Warning!
Engine oil is hazardous to your health and
may be fatal if swallowed.
fKeep engine oil out of children's reach.
Used engine oil contains chemicals that have
caused cancer in laboratory animals.
fAlways protect your skin by washing thoroughly with soap and water.
fIf you suspect an oil leak in the engine have
your authorized Porsche dealer check it out
immediately.If the oil level is too low, this is indicated by the oil-
level warning light lighting up on the multi-purpose
display.
fCheck the oil level using the oil dipstick as
soon as possible and add engine oil if neces-
sary.
Note on operation
fIf the engine compartment lid is opened and oil
is not added, the warning message appears
again after approximately 100 km.
Checking the oil level
Warning!
Danger of injury. The radiator fans can start
running as a function of temperature, even
with the engine switched off.
Risk of burning from hot parts in engine com-
partment.
fExercise extreme caution when working on the engine compartment.Conditions for measuring the oil level
correctly
– Vehicle must be level.
– Engine must be switched off and at operating
temperature.
– Before the oil-level measurement, allow the
engine oil to flow back into the oil pan for
around 3 minutes.
Checking oil level with the oil dipstick
1. Withdraw oil dipstick and wipe it with a clean,
lint-free cloth.
2. Push oil dipstick fully home, withdraw again
and read off the oil level.
The oil level must never fall below or
exceed the “Min.” and “Max.” marks on
the dipstick.
The difference between the marks is approx.
1.6 qt. (1.5 liters).
3. Push oil dipstick in as far as the stop.

Topping up Engine OilPorsche recommends .1) Generally you can find specifications relating to
manufacturer approvals on the oil containers or as
a notice displayed by the retailer.
You can also ask your authorized Porsche dealer
for the current approval status.2) SAE viscosity class – Example: SAE 0W - 40
Specification 0W = Viscosity specification for low
temperatures (winter).
Specification 40 = Viscosity specification for high
temperatures.3) For all temperature ranges.4) For temperature ranges above –25 °C.The right oil for your vehicleVehicle Meets

Maintenance and Car Care

Fuel RecommendationsYour Porsche is equipped with catalytic conver-
ters and must use UNLEADED FUEL ONLY.
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 recom-
mends 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.
It is important to observe the regular service inter-
vals, and particularly the oil change intervals, spe-
cified in your Maintenance Schedule.
The use of UNLEADED FUEL ONLY is critically
important to the life of the catalytic
converters. Deposits from leaded fuels will
ruin the converters and make it ineffective
as an emission control device.
Cars with catalytic converters have a smaller fuel
tank opening, and gas station pumps have smaller
nozzles. This will prevent accidental pumping of
leaded fuel into cars with catalytic converters.Unleaded fuels may not be available outside the
continental U.S. and Canada. Therefore, we
recommend you do not take your car to areas or
countries where unleaded fuel may not be
available.
Octane ratingsOctane rating indicates a fuel's ability to resist
detonation. Therefore, buying the correct octane
gas is important to prevent engine “damage”.
The RON octane rating is based on the research
method. The CLC (U.S. Cost of Living Council oc-
tane rating) or AKI (antiknock index) octane rating
usually displayed on U.S. fuel pumps is calculated
as research octane number plus motor octane
number, divided by 2, that is written as:
The CLC or AKI octane rating is usually lower than
the RON rating:
For example: 95 RON corresponds 90 CLC or
“AKI”
fDo not use fuel additives without Porsche
approval.
Fuels containing ethanolfDo 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.

Minor Repairs
Exercise Extreme Caution when
Working on your Vehicle
Danger!
Ignoring the following instructions may cau-
se serious personal injury or death.
fThe engine compartment of any motor vehicle
is a potentially hazardous area. If you are not
fully familiar with proper repair procedures, do
not attempt the adjustments described on the
following pages.
This caution applies to the entire vehicle.
fO n l y w o r k o n y o u r v e h i c l e o u t d o o r s o r i n a w e l l
ventilated area.
fEnsure that there are no open flames in the
area of your vehicle at any time when fuel
fumes might be present. Be especially
cautious of such devices such as hot water
heaters which ignite a flame intermittently.
fBefore working on any part in the engine com-
partment, turn the engine off and let it cool
down sufficiently. Hot engine compartment
components can burn skin on contact.
fBe alert and cautious around engine at all
times while the engine is running.
If you have to work on the engine while it is run-
ning, always put the parking brake on and put
the gearshift lever in neutral or the Tiptronic
selector lever in position P or N.fIn particular, be very careful to ensure that
items of clothing (ties, shirt, sleeves etc.),
jewelry, long hair, hand or fingers cannot get
caught in the engine-compartment blower, fan,
belts or other moving parts.
The radiator and radiator fans are in the front
of the car.
The fans can start or continue running as a
function of temperature, even with the engine
switched off.
Carry out work in these areas only with the
engine off and exercise extreme caution.
fYour Porsche is equipped with an electronic
ignition system. When the ignition is on, high
voltage is present in all wires connected with
the ignition system; therefore, exercise
extreme caution when working on any part of
the engine while the ignition is on or the engine
is running.
fAlways support your car with safety stands if it
is necessary to work under the car. The jack
supplied with the car is not adequate for this
purpose.
For vehicles with air suspension with level
control and height adjustment:
Please see the chapter “RAISING VEHICLE
WITH THE JACK” on Page 192.fWhen working under the car without safety
stands but with the wheels on the ground,
make sure the car is on level ground, the
wheels are blocked, and that the engine can-
not be started.
Remove the ignition key.
fDo not smoke or allow an open flame around
the battery or fuel.
Keep a fire extinguisher close at hand.
fIncomplete or improper servicing may cause
problems in the operation of the car. If in doubt
about any servicing, have it done by your
authorized Porsche dealer.
Improper maintenance during the warranty
period may affect your Porsche warranty
coverage.
fSupplies of fluids, e.g. engine oil, brake fluid or
coolant, are hazardous to your health. Keep
these fluids out of children's reach and dispose
of them in accordance with the appropriate
regulations.
fSome countries require additional tools and
special spare parts to be carried in your vehi-
cle.
Please make enquiries before driving abroad.

TION OF THE DOOR WINDOWS” on Page 90.
6. On vehicles with tire pressure monitoring:
Please see the chapter “SETTING THE TIRE
TYPE AND SIZE” on Page 134.
7. On vehicles with Panorama roof system:
Please see the chapter “SAVE FINAL POSITION
OF THE PANORAMA ROOF SYSTEM” on
Page 99.
Replacing Bulbs
Warning!
Danger of short circuit.
fAlways switch off the relevant consumer when
changing bulbs.
Risk of serious personal injury or death. The
headlights are under high voltage when
installed.
fExercise extreme caution when working in the
area of the headlights.
Risk of damage. Bulbs of a higher wattage
can damage the light housing.
fOnly use the bulbs specified in the bulb chart.
fBulbs must be clean and free from oil, grease
or fingerprints.
fNever touch bulbs with your bare hands.
Use a cloth or soft paper when replacing bulbs.
fAlways carry spare bulbs with you.
In certain countries, the carrying of spare
bulbs is mandatory.
Caution!
Risk of damage to headlights due to exces-
sive temperatures and abrasion.
fAttach no coverings (e.g. films, “stone
guards”) in the area of the headlights.
fUse soapy water only to clean light lenses and
plastic headlight lenses. In no case may chemi-
cal cleaners or other volatile cleaning fluids be
used.
fTo prevent scratches, do not rub with a dry or merely moist cloth, tissue or insect sponges.
