Maintenance and Car Care 219
Exercise Extreme Caution when
Working on your vehicle
The engine compartment of any motor vehicle is a potentially hazardous area. If you are not fully familiar with proper repair procedures, do not attempt the adjustments described on the following pages.This caution applies to the entire vehicle.
Many vehicle fluids are highly flammable, e. g. fuel, engine and transmission oil. Fuel vapors can cause an explosion. When a battery is being charged, highly explosive gases can develop.fDo not smoke or allow an open flame around the battery or fuel.Pay attention to sparks, e. g. when coming into contact with cables.Keep a fire extinguisher close at hand.fEnsure that there are no open flames in the area of your vehicle at any time when fuel fumes might be present. Be especially cautious of devices such as hot water heaters which ignite a flame intermittently.fOnly work on your vehicle outdoors or in a well ventilated area.
Refill fluids, e. g. engine oil, brake fluid or coolant are hazardous to health (poisonous, irritant, caustic).fKeep these fluids out of children's reach and dispose of them in accordance with the appropriate State, Local and Federal regulations.fOnly work on your vehicle outdoors or in a well ventilated area.
Engine exhaust is dangerous if inhaled. Engine exhaust fumes have many components which you can smell. They also contain carbon monoxide (CO), which is a colorless and odorless gas.Carbon monoxide can cause unconsciousness and even death if inhaled.fOnly work on your vehicle outdoors or in a well ventilated area.
The engine and surrounding components, exhaust system and coolant become very hot when the engine is running.
The coolant reservoir is pressurized. Careless opening of the coolant reservoir can lead to hot coolant suddenly spraying out.
fTake care when working near hot parts of the vehicle, in particular engine parts and parts of the exhaust system.fBefore working in the engine compartment, always switch the engine off and let it cool sufficiently.fAllow the engine to cool down before opening the cap of the coolant reservoir and protect your hands, arms and face from any possible escape of hot coolant.
Take great care to ensure that hands, fingers, articles of clothing (e. g. ties, sleeves, etc.), necklaces or long hair cannot be caught up by the radiator fans, drive belt or other moving parts.
The radiator fans in the front of the vehicle may be operating or unexpectedly start operating when the engine is switched on.fExercise extreme care that parts of the body, articles of clothing or jewelry do not get caught in the radiator fan, drive belt or other moving parts.fCarry out work in these areas only with the engine off and exercise extreme caution.
When the ignition is on, all cables and wires of the ignition system carry a high voltage.fExercise special care when working on the ignition system.

Maintenance and Car Care 221
Radiator fan, engine compartment blowers
The engine-compartment blowers are mounted under the engine compartment lid.After the engine is switched off, the engine compartment temperature is monitored for approx. 30 minutes.During this period, and depending on temperature, the engine-compartment blowers may continue to run or start to run.fCarry out work in this area only with the engine off and exercise extreme caution.
The radiators and radiator fans are in the front of the vehicle.The radiator fans in the front of the vehicle may be operating or unexpectedly start operating when the engine is switched on.fCarry out work in these areas only with the engine switched off.fTake great care to ensure that parts of the body, items of clothing or jewelery cannot be drawn in by the radiator fan, engine-compartment blower, drive belt or other moving parts.
Measurements on test stands
Performance test
Performance tests on roller-type test stands are not approved by Porsche.
Brake tests
Brake tests must be performed only on roller-type test stands.
The following limit values must not be exceeded on roller-type test stands: – Test speed 4.7 mph (7.5 km/h)– Test duration 20 seconds
Testing the electric parking brake
Electric parking brake tests on the brake test stand must only be performed with the ignition switched on and with the Porsche Doppelkupplung selector lever in position N. The vehicle switches automatically to brake test stand mode, in which the electric parking brake can be tested.The message “ Electric parking brake in service mode ” appears on the multi-function display in the instrument panel.
Balancing wheels on the vehicle
During finish balancing of the wheels, the entire vehicle must be lifted and the wheels must be free to turn.
Engine Oil
It is important to perform oil changes regularly in accordance with the intervals specified in your Maintenance Schedule .
Engine oil consumption
It is normal for your engine to consume oil. The rate of oil consumption depends on the quality and viscosity of oil, the speed at which the engine is operated, the climate, road conditions as well
as the amount of dilution and oxidation of the lubricant.
If the vehicle is used for repeated short trips, and consumes a normal amount of oil, the engine oil measurement may not show any drop in the oil level at all, even after 600 miles (1000 km) or more. This is because the oil is gradually becoming diluted with fuel or moisture, making it appear that the oil level has not changed. The diluting ingredients evaporate out when the vehicle is driven at high speeds, as on an expressway, making it then appear that oil is excessively consumed after driving at high speeds.
If the conditions you drive your vehicle in are dusty, humid, or hot, the frequency of the oil change intervals should be greater.
If the vehicle is driven at a high rate of speed, climatic conditions are warm, and the load is high, the oil should be checked more frequently, as driving conditions will determine the rate of oil consumption.– The engine in your vehicle depends on oil to lubricate and cool all of its moving parts. Therefore, the engine oil should be checked regularly and kept at the required level.– Make it a habit to have the engine oil level checked with every refueling.– The oil pressure warning light is not an oil level indicator. The oil pressure warning light indicates serious engine damage may be occurring when lit, if engine rpm is above idle speed.

222 Maintenance and Car Care
Checking Engine Oil Level
fCheck the oil level on the multi-function display at regular intervals before refueling.fPlease see the chapter “DISPLAY AND MEASUREMENT OF THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL” on page 101.
Engine oil is hazardous to your health and may be fatal if swallowed.fKeep engine oil out of children's reach.
Used engine oil contains chemicals that have caused cancer in laboratory animals.fAlways protect your skin by washing thoroughly with soap and water.
If you suspect an oil leak in the engine have your authorized Porsche dealer check it out immediately.
Top-up quantity
The difference between the minimum and maximum marks on the segment display is approx. 1.8 quarts (1.7 liters).fNever add more engine oil than required to reach the maximum mark.
If the oil level is too low, this is indicated by the oil-warning light on the multi-function display.fAdd engine oil immediately.fPlease see the chapter “OVERVIEW OF WARNING AND INFORMATION MESSAGES” on page 129.
Measuring the oil level after topping up engine oil or opening the engine compartment lid
The oil level can be checked after waiting for approx. 1 minute with the vehicle parked on a level surface and the engine at operating temperature.
If the engine compartment lid (Cabriolet convertible-top compartment lid) is opened when the engine is cold (e.g. in order to top up engine oil), the oil level cannot be displayed for a certain time.The message “ No information about oil level available at present ” appears on the multi-function display.fEngine oil should therefore only be topped up with the engine at operating temperature. This ensures short waiting times for the soonest possible oil level display.
Hands, fingers, items of clothing (ties, sleeves, etc.), necklaces or long hair can be drawn in by moving parts, e.g. the engine-compartment blowers, drive belt, etc., when working in the engine compartment.
The engine-compartment blowers are mounted under the engine compartment lid.After the engine is switched off, the engine compartment temperature is monitored for approx. 30 minutes.During this period, and depending on temperature, the engine-compartment blowers may continue to run or start to run.fCarry out work in this area only with the engine off and exercise extreme caution.
Risk of burns from hot parts in the engine compartment.fExercise extreme caution when working in the engine compartment.fPlease see the chapter “MEASUREMENTS ON TEST STANDS” on page 221.
Information
The “Check Engine” warning light may come on if the cap of the oil filler opening is opened while the engine is running.
