Maintenance and Car Care
Cleaning air bag covers
Danger!
Risk of serious or fatal injury from impaired
operation of the air bag system caused by
incorrect cleaning.
f While it is appropriate to use normal surface
cleaning methods on the interior of your
vehicle, do not undertake deep cleaning of air
bag-related components, such as the
padded covers on the steering wheel,
the underside of the instrument panel,
front seats, roof pillars, roof liners and the
rear interior trim panels, and around the
seat backrest.
f Have your authorized Porsche dealer to clean these components.
Cleaning fabric liningsfFabric linings on pillars, roofliner and sun
blinds, etc. must be cleaned only using
suitable cleaning agents or a suitable dry
foam and a soft brush.
Alcantara careDo not use leather care products to
clean Alcantara.
For regular care, it is sufficient to clean the
cover with a soft brush.
Strong abrasion or rubbing when cleaning will
produce a lasting change to the surface.
Cleaning when lightly soiled
f Wet a soft cloth with water or a neutral
soap solution and wipe off the dirt.
Cleaning when heavily soiled
f Wet a soft cloth with lukewarm water or diluted
white spirit and dab the dirt from the outside
in.Cleaning the seat beltsfUse mild detergent to clean soiled belts.
f When drying, avoid direct sunlight.
f Only use suitable cleaning agents.
f Do not tint or bleach the belts.
The belt fabric could be weakened,
thus affecting safety.
Storing your PorscheIf you wish to keep your Porsche off the road for
a lengthy period, we recommend that you contact
your authorized Porsche dealer.
They will be glad to advise you about the
necessary measures, e.g. corrosion prevention,
care, maintenance and storage.
Further important information on laying up your
Porsche can be found in other sections.
fPlease see the chapter “BATTERY” on
page 303.
For information on locking the vehicle when
the battery is disconnected:
f Please see the chapter “NOT ALL VEHICLE
DOORS ARE LOCKED” on page 36.

Plug socket in the storage tray between the front seatsNote
The maximum electrical load of a socket is 20 A,
but only if no other loads are switched on. Do not
exceed 10 A per socket if several loads are
operating simultaneously.
Plug socket in the storage tray between the rear seatsNote on operation
The sockets and thus the connected electrical
accessories function even if the ignition is
switched off or the ignition key is removed.
If the engine is not running and the accessories
are switched on, the vehicle battery will
be discharged.
The power supply is interrupted after 30 minutes
to protect the vehicle battery. The ignition must
then be switched on once in order to switch the
load back on again.
Plug socket in the luggage compartmentPlug sockets in the storage tray of the large
center console in the rear of the vehicle
Two additional plug sockets are located in the
storage tray of the large center console in the rear
of the vehicle, if the re levant vehicle equipment is
fitted.
