Minor Repairs
Battery carefEnsure that battery is securely mounted.
f Keep terminals and connections clean and
properly tightened. Corrosion can be
prevented by coating the terminals and
connections with petroleum jelly or silicone
spray.
f Ensure that vent caps ar e securely tightened to
prevent spillage.
Checking the electrolyte fluid level
(only on low-maintenance batteries)
Generally, the electrolyte level must be checked
more often in summer than in the winter, and more
often when driving long distances.
f When adding water, use only clean containers.
In no case may alcohol (e.g. window cleaner
residues) be permitted to enter the battery.
f Unscrew and open the filler vent caps of each
cell.
With the car on a level surface, the fluid level
should meet the indicator mark in each cell.
f If necessary, top up with distilled water. Do not
use acid. Only fill up to the mark, otherwise the
electrolyte will overflow when the battery is
being charged and cause damage.
Winter operationDuring the winter months, battery capacity tends
to decrease as temperatures drop. Additionally,
more power is consumed while starting, and the
headlights, heater, rear window defogger, etc.,
are used more frequently.
f Let your Porsche dealer test the battery's
capacity before winter sets in.Vehicle storageIf the car stands for long periods in the garage or
workshop, the doors and lids should be closed.
f Remove the ignition key and, if necessary,
disconnect the battery.
Notes on operation
f When the battery is disconnected, the alarm
system ceases to function.
If the vehicle was locked before the battery
was disconnected, the alarm will be triggered
when the battery is reconnected.
To deactivate the alarm system:
f Lock the vehicle and unlock it again.
Alarm system, central locking
f The status of the central locking and alarm
system is not changed by disconnecting the
battery. Maintenance notes
Even if you put your vehicle out of operation, the
battery still discharges.
The battery will discharge more quickly if your
vehicle is not driven on a daily basis over a
distance of several miles. The more often you
drive your vehicle, and
the longer the distance
driven on each trip, the more opportunity the
vehicle‘s charging system w ill have to recharge the
batteries.
f To preserve its efficiency, charge the battery
about every 6 weeks.
f Check the battery acid level and top off with
distilled water if necessary.
f Store a battery that has been removed in a
dark, cool place, but not subject to freezing.
Minor Repairs
305
Replacing the batteryThe service life of the battery is subject to normal
wear; it depends greatly on care, climatic
conditions, and driving conditions (distances,
loads).
f Only use an original Porsche battery, with the
correct part number, as a replacement. Only
this battery meets the spec ific requirements of
the vehicle.
f Please observe the disposal instructions for
batteries.
Putting vehicle into operationAfter the battery is connected or after a fully
discharged battery is charged, the PSM warning
light lights up on the instrument panel and
a message appears on the multi-function display
in the instrument panel to indicate a fault.
This fault can be corrected with a few
simple steps:
1. Start the engine. To do this, turn the igni tion key or the control
unit (on vehicles with Porsche Entry & Drive)
to ignition lock position 2, twice .
2. With the vehicle stationary, perform a few steering movements to the left and right and
then drive a short distance in a straight line
until the PSM warning light goes out and the
message is erased from the multi-function
display in the instrument panel.
3. If the warnings do not disappear, then:
Drive carefully to the nearest authorized
Porsche dealer to have the fault corrected.
4. After the warnings go out: Stop the vehicle in a suitable place.
5. Store the end position for the power windows. For information on storin
g the end positions for
the power windows:
f Please see the chapter “STORING END
POSITION OF THE DOOR WINDOWS AFTER
CONNECTING THE VEHICLE BATTERY” on
page 88.
6. Teach tires on vehicles with Tire Pressure Monitoring.
For information on teaching the Tire Pressure
Monitoring system:
f Please see the chapter “TIRE PRESSURE
MONITORING (TPM)” on page 127.
7. Store end position on vehicles with a slide/ tilt roof.
For information on storing the end position for the
slide/tilt roof:
f Please see the chapter “STORING END
POSITION OF THE SLIDE/TILT ROOF” on
page 90.

Filling CapacitiesOnly use fluids and fuels approved by Porsche. Your authorized Porsche dealer can advise you.Driving PerformanceThe specifications refer to a vehicle with DIN curb weight witho ut performance-reducing additional equipment (e.g. special tires).
Engine oil change quantity without/with oil filter Approx. 2.17
US gallons (8.2 liters)/approx. 2.38 US gallons (9.0 liters)
Fuel tank Panamera S:
Approx. 80 litres, of which approx. 3.96 US gallons (15 liters) are reserve
Panamera 4S, Panamera Turbo: Approx. 100 litres, including approx. 3.96 US gallons (15 liters)
reserve
Fuel octane rating The engine is designed to provide optimum perf
ormance and fuel consumption if unleaded premium
fuel with 98 RON/88 MON (93 CLC or AKI) is us ed. If unleaded fuels with octane ratings of less than
98 RON/88 MON (93 CLC or AKI) are used, the engine’s knock control automatically adapts the
ignition timing. Porsche recommends that you use fuel with at least 95 RON/85 MON (90 CLC or
AKI) in your vehicle.
