232 Maintenance and Car Care
High-pressure cleaning equipment, steam cleaners
Risk of damage as a result of using high-pressure cleaning equipment, steam cleaners or similar.
High-pressure cleaning equipment, steam cleaners or similar can damage the following components:– Convertible top– Tires– Logos, emblems– Painted surfaces– Alternator– Electrical components and plug connections in the engine compartment– ParkAssist sensors– Radar sensor for adaptive cruise control– Reversing camerafAlways read the operating instructions provided by the equipment manufacturer.fAlways cover the lid of the brake fluid reservoir prior to cleaning. Never point the cleaning jet directly at the lid.fWhen cleaning with a flat-jet nozzle or a so-called “dirt blaster”, maintain a minimum distance of 20 in. (50 cm).fNever use high-pressure cleaning equipment or steam cleaners with a round-jet nozzle.A high-pressure cleaning device or steam cleaner fitted with a round nozzle will damage your vehicle. The tires are particularly susceptible to damage.fDo not point the cleaning jet directly at any of the aforementioned components.
Decorative film
Risk of damage due to separation of the decorative film when using high-pressure cleaning equipment, steam cleaners or similar cleaning equipment.fDo not use high-pressure cleaning equipment, steam cleaners, etc. to clean decorative films.
Care of door lock
fTo prevent the door lock from freezing during the cold season, cover the lock barrel with suitable adhesive tape while washing the vehicle.
If the lock still freezes, use an ordinary de-icer. In many cases, a well warmed key can help.fNever use excessive force.
Car washing
The best protection for the vehicle from the damaging effects of the environment is frequent washing and preservation.
The longer road salt, road dust, industrial dust, insect remains, bird excrement, and tree exudations (e.g. resin, pollen), etc. are allowed to remain on the bodywork, the more harmful their effect.
Observe the following points in order to ensure that the vehicle is washed thoroughly without damaging the paintwork: fThe underside of the vehicle should also be thoroughly washed at the end of the gritting season at the latest.fWash your vehicle only at sites provided for this purpose to prevent soot, grease, oil and heavy metals from entering the environment.
fNew cars should be washed carefully with plenty of clear water to protect the new paint work. Dark paint finishes show up the smallest of surface damage (e.g., scratches) more readily than lighter colors. Dark colors are slightly more susceptible to scratching and require particularly careful paint care.Dark paints make even the smallest surface blemishes (scratches) more conspicuous than lighter colors.fDo not wash your Porsche in direct sunlight or when its body is hot.fWhen washing by hand, use a car shampoo, plenty of water, and a soft sponge or washing brush.We recommend Porsche car shampoo.fStart washing the vehicle by thoroughly wetting the paintwork and rinsing the heavy dirt off.fAfter washing the vehicle, rinse it thoroughly with water and rub it dry with chamois-leather.Do not use the same chamois for rubbing dry as you use for cleaning the windshield and windows.
Reduced or uneven braking action may be caused by wet brakes.fAfter washing the vehicle, test the brakes and steering and briefly brake the disks dry.When doing so, make sure that vehicles traveling behind you are not affected.

Maintenance and Car Care 235
Repairing the underbody protection
The underside of your car is durably protected against chemical and mechanical influences.
As it is not possible to exclude the risk of damage to this protective coating in day to day driving, it is advisable to have the underside of the car inspected at certain intervals - preferably before the start of winter and again in spring - and the undercoating restored as necessary.
Your authorized Porsche dealer is familiar with the bodyseal treatment procedures and has the necessary equipment for applying factory approved materials. We recommend that you entrust them with such work and inspections.
Unlike conventional spray oils, undercoating and rust-proofing compounds based on bitumen or wax do not attack the sound-proofing materials applied at the factory.
The exhaust system becomes very hot when the engine is running. Flammable material close to the exhaust system could ignite. Additional undercoating or rust protection agents on or near the exhaust system can become too hot when driving and ignite.fDo not apply additional undercoating or rust-proofing on or near the exhaust manifold, exhaust pipes, catalytic converters or heat shields. During driving the substance used for undercoating could overheat and ignite.
fBefore applying fresh underseal, carefully remove deposits or dirt and grease. Once it has dried, the new undercoating compound forms a tough protective coating which provides efficient rust-proofing of the floor panels and components.
fAlways apply a fresh coating of suitable preservative to unprotect areas after cleaning the underside of the body, the transmission, the engine or carrying out repairs to under-body, engine or transmission components.
Effective rust-proofing is particularly important during the cold weather season. If your car is driven frequently in areas where salt has been spread on the roads, the whole engine compartment should be cleaned thoroughly after the winter to prevent salt from causing any lasting damage. A full under-body wash should also be performed at the same time.
Cleaning headlights, lights, interior and exterior plastic components, adhesive foils, reversing camera and radar sensor for adaptive cruise control
Observe the following points: fUse only clean water and a little dishwashing liquid or interior window cleaner to clean headlights, lights, plastic components and surfaces.Use a soft sponge or a soft, lint-free cloth.fDo not spray water or interior window cleaner directly onto the plastic components in the passenger compartment, but first onto a sponge or cloth. Cleaning agents may, for example, enter controls or switches and cause damage.
Information
An interior window cleaner can also be used to clean plastic surfaces (always read the cleaning instructions on the container).We recommend Porsche interior window cleaner.fGently wipe the surface without applying too much pressure.fDo not clean when dry.
fNever use other chemical cleaners or solvents.fRinse cleaned surfaces with clear water.
Alloy wheels
Metal particles (e.g. brass or copper in brake dust) must not remain too long on alloy wheels.Contact corrosion can cause pitting.
Information
Cleaners with an oxide-removing effect or wrong pH value, as are commonly used for other metals, as well as mechanical tools and products, will damage the oxide layer and are therefore unsuitable.fUse only cleaners for alloy wheels (pH value 9.5). Products with the wrong pH value can destroy the protective layer on the wheels . We recommend Porsche cleaner for alloy rims.fIf possible, wash the wheels every two weeks with a sponge or washing brush. If the wheels are exposed to road salt, grit or industrial dust, weekly cleaning is necessary.fEvery three months, after cleaning, grease the wheels with car wax or an acid-free grease (e.g. Vaseline).Rub the grease in well with a soft cloth.fPlease see the chapter “CLEANING IN CAR WASHES” on page 233.

Maintenance and Car Care 237
Improperly secured floor mats can obstruct pedal travel.fAlways check the movement of the pedals before driving and make sure that they are not obstructed by a floor mat or any other object.fSecure the floor mat to prevent it from sliding into positions that could interfere with the safe operation of your vehicle – do not lay them loosely in the vehicle.Your authorized Porsche dealer will be glad to offer you floor mats of correct size including a securing possibility.
Cleaning airbag covers
Incorrect modifications may damage the airbag system. The airbag may not deploy properly in the event of an accident.fDo not make any modifications whatsoever to individual components, such as the padded covers on the steering wheel, the instrument panel, the underside of the instrument panel, front seats and door panels.fHave your authorized Porsche dealer to clean these components.
Cleaning fabric linings
fFabric 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® care
Do not use leather care products to clean Alcantara®. Alcantara® is a manufactured product. It is not genuine leather or suede.
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
fWet a soft cloth with water or a neutral soap solution and wipe off the dirt.
Cleaning when heavily soiled
fWet a soft cloth with lukewarm water or thinned white spirit and dab the dirt from the outside in.
Cleaning the safety belts
fUse mild detergent to clean soiled belts.fWhen drying, avoid direct sunlight.fOnly use suitable cleaning agents.fDo not tint or bleach the belts.The belt fabric could be weakened, thus affecting safety.
Storing your Porsche
If you intend to store your Porsche for a prolonged period, please consult your authorized Porsche dealer. The staff will be glad to advise you on the most suitable and necessary methods. fClean your vehicle thoroughly inside and outside. The under carriage and chassis components should be free of dirt and salt deposits. fFill up the fuel tank. fChange the oil and oil filter, and run the engine for several minutes. fIncrease the tire pressure to 50 psi/3.5 bar/350 kPa.It is not recommended to lift the vehicle, due to the possibility of corrosion on shock absorber piston shafts.The vehicle should be moved slightly, approximately every four weeks, to prevent flat spot on the tires.
Climate control
The air conditioning system should be in good working condition and fully charged.
