Dear Porsche-Owner
A lot has gone into the manufacture of your
Porsche, including advanced engineering,
techniques, rigid quality control and-demanàl
ing inspections. These engineering and safety
features will be enhanced by you..
the safe driver...
who knows his car and all controls,
who maintains his vehicle properly,
who uses his driving skills wisely, and always
drives within his own capabilities and his level
of familiarity with his vehicle.
You will find helpful hints in this manual on
how to perform most of the checks listed on
the following pages. lf in doubt, have these
checks performed by your authorized porsche
dealer.
Before going on a trip...
First things first
. Turn the engine off before you attempt any
checks or repairs of the vehicle.
. Be sure tires are inflated correctly. Check
for damage and tire wear.
. See that wheel bolts are properly tightened
and not loose or missing.
. Check engine oil level, add if necessary.
Make it a habit to have engine oil checkei
with every fuel filling.
. Be sure you have a well charged battery.
. Check brake fluid level. lf too low, have
brake system checked.
. Replenish windshield washer fluid.
. Check if front hood is latched safely.
. Replace worn or cracked wiper blades.
. See that all windows are clear and unob_
structed.
. Keep air intake slots and area between en-
gine hood and windshield free of snow and
ice, so that the heater and the windshield
wipers work properly.
. Check whether all light lenses are clean.
. Be sure all lights are working and head_
lights are aimed correctry,
. Check under vehicle for leaks,
. Be sure all luggage is stowed securey.
Emergency equipment

. When parked, always set the parking
brake. Move gearshift lever to reverse or
first gear. On hills also turn the wheels
toward the curb.
. When emergency repairs become neces-
sary, move the vehicle well off the road.
Turn on 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

Break-in Hints for the first
1.000 miles/1.600 kilometers
There are no specific break-in rules for your
Porsche. However, by taking a few preàau_
tions you can help extend the service iife and
performance of your engine.
During the first 1,000 miles/1 ,600 km. all
working components of the engine adjust to
each other to a certain degree_ Therefore:
Avoid f ull throttle starts and abrupt stops.
Change speeds frequently. Vary the throttle
load.
Do not exceed max. engine speed of 4,500
rpm (revolutions per minute).
Do not run a cold engine at high rpm or in
Neutral.
Do not let the engine labor, especially when
driving uphill. Shift to the next lower gear in
time (use the most favorable rpm ,ange;.
There may be a slight stjffness in the steer_
ing, gearshifting or other controls during the
break-in period which will gradually disap-pear.
Never lug the engine in high gear at low
speeds. This rule applies all the time, not
just during the break-in period.
Breaking-in brake pads
Brake pads do not have maximum braking
efficiency when the car is new. Therefore,
more pedal force is necessary during the first
100 to 150 miles/1 50 to 250 km. This also
applies to replacement brake pads.
Breaking-in new tires
New tires do not have maximum traction.
They tend to be slippery. Break in new tires
by driving at rnoderate speeds during the first
60 to 120 mlles/lOO to 200 km, and longer
braking distances must be anticipated.
Engine Oil Consumption
During the break-in period oil consumption
may be higher than normal.
As always the rate of oil consumption de_
pends on the quality and viscosity of oil, the
speed at which the engine is operated, the
climate, road conditions as well as the
amount of dilution and oxidation of the lubri_
cant.
C-heck engine orl level, add if necessary.
Make it a habit to have engine oil checked
with every fuel filling.
Engine Exhaust
WARNING
. Engine exhaust is dangerous if inhaled.
. Never start or let the engine run in a
closed garage. Never sit in your car for
prolonged periods with the engine on and
the car not moving.
' Although exhaust fumes from the engine
have many components wnicfr you ian
smell, they also contain carbon monoxide,
which is a colorless and odorless gas, i
Carbon monoxide can be r"tài it irr,"r"T" ]
. lf you smell gas fumes in the vehicle,
drive with the windows open to prevent
poisonous exhaust gas from being drawnj
into the vehicle. Have the cause immedi_]
ately located and corrected. j
' Never cany additional fuel containers in
your vehicle. Such containers, full or par_
tially empty, may leak, ."rr" "n "ôlo-
sion, or result in fire in case of a coliision.

aies when the driver's door is closed (even if
the passenger's door is still open).
lf the central locking system should fail, both
doors can still be opened and closed.
The alarm system can be switched on by per-
forming the closing movement three times in
quick succession.

lnertia reel retractor

reel locking mechanism adjusts automatically
to your size and movements as long as the

Rapid deceleration during hard braking or a
collision locks the belt. The belt will also lock
when you drive up or down a steep hill or in a
sharp curve. Otherwise the shoulder belt will
not inhibit your upper body movement.

tinuous slow motion across your chest and
lap.

side of seat. Push down until it securely
locks with an audible click. Pull belt to

Child Restraint Systems
Porsche recommends that all infants and
children be restrained in child restraint sys-
tems at all times while the vehicle is in mo-
tion in accordance with applicable laws.
The use of infant or child restraints is re-
quired by law in all 50 states and the
Canadian provinces. The child restraint sys-
tem should be one that complies with U.S.
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213
and should be secured by a lap belt or the
Iap belt poriion of a lap-shoulder belt. A
statement by the seat manufacturer of com-
pliance with this standard can be found on
the instruction label on the restraint and in
de instruction manual providet with the re-
straint.
When using an infant or child restraint sys-
tem be sure to follow all manufacturer's in-
structions on installation and use.
lnfants and small children should never be
held on the lap, nor should they share a
seat belt with another occupant while the
vehicle is in motion.

Children too big for child restraint systems
should use regular seat belts. A shoulder
belt can be used providing it does not cross
the face or the neck of the child.
For maximum safety and protection, we
recommend that small children travel in the
rear seats.
ïo reduce risk of injury from an inflating air-
bag in an accident, Porsche strongly rec-
ommends the following positioning:
Forward facing child restraint system:
Use in the rear seat or in the passenger
seat only in the rearmost adjusting position.
Rearward facing child restraint system:
Only use in the passenger seat in the rear-
most adjusting position.
WARNING
Child restraint anchorages are designed to
withstand only those loads irnposed by cor-
rectly fitted child restrainls. Under no circum-
stances are they to be used for aduit seat
belts or harnesses.
