Operating Your Porsche in other
Countries
Government regulations in the United States and Canada require that automobiles meet specific emission regulations and safety standards. Therefore, cars built for the U.S. and Canada differ from vehicles sold in other countries.
If you plan to take your Porsche outside the continental limits of the United States or Canada, there is the possibility that:– Unleaded fuel may not be available,– Unleaded fuel may have a considerably lower octane rating. Excessive engine knock and serious damage to both engine and catalytic converters could result,– Service may be inadequate due to lack of proper service facilities, tools or diagnostic equipment,– Replacement parts may not be available or very difficult to get.
Porsche cannot be responsible for the mechanical damage that could result because of inadequate fuel, service or parts availability.
If you purchased your Porsche abroad and want to bring it back home, be sure to find out about shipping and forwarding requirements, as well as current import and customs regulations.
Fuel
When the ignition is on, the fuel level is displayed on the instrument panel.fPlease see the chapter “FUEL GAUGE” on page 90.
fFire, open flame and smoking are prohibited when handling fuel.
Fuel and fuel vapors are hazardous to health.fAvoid contact with skin or clothing, since injury to your skin may occur.fDo not inhale fuel vapors, since they may make you ill and possibly cause death if inhalation is prolonged and occurs in a closed space.
To prevent damage to the emission control system and engine:fNever drive the tank dry.fAvoid high cornering speeds after the warning lights have come on.
fPlease see the chapter “FUEL ECONOMY” on page 226.
Check engine warning light
If the warning lights in the instrument panel come on and remain on while driving, it suggests: – a potential engine control problem and the need for system service or – an improperly fastened tank cap or

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.
