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.
