
fNever drive after you have consumed alcohol or drugs.
f Always have your safety belt fastened.
fAlways drive defensively. Expect the unexpected.
f Use signals to indicate turns and lane changes.
fTurn on headlights at dusk or when the driving conditions warrant it.
fAlways keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you, depending on traffic, road and weather conditions.
fReduce speed at night and during inclement weather.
Driving in wet weather requires caution and reduced speeds, particularly on roads with standing water, as the handling characteristics of the vehicle may be impaired due to hydroplaning of the tires.
fAlways observe speed limits and obey road signs and traffic laws.
fWhen tired, get well off the road, stop and take a rest. Turn the engine off. Do not sit in the vehicle with engine idling.
Please see the chapter “ENGINE EXHAUST” on Page 2.
fWhen parked, always put the parking brake on and put the gearshift lever in neutral or the Tiptronic selector lever in position P.
On hills also turn the front wheels toward the curb.
fWhen emergency repairs become necessary, move the vehicle well off the road. Turn on the emergency flasher and use other warning devices to alert other motorists. Do not park or operate the vehicle in areas where the hot exhaust system may come in contact with dry grass, brush, spilled fuel or other flammable material.
fMake it a habit to have the engine oil checked with every refueling.

Break in hints for the first 2,000 miles (3,000 kilometers)
The following tips will be helpful in obtaining optimum performance from your new Porsche.
Despite the most modern, high-precision manufacturing methods, the moving parts must still wear in with each other. This wearing-in occurs mainly in the first 2,000 miles (3,000 km).
Therefore:
f Preferably take longer trips.
fAvoid frequent cold starts with short-distance driving whenever possible.
f Avoid full throttle starts and abrupt stops.
fDo not exceed maximum engine speed of 4,200 rpm (revolutions per minute).
fDo not run a cold engine at high rpm either in Neutral or in gear.
fDo not let the engine labor, especially when driving uphill. Shift to the next lower gear in time (use the most favorable rpm range).
fNever lug the engine in high gear at low speeds. This rule applies at all times, not just during the break-in period.
fDo not participate in motor racing events, sports driving schools, etc. during the first 2,000 miles (3,000 kilometers).
There may be a slight stiffness in the steering, gear-shifting or other controls during the break-in period which will gradually disappear.
Break in brake pads and brake discs
New brake pads and discs have to be “broken in”, and therefore only attain optimal friction when the car has covered several hundred miles or km.
The slightly reduced braking ability must be compensated for by pressing the brake pedal harder. This also applies whenever the brake pads and brake discs are replaced.
New tires
New tires do not have maximum traction. They tend to be slippery.
fBreak in new tires by driving at moderate speeds during the first 60 to 120 miles (100 to 200 km). Longer braking distances must be anticipated.
Engine oil and fuel consumption
During the break-in period oil and fuel consumption may be higher than normal.
fPlease see the chapter “ENGINE DATA” on Page 349.
As always, the rate of oil consumption depends on the quality and viscosity of oil, the speed at which the engine is operated, the climate and road conditions, as well as the amount of dilution and oxidation of the lubricant.
fMake a habit of checking engine oil with every refueling, add if necessary.

14 Opening and Locking
Never invite car theft!
An unlocked car with the key in the ignition lock invites car theft.
A steering wheel lock and a gong alarm are standard equipment in your Porsche. The gong alarm will sound if you open the driver's door while the key is still in the ignition lock. It is your reminder to pull the key out of the ignition lock and to lock the doors.
Warning!
Any uncontrolled movement of the vehicle may result in property damage, serious personal injury or death.
Never leave your vehicle unattended with the key in the ignition lock, especially if children and/or pets are left unattended in the vehicle. They can operate power windows and other controls. If the engine is left running, they may accidentally engage the shift lever. Serious personal injury or death could result from loss of control of the vehicle.
f Always remove the ignition key. f Always set the parking brake.
fLock the doors with the key or with the remote control.
