220 Maintenance and Car Care
If the vehicle is not secured, or incorrectly secured, during repair work, it could move unexpectedly or fall from the car jack or car lift.fBe alert and cautious around the engine at all times while it is running. If you have to work on the engine while it is running, always apply the electric parking brake and put the PDK selector lever in position P or N.fAlways support your car with safety stands if it is necessary to work under the car. The jack supplied with the car is not adequate for this purpose.Switch off level control of air suspension and height adjustment.Please see the chapter “RAISING THE VEHICLE WITH A LIFTING PLATFORM, TROLLEY JACK OR STANDARD JACK” on page 254.fJack up the vehicle only at the specified jacking points on the underside of the vehicle.fNever start the engine when the vehicle is jacked or lifted up. Vibration from the engine could cause the vehicle to fall.fWhen working under the car without safety stands but with the wheels on the ground, make sure the car is on level ground, the wheels are blocked, and that the engine cannot be started.Withdraw ignition keys (switch ignition off in vehicles that have Porsche Entry & Drive).
Information
fIncomplete or improper servicing may cause problems in the operation of the car. If in doubt about any servicing, have it done by your authorized Porsche dealer.Improper maintenance during the warranty period may affect your Porsche warranty coverage.fSome countries require additional tools and special spare parts to be carried in your vehicle. Please make enquiries before driving abroad.
Technical Modifications
fModifications may be carried out on your vehicle only if approved by Porsche.This ensures that your Porsche will remain reliable and safe to drive, and that it will not be damaged as a result of the modifications.Your authorized Porsche dealer will be pleased to advise you.
Information
fOnly use genuine Porsche spare parts for your vehicle or spare parts of similar quality which have been manufactured according to the specifications and production requirements of Porsche. These parts are available from your authorized Porsche dealer. Safety-related accessories should only be used if they are from the Porsche Tequipment range or are tested and approved by Porsche. Your authorized Porsche dealer will be pleased to advise you and answer any questions you may have.However, the use of other parts or accessories may adversely affect the safety of your vehicle, and Porsche can take no responsibility for any loss or damage caused by their use.Even if the supplier of other accessories or parts is a recognized supplier, the safety of your vehicle may still be affected if such items are installed.Due to the large variety of products offered in the accessory market, it is not possible for Porsche to inspect and approve every one.fIn addition, please note that the use of replacement parts that are not genuine Porsche parts or approved parts, or the use of accessories not approved by Porsche may also detrimentally affect your vehicle warranty.fCheck your vehicle regularly for signs of damage.

Minor Repairs 277
Headlight Adjustment
fCheck tire pressure and adjust if necessary.fPlease see the chapter “TIRE PRESSURE FOR COLD TIRES (68 °F/ 20 °C)” on page 287.fPlease see the chapter “REPLACING BULBS” on page 276.
Adjustment
The adjustment is made with the vehicle ready to drive and the fuel tank completely filled.
The driver's seat must be loaded by a person or a 165 lbs. (75 kg) weight and the tire pressures must meet the prescribed values. After being loaded, the car must be rolled a few meters so that the suspension can settle.
For checking the headlight adjustment, the vertical position of the cutoff of the low beam (see fig.) has to be projected on a vertical screen (wall) in distance of 24.6 ft. (7.5 m) from the front lens of the headlamp. The correct position of the cutoff is 2.0 in. (5 cm) at 24.6 ft. or 7.5 m (0.4°) below a horizontal line, x cm from ground to the center of the headlamp lens.
Lateral adjustment of the headlights should be carried out at an authorized Porsche dealer.
Distance
Visual aim shall be performed at not less than 24.6 ft. (7.5 m) (this value is a rounded down conversion from the 25-foot distance typical of field aim using a screen). The 24.6 ft. (7.5 m) distance is measured from the headlamp lens to the viewing screen.
Floor
The surface upon which the vehicle rests is flat and approximately level.
Screen
The screen upon which headlamp beams are projected is perpendicular to the floor and the vehicle's longitudinal axis, flat, uniformly light in color, unobstructed, and wide and high enough to accommodate the vehicle beam patterns to be aimed.
The screen should be wide enough to provide at least 3.3 ft. (1 m) of space outboard of the vehicle's headlamp spacing.
