Porsche Cayenne 2009 Owner's Manual

1
Dear Owner,
We would like to thank you for your purchase of a Porsche Cayenne. Judging by the car you have chosen, you are a motorist of a special breed, and you are probably no novice when it comes to automobiles.
This Owner's Manual contains a host of useful information. Please take the time to read this manual before you drive your new Porsche. Become familiar with the operation of your Porsche car for maximum safety and operating pleasure. The better you know your Porsche, the more pleasure you will experience driving your new car. Always keep your Owner's Manual in the car, and give it to the new owner if you ever sell your Porsche.
A separate Maintenance Booklet explains how you can keep your Porsche in top driving condition by having it serviced regularly.
A separate Warranty and Customer Informa­tion Booklet contains detailed information about
the warranties covering your Porsche.
For U.S. only:
If you believe that your vehicle has a fault which could cause a crash, injury or death, you should immediately inform the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying Porsche Cars North America, Inc. (Porsche Cars N.A.).
If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and if it finds that a safety problem exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign. However, NHTSA cannot become involved in individual problems between you and your dealer, or Porsche Cars N.A.
To contact NHTSA, you may call the V ehicle Safety Hotline toll-free at 1–888–327–4236 (TTY: 1–800–424–9153); go to http://www.safercar.gov; or write to: Administ­rator, NHTSA, 400 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC 20590. You can also obtain other information about motor vehicle safety from http://www.safercar.gov.
Your car has thousands of parts and components which have been designed and manufactured in accordance with Porsche's high standards of engineering quality and safety.

Setting and operating vehicle compon­ents when driving
Warning!
There is a danger of accident if you set or operate the on-board computer, radio, navigation system, telephone or other equip­ment when driving. This could distract you from the traffic and cause you to lose control of the vehicle.
f Operate the components while driving only if
the traffic situation allows you to do so safely.
f Carry out any complicated operating or setting
procedures only with the vehicle stationary.
Engine Exhaust
Danger!
Engine exhaust is dangerous if inhaled. Engine exhaust fumes have many compo­nents which you can smell. They also contain carbon monoxide (CO), which is a colorless and odorless gas. Carbon monoxide can cause unconscious­ness and even death if inhaled.
f Never start or let the engine run in an en-
closed, unventilated area. It is not recommended to sit in your car for prolonged periods with the engine on and the car not moving.
3
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 To pr event injury, make a point of noting wher e
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 serious burns.
Portable Fuel Containers
Danger!
Portable fuel containers, full or partially empty, may leak, causing an explosion, or result in fire in case of an accident.
f Never carry additional fuel in portable contai-
ners 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.
f When driving off-road, make sure these parts
are not damaged.
f Make sure there is sufficient clearance
between obstacles and the underside of the vehicle.
f Avoid driving through water. f Do not use side member trim as a running
board.
Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB)
f Please see the chapter “BRAKES” on
Page 164.
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.
f Please consult an authorized Porsche dealer
about the current guidelines in effect before such use of your vehicle.
4
Fuel Quality
Your engine is designed to provide optimum performance and fuel economy using unleaded premium fuel with an octane rating of 98 RON (93 CLC or AKI). Porsche therefore recommends the use of these fuels in your vehicle.
Porsche also recognizes that these fuels may not always be available. Be assured that your vehicle will operate properly on unleaded premium fuels with octane numbers of at least 95 RON (90 CLC or AKI), since the engine's “Electronic Octane™ knock control“ will adapt the ignition timing, if necessary.
f Do not use fuel additives without Porsche approval.
Fuels containing ethanol
f Do not use any fuels containing more than 10 percent ethanol by volume. We recommend, however, to change to a different fuel or station if any of the following problems occur with your vehicle: – Deterioration of driveability and performance. – Substantially reduced fuel economy. – Vapor lock and non-start problems, especially at high altitude or at high temperature. – Engine malfunction or stalling.

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
f Turn the engine off before you attempt any
checks or repairs on the vehicle.
f Be sure the tires are inflated correctly.
Check tires for damage and tire wear.
f See that wheel bolts are properly tightened
and not loose or missing.
f Check engine oil level, add if necessary. Make
it a habit to have engine oil checked with every refueling.
f Check all fluid levels such as windshield
washer and brake fluid levels.
f Be sure the vehicle battery is well charged and
cranks the engine properly.
f Check all doors and lids for proper operation
and latch them properly.
f Check and if necessary replace worn or
cracked wiper blades.
f See that all windows are clear and unobst-
ructed.
f Check 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.
f If a child will be riding in the vehicle, check
child seat/child seat restraint system to ensure that restraints are properly adjusted.
f Check all exterior and interior lights for opera-
tion and that the lenses are clean.
f Check 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.
6
In the driver's seat...
f Check operation of the horn. f Position seat for easy reach of foot pedals and
controls.T o 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.
f Adjust 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. f Check all warning and indicator lights with
ignition on and engine not running.
f Start engine and check all warning displays for
warning symbols.
f Never leave an idling car unattended. f Lock 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...
f Never drive after you have consumed alcohol
or drugs.
f Always have your safety belt fastened. f Always drive defensively.
Expect the unexpected.
f Use signals to indicate turns and lane changes. f Turn on headlights at dusk or when the driving
conditions warrant it.
f Always keep a safe distance from the vehicle in
front of you, depending on traffic, road and weather conditions.
f Reduce 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.
f Always observe speed limits and obey road
signs and traffic laws.
f When 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.
f When 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.
f When 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.
f Make 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. f Avoid frequent cold starts with short-distance
driving whenever possible.
f Avoid full throttle starts and abrupt stops. f Do not exceed maximum engine speed of
4,200 rpm (revolutions per minute).
f Do not run a cold engine at high rpm either in
Neutral or in gear.
f Do not let the engine labor, especially when
driving uphill. Shift to the next lower gear in time (use the most favorable rpm range).
f Never lug the engine in high gear at low
speeds. This rule applies at all times, not just during the break-in period.
f Do 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 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.
f Break 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.
f Please see the chapter “ENGINE DATA” on
Page 352.
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.
f Make a habit of checking engine oil with every
refueling, add if necessary.
