The reduced tire tread depth means that there is an increased risk of aquaplaning on wet roads. fWhen driving on wet or mud-covered roads reduce speed significantly.
Sport tires have a smaller tread depth, and thus can reach their wear limit sooner.It is important to check tire wear frequently to avoid risk of serious personal injury or death from worn tires.fCheck tire wear frequently.
Driving on Race Circuit
(e.g. Sports Driving Schools, Club
Sport Events)
Brake fluid, brake pads and brake disks
Brake fluid absorbs moisture from the air over time. This accumulation of water lowers the boiling point and can impair braking action if the brakes are subjected to high temperatures, such as can occur on race circuits (sports driving school, Club Sport events).
The brake fluid should therefore not be more than 12 months old if the vehicle is driven on race circuits (sports driving school, Club Sport events).fFor more information, see the “ Maintenance” booklet.
Wear on the brake pads and brake disks depends to a great extent on the driving style and driving conditions. Wear on the brake components is increased as a result of high temperatures, such as can occur on race circuits (sports driving school, Club Sport events). fBefore and after driving on race circuits (e.g. sports driving school, Club Sport events), it is important therefore to carry out a professional inspection of the brake pads and brake disks for wear.
Racing tires
The fitting of racing tires (e.g. slicks) for sporting events is not approved by Porsche.Very high cornering speeds can be achieved with racing tires. The resulting transverse acceleration values would jeopardize the adequate supply of oil to the engine.Porsche therefore refuses to accept any guarantee or liability for damage occurring as a result of non-compliance with this provision.
Setting and operating vehicle
components when driving
Setting or operating the multi-function display, radio, navigation system, telephone or other equipment when driving could distract you from the traffic. You could lose control of the vehicle resulting in serious personal injury or death.fOperate the components while driving only if the traffic situation allows you to do so safely.fCarry out any complicated operating or setting procedures only with the vehicle stationary.

Electrical System
In order to avoid damage and faults in electrical or electronic systems, electrical accessories should be installed at an authorized Porsche dealerfUse only accessories approved by Porsche.
Replacing fuses or relays with the engine running or the ignition on could cause electrical shock.fDisconnect the negative terminal on the battery during all work on the electrical system.fPlease see the chapter “BATTERY (12 VOLT)” on page 271.
Relays
Relays should be checked or changed only at an authorized workshop.
Changing fuses
In order to prevent damage to the electrical system due to short circuits and overloads, the individual circuits are protected by fuses.
The fuse boxes are located in the side walls of the driver’s and passenger’s footwell respectively. 1. Switch off the load with the defective fuse. 2. Detach the appropriate plastic cover at the finger hole.3. Remove the relevant fuse (see fuse assignment) from its slot using the yellow plastic gripper A (left fuse box) in order to check it.A blown fuse can be identified by the melted metal strip.4. Replace only with fuses of the same rating. Spare fuses can be found in the left-hand fuse box, next to the yellow plastic gripper.We recommend that you use genuine Porsche fuses for replacement.
Information
If a fuse blows repeatedly, the cause of the fault must be corrected immediately.fPlease contact an authorized Porsche dealer.
