Lights, Turn Signals and Windshield Wipers
113
5 – Front windshield wipers and washer
system
fPull wiper stalk towards the steering wheel.
The washer system sprays and wipes while the
lever is pulled towards the steering wheel.
When the wiper lever is released, a few wipes
are executed.
Headlight washer (on vehicles with Bi-Xe-
non headlights):
The washer sprays only while low beam or high
beam is switched on.
To activate the headlight washer system, the
wiper lever must be pulled for a longer period
of time.
The headlight washer can be re-activated at
the earliest after five washing cycles.
The spray duration is limited.
Maintenance Note
fIf heavily soiled, repeat wash.
fPersistent dirt (e.g. insect remains) should be
regularly removed.
Please see the chapter “CAR CARE
INSTRUCTIONS” on Page 270.
The front windshield washer nozzles are
heated when the ignition is on, as a precaution
against freezing. However, this does not replace
the use of antifreeze.6 – Rear window wiper – intermittent
operation
fMove wiper stalk forwards to the first click.
The rear window wiper wipes at preset
intervals.
7 – Rear window wiper – one-touch
operation
fPush wiper stalk forward briefly. The washer
system sprays and the rear window wiper goes
through three wipe cycles.
Rear window wiper and washer system
fPush wiper stalk forwards as far as it will go.
The washer system sprays and wipes while the
lever is pulled away from the steering wheel.
When the wiper lever is released, a few drying
wipes are executed.Maintenance Note
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.
In the event of heavy soiling (e.g. insect
residue), the blades can be cleaned with a
sponge or a cloth.
If the wiper blades rub or squeak, this may have
the following causes:
– 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.
fPlease 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.
