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
