Maintenance note
fPeriodically clean the wiper blades with a
window cleaner, especially after the vehicle
has been washed in a car wash.
We recommend 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 be adhering to the
windshield.
These wax residues can be removed using a
window cleaner concentrate.
Please observe the chapter “WASHER FLUID”
on Page 192.
Please contact your authorized Porsche dealer
for further information.
– The wiper blades may be damaged.
fReplace damaged wiper blades as soon as
possible.
Rear Wiper6 – Rear window wiper - intermittent
operation
fMove wiper lever forward to the first click.
The rear window wiper wipes at preset inter-
vals.
The rear wiper is automatically switched off when
a speed of 130 mph (210 km/h) is exceeded.
It is switched on again when the speed falls below
118 mph (190 km/h).fOn vehicles with the Sport Chrono Plus pa-
ckage, further rear wiper functions can be se-
lected via the PCM.
Please observe the chapter ”Individual Memo-
ry“ in the separate PCM operating instructions.

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.
