Minor Repairs 243
Information
If pure water is added in an emergency, the mixing ratio will have to be corrected.A significant loss of coolant indicates a leak in the cooling system.fThe cause must be eliminated without delay. Please contact an authorized Porsche dealer.
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.
The engine and adjacent components become very hot when the engine is running.fExercise extreme caution when working in the engine compartment.
Brake Fluid
Regular checking of the brake fluid is part of servicing.
The fluid level should always be between the MIN and MAX markings.
A slight decrease in the fluid level due to wear and automatic readjustment of the disk brakes is normal.However, if the fluid level falls significantly or goes below the MIN marking, the brake system may have developed a leak.fHave the brake system checked immediately. Please contact an authorized Porsche dealer.
Brake fluid is hazardous to your health, and may be fatal if swallowed.fKeep brake fluid out of children's reach.fIf brake fluid gets into your eye, immediately rinse with clean water for a few minutes. Then see a doctor immediately.fPlease note all the information on the refill container of the brake fluid.
Brake fluid attacks and can damage paintwork.fImmediately rinse off spilled brake fluid with clean water.
Changing brake fluid
Brake fluid absorbs moisture from the air over time. The absorbed water can impair braking efficiency.fIt is important therefore to have the brake fluid changed in accordance with the change intervals specified in the “Maintenance” booklet.fUse only brake fluid authorized by Porsche.
Brake warning light USA
Brake warning light Canada
The warning light on the instrument panel and the warning message on the multi-function display alert you to the fact that the brake fluid level is too low and could indicate brake circuit failure if the pedal travel is greater than normal.

Minor Repairs 245
Driving with damaged tires could cause you to lose control of the vehicle.fIf while driving, your vehicle experiences a sudden vibration or ride disturbance, and/or you suspect that possible damage to your tires or vehicle has occurred, you should immediately reduce your speed without excessive use of the brakes.fStop the vehicle as soon as possible, and inspect the tires.If you cannot determine the cause for the disturbance, have your vehicle towed to the nearest Porsche or tire dealer to have your vehicle or tire(s) inspected.fContinuing to operate the vehicle without correction could result in a loss of control.Example
Uniform Tire Quality Grading
Quality grades can be found where applicable on the tire sidewall between tread shoulder and maximum section width.
All passenger car tires must conform to Federal Safety Requirements in addition to these grades.
Treadwear
The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specific government test course. For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and a half (1-1/2) times as well on the government course as a tire graded 100. The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions of their use, however, and may depart significantly from the norm due to variations in driving habits, service practices and differences in road characteristics and climate.
Traction AA, A, B, C
The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B, and C and they represent the tire's ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under controlled conditions on specified government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor traction performance.
Information
The traction grade assigned to this is based on braking (straight-ahead) traction tests and does not include cornering (turned) traction, acceleration, hydroplaning or peak traction characteristics.
Temperature A, B, C
The temperature grades are A (the highest), B and C, representing the tire's resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel.Sustained high temperatures can cause the material of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure.The grade C corresponds to a level of performance which all passenger car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109.Grades B and A represent higher levels of performance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by law.
