serious personal injury or death.
fObserve all warning notes on the battery.
fDisconnect the negative terminal on the
battery during all work on the electrical sys-
tem.
fDo not lay tools or other metal objects on the
battery as they could cause a short circuit
across the battery terminal.
Hydrogen gas generated by the battery
could cause an explosion, resulting in
serious personal injury or death.
fCharge battery in a well vetilated area.
fNever charge a frozen battery. It may explode
because of gas trapped in the ice. Allow a fro-
zen battery to thaw out first.
fDo not expose the battery to an open flame,
electrical spark or a lit cigarette.
Risk of explosion as a result of static charge,
resulting in serious personal injury or death.
fDo not wipe the battery with a dry cloth.
fBefore touching the battery, discharge any
static electricity by touching the vehicle.Risk of serious personal injury or death and
damage to the fabric, metal or paint.
fWear eye protection.
fDo not allow battery acid to come in contact
with your skin, eyes, fabric or painted sur-
faces.
fIf you get electrolyte, which is an acid, in your
eyes or on your skin, immediately rinse with
cold water for several minutes and call a
doctor.
fSpilled electrolyte must be rinsed off at once
with a solution of baking soda and water to
neutralize the acid.
Battery posts, terminals and related acces-
sories contain lead and lead compounds,
chemicals known to the State of California to
cause cancer and reproductive harm.
fAlways protect your skin by washing
thoroughly with soap and water.
The battery is located in the battery box under the
left front seat.
Charge stateA well charged battery will not only prevent
starting problems but will also last longer.
In order to avoid unintended battery
discharge
fSwitch off unnecessary electrical loads in city
traffic, on short trips or in a line of traffic.
fAlways remove the ignition key from the igni-
tion switch when leaving the vehicle or
switch ignition off in vehicles with Porsche
Entry & Drive.
fAvoid using the Porsche Communication
Management system and the audio system
when the engine is not running.
Maintenance Note
In the cold season, in particular, or if you mainly
drive only short distances, it may become neces-
sary to recharge the battery from time to time.
