Dear Owner,
Thank you for choosing a Porsche 911 Turbo. No other car embodies such a unique blend of legendary heritage and cutting edge innovation.
For maximum safety and pleasure, we encourage you to read the Owner´s Manual and take time to familiarize yourself with the operation of your Porsche vehicle before you drive it.
Always drive within your own unique capabilities as a driver and ensure that anyone else driving your Porsche vehicle does the same. To prevent or minimize injury, always use your safety belts and always lawfully operate your Porsche vehicle.
Always keep your Owner´s Manual in the car. If you sell your Porsche vehicle, pass the Owner´s Manual and other operation manuals on to the new owner.
Should you have any questions regarding the operation or maintenance of your vehicle, please call 1-800-PORSCHE or contact your authorized Porsche dealership.
A separate Maintenance Booklet explains how you can keep your Porsche in top driving condition by having it serviced regularly. A separate Warranty and Customer Information Booklet contains detailed information about the warranties covering your Porsche.
For U.S. only:
If you believe that your vehicle has a fault which could cause a crash, injury or death, you should immediately inform the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying Porsche Cars North America, Inc. (Porsche Cars N.A.).
If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and if it finds that a safety problem exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign. However, NHTSA cannot become involved in individual problems between you and your dealer, or Porsche Cars N.A..
To contact NHTSA, you may call the Vehicle Safety Hotline toll-free at
1–888–327–4236 (TTY: 1–800–424–9153);
go to
http://www.safercar.gov;
or write to:
Administrator, NHTSA, 1200 New Jersey Ave, SE, Washington, DC 20590.
You can also obtain other information about motor vehicle safety from http://www.safercar.gov.
Your car has thousands of parts and components which have been designed and manufactured in accordance with Porsche’s high standards of engineering quality and safety.
Any alteration of the vehicle may negate or interfere with those safety features built into the vehicle. Modifications may be carried out on your vehicle only if approved by Porsche.Your Porsche is intended to be used in a safe manner obeying the local traffic laws and in the light of driving conditions faced by you, and in accordance with the instructions provided in this Owner’s Manual. fDo not misuse your Porsche by ignoring those laws and driving conditions, or by ignoring the instructions in this manual. fDo not alter your Porsche. Any alteration could create dangerous conditions or defeat safety engineering features built into your car.
Risk of damage to the engine due to inadequate supply of oil.
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. However, the resulting transverse acceleration values would jeopardize the adequate supply of oil to the engine. Porsche therefore will not accept any warranty or accept any liability for damage occurring as a result of non-compliance with this provision.fDo not fit racing tires (e.g. slicks) for sporting events on your vehicle.

40 Seats, Mirrors and Steering Wheel
The inflation process generates the amount of gas required to fill the airbags at the necessary pressure in fractions of a second.
Airbags help to protect the head and body, while simultaneously damping the motion of the driver and passenger in the impact direction in the event of a frontal impact or side impact.
In order to help provide protection in severe collisions which can cause death and serious injury, airbags must inflate extremely rapidly. Such high speed inflation has a negative but unavoidable side effect, which is that it can and does cause injuries, including facial and arm abrasions, bruising and broken bones. You can help minimize such injuries by always wearing your safety belts.
There are many types of accidents in which airbags are not expected to deploy. These include accidents where the airbags would provide no benefit, such as a rear impact against your vehicle. Other accidents where the airbags are designed not to deploy are those where the risk of injury from the airbag deployment could exceed any protective benefits, such as in low speed accidents or higher speed accidents where the vehicle decelerates over a longer time. Since airbag deployment does not occur in all accidents, this further emphasizes the need for you and your passengers to always wear safety belts.
Your Porsche vehicle is equipped with electronically controlled systems that help to ensure your vehicle operates properly. These systems monitor the operation of various systems and electronically store information that is useful to service technicians when they need to diagnose and repair these systems.
Your vehicle is equipped with crash-sensing and diagnostic devices that may record information at the time of a collision, including whether the airbag and seatbelt pretensioners deployed and whether the safety belt was in use.
To retrieve this information, special equipment is needed and access to the vehicle or feature that stores that data is required. Some states only allow access to such information under restricted circumstances, including: – In response to a request of police or other government office; or – with the consent of the registered owner, or if the vehicle is leased, with the lessee, or – through a discovery process in litigation; or as otherwise permitted or required by law.
Your rights with respect to the information discussed above may vary from state to state. Check your state law for further information.
Advanced airbag
Your vehicle is equipped with occupant sensing for the passenger's seat in accordance with U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 208. Depending on the weight, body positioning and shape acting on the passenger's seat, the passenger’s airbag will automatically be switched on and off.
Depending on the angle and force of impact, the passenger's airbag which is switched-on will be triggered during a collision.
Precondition for switching the passenger's airbag on and off, depending on weight, body positioning and shape:– Ignition is switched on.
Improper seating can unintentionally impair operation of occupant sensing of the passenger’s airbag.
If the weight of an adult on the passenger's seat is not properly maintained, the passenger's airbag may be switched off.fSelect an upright seat position, and do not support weight on the armrests or center console, or lean out of the window while driving. Always keep feet positioned on the floor in the footwell while driving. Do not put feet on the dashboard or the seat area.
