Power Steering
Warning!
Risk of accident. When the engine is
stationary (e.g. when on tow) or the hydraulic
system fails, there is no assistance for
steering.
Therefore, substantially more force will have
to be exerted in order to steer.
fExercise great care when on tow.
fHave the fault remedied at your nearest authorized Porsche dealer.
Note
The flow noise heard at full steering lock is system
related and does not indicate a defect in the
steering system.
Checking hydraulic fluidThe reservoir is in the engine compartment.
Regular checking of hydraulic fluid is part of
servicing.
fPlease observe the chapter “WORKING IN THE
ENGINE COMPARTMENT” on Page 172.

Fuel qualityYour 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 recommends 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.
