Wiper BladesMaintenance Notes
Wiper blades that are in perfect condition are vital
for a clear view.
fReplace the wiper blades twice per year
(before and after the cold season) or if wiper
performance deteriorates or the blades are
damaged.
fFor important information on “service topics”:
Please see the chapter “CAR CARE
INSTRUCTIONS” on Page 270.
Caution!
Risk of damage if wiper arm accidentally
falls back onto the windshield.
fAlways hold the wiper arm securely when
replacing the wiper blade.
Risk of damage if wiper blades that are
frozen in place are loosened improperly.
fThaw the wiper blades before loosening them.
Risk of damage.
If the wiper blades are not changed properly,
they can come loose when the car is moving.
fCheck whether the wiper blades are seated
securely.
The wiper blade must be pushed onto the wiper arm up to the stop. fPeriodically clean the wiper blades with
window cleaner, especially after the vehicle
has been washed in a car wash.
We recommend the Porsche window cleaner. If
they are very dirty (e.g. with insect remains),
they can be cleaned with a sponge or cloth.
If the wiper blades rub or squeak, this may be as
a result of the following:
– If the vehicle is washed in an automatic car
wash, wax residues may adhere to the wind-
shield. These wax residues can be removed
only by using window cleaner concentrate.
fPlease see the chapter “WASHER FLUID” on
Page 258.
Please contact your authorized Porsche dealer for
further information.
– The wiper blades may be damaged or worn.
fReplace damaged or worn wiper blades as
soon as possible.
Replacing wiper blades at frontfApply the parking brake.
fSwitch the windshield wipers off (wiper stalk in
position 0).
fSwitch ignition off.
1. Fold windshield wiper arm away from the
windshield (arrow 1).

Maintenance and Car Care
Warning!
Moisture which gets on the brakes during a
car wash can reduce braking efficiency or
make the brake pull unevenly which could
increase the danger of an accident, causing
serious personal injuries or death.
fAfter washing the vehicle, test the brakes and
steering and briefly brake the discs dry.
When doing so, make sure that vehicles travel-ling behind you are not affected.
Automatic car washes
fPlease see the chapter “WIPER BLADES” on
Page 261.
Optional add-on parts or parts which project be-
yond the contours of the vehicle may be damaged
by design features (e.g. brushes) of automatic car
washes.The following parts are particularly
susceptible to damage:
– Windshield wipers and rear wiper (always
switch them off – wiper stalk in position0 – to
prevent them wiping unintentionally in intermit-
tent or sensor operation).
– Door mirrors (always fold in).
– External antennas (always unscrew).
– Roof Transport System (always remove com-
pletely).
– Off-road roof-mounted headlights (always
remove completely).
– Spoiler.
– Wheels (the wider the rim and the lower the tire
height, the greater the risk of damage).
fPlease consult the operator before using
automatic car washes.
fWash and dry by hand all points not reached by
a car wash, such as door and lid seams or
door sills.
Note
Automatic car washes spray water at odd angles
and high pressures, which are not seen in normal
driving. Therefore, water can sometimes find its
way into the passengers compartment during or
shortly after the car wash.
