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.
