Driving and Driving Safety 169
Static and fluttering
When the line-of-sight link between a transmitter and vehicle is blocked by large buildings or mountains, the radio sound may be accompanied with static or fluttering because of the characteristic of FM.
In a similar effect, a fluttering noise is sometimes heard when driving along a tree-lined road.
This static and fluttering can be reduced by adjusting the tone control for greater bass response until the disturbance has passed.
Multipath
Because of the reflecting characteristics of FM, direct and reflected signals may reach the antenna at the same time (multipath) and cancel each other out. As a vehicle moves through these electronic dead spots, the listener may hear a momentary flutter or loss of reception.
Station swapping
When two FM stations are close to each other, and an electronic dead spot, such as static or multipath area, interrupts the original signal, sometimes the stronger second signal will be selected automatically until the original one returns. This swapping can also occur as you drive away from the selected station and approach another station of a stronger signal.
Compact disk player
To avoid damage to compact disk player and disks.fUse only compact disks labeled as shown, having no dirt, damage or warpage.
fNever attempt to disassemble or oil any part of the player unit. Do not insert any object other than a disk into the slot. Remember there are no user-serviceable parts inside the compact disk player.fDo not allow the disk to sustain any fingerprints, scrapes or stickers on the surfaces. This may cause poor sound quality.Hold the disk only on the edge or center hole.fWhen not in use, take the disk out of the player, put the disk back into its case and store it away from dust, heat, damp and direct sunlight.Leaving the disk on the dashboard in the sun can damage the disk.fIf the disk gets dirty, clean the disk by wiping the surfaces from the center to the outside in a radial direction with a soft cloth. Do not use a conventional record cleaner or anti-static record preservative. Disk cleaners are available in audio stores.
Car Telephone and Aftermarket Alarms
Important legal and safety information regarding the use of cellular telephones
Some jurisdictions may prohibit the use of cellular telephones while driving a vehicle. Check the laws and regulations on the use of cellular telephones in the areas where you drive.
Looking away from the road or turning your attention away from your driving to operate a cell phone will sooner or later cause an accident. fDo not attempt to operate a hand-held cell phone while you are driving. Safety is more important than a phone call.
fLearn to operate the hands-free phone, if it is available, before you start driving. Then make use of the hands-free phone at all times.
It is essential to observe the telephone manufacturer’s instructions before operating the telephone.
Any portable telephone or radio transmitter which is used in a Porsche must be properly installed in accordance with the technical requirements of Porsche.
The transmission power must not exceed 10 W.
The devices must possess a type approval for your vehicle and have an “e” symbol.
If you should require equipment with transmission power values greater than 10 W, please consult your authorized Porsche dealer for this purpose. They are familiar with the technical requirements for installing devices of this kind.
The antennas for all radios and telephones with a transmitting antenna must be externally mounted.
The improper installation of radios or telephones or use of a radio or telephone with a transmitting antenna inside the car may cause the warning lights to come on.
Improper installation of such equipment can create a discharged battery or excessive current draw from added equipment.

Maintenance and Car Care 219
Exercise Extreme Caution when
Working on your vehicle
The engine compartment of any motor vehicle is a potentially hazardous area. If you are not fully familiar with proper repair procedures, do not attempt the adjustments described on the following pages.This caution applies to the entire vehicle.
Many vehicle fluids are highly flammable, e. g. fuel, engine and transmission oil. Fuel vapors can cause an explosion. When a battery is being charged, highly explosive gases can develop.fDo not smoke or allow an open flame around the battery or fuel.Pay attention to sparks, e. g. when coming into contact with cables.Keep a fire extinguisher close at hand.fEnsure that there are no open flames in the area of your vehicle at any time when fuel fumes might be present. Be especially cautious of devices such as hot water heaters which ignite a flame intermittently.fOnly work on your vehicle outdoors or in a well ventilated area.
Refill fluids, e. g. engine oil, brake fluid or coolant are hazardous to health (poisonous, irritant, caustic).fKeep these fluids out of children's reach and dispose of them in accordance with the appropriate State, Local and Federal regulations.fOnly work on your vehicle outdoors or in a well ventilated area.
Engine exhaust is dangerous if inhaled. Engine exhaust fumes have many components which you can smell. They also contain carbon monoxide (CO), which is a colorless and odorless gas.Carbon monoxide can cause unconsciousness and even death if inhaled.fOnly work on your vehicle outdoors or in a well ventilated area.
The engine and surrounding components, exhaust system and coolant become very hot when the engine is running.
The coolant reservoir is pressurized. Careless opening of the coolant reservoir can lead to hot coolant suddenly spraying out.
fTake care when working near hot parts of the vehicle, in particular engine parts and parts of the exhaust system.fBefore working in the engine compartment, always switch the engine off and let it cool sufficiently.fAllow the engine to cool down before opening the cap of the coolant reservoir and protect your hands, arms and face from any possible escape of hot coolant.
Take great care to ensure that hands, fingers, articles of clothing (e. g. ties, sleeves, etc.), necklaces or long hair cannot be caught up by the radiator fans, drive belt or other moving parts.
The radiator fans in the front of the vehicle may be operating or unexpectedly start operating when the engine is switched on.fExercise extreme care that parts of the body, articles of clothing or jewelry do not get caught in the radiator fan, drive belt or other moving parts.fCarry out work in these areas only with the engine off and exercise extreme caution.
When the ignition is on, all cables and wires of the ignition system carry a high voltage.fExercise special care when working on the ignition system.

Maintenance and Car Care 235
Repairing the underbody protection
The underside of your car is durably protected against chemical and mechanical influences.
As it is not possible to exclude the risk of damage to this protective coating in day to day driving, it is advisable to have the underside of the car inspected at certain intervals - preferably before the start of winter and again in spring - and the undercoating restored as necessary.
Your authorized Porsche dealer is familiar with the bodyseal treatment procedures and has the necessary equipment for applying factory approved materials. We recommend that you entrust them with such work and inspections.
Unlike conventional spray oils, undercoating and rust-proofing compounds based on bitumen or wax do not attack the sound-proofing materials applied at the factory.
The exhaust system becomes very hot when the engine is running. Flammable material close to the exhaust system could ignite. Additional undercoating or rust protection agents on or near the exhaust system can become too hot when driving and ignite.fDo not apply additional undercoating or rust-proofing on or near the exhaust manifold, exhaust pipes, catalytic converters or heat shields. During driving the substance used for undercoating could overheat and ignite.
fBefore applying fresh underseal, carefully remove deposits or dirt and grease. Once it has dried, the new undercoating compound forms a tough protective coating which provides efficient rust-proofing of the floor panels and components.
fAlways apply a fresh coating of suitable preservative to unprotect areas after cleaning the underside of the body, the transmission, the engine or carrying out repairs to under-body, engine or transmission components.
Effective rust-proofing is particularly important during the cold weather season. If your car is driven frequently in areas where salt has been spread on the roads, the whole engine compartment should be cleaned thoroughly after the winter to prevent salt from causing any lasting damage. A full under-body wash should also be performed at the same time.
Cleaning headlights, lights, interior and exterior plastic components, adhesive foils, reversing camera and radar sensor for adaptive cruise control
Observe the following points: fUse only clean water and a little dishwashing liquid or interior window cleaner to clean headlights, lights, plastic components and surfaces.Use a soft sponge or a soft, lint-free cloth.fDo not spray water or interior window cleaner directly onto the plastic components in the passenger compartment, but first onto a sponge or cloth. Cleaning agents may, for example, enter controls or switches and cause damage.
Information
An interior window cleaner can also be used to clean plastic surfaces (always read the cleaning instructions on the container).We recommend Porsche interior window cleaner.fGently wipe the surface without applying too much pressure.fDo not clean when dry.
fNever use other chemical cleaners or solvents.fRinse cleaned surfaces with clear water.
Alloy wheels
Metal particles (e.g. brass or copper in brake dust) must not remain too long on alloy wheels.Contact corrosion can cause pitting.
Information
Cleaners with an oxide-removing effect or wrong pH value, as are commonly used for other metals, as well as mechanical tools and products, will damage the oxide layer and are therefore unsuitable.fUse only cleaners for alloy wheels (pH value 9.5). Products with the wrong pH value can destroy the protective layer on the wheels . We recommend Porsche cleaner for alloy rims.fIf possible, wash the wheels every two weeks with a sponge or washing brush. If the wheels are exposed to road salt, grit or industrial dust, weekly cleaning is necessary.fEvery three months, after cleaning, grease the wheels with car wax or an acid-free grease (e.g. Vaseline).Rub the grease in well with a soft cloth.fPlease see the chapter “CLEANING IN CAR WASHES” on page 233.
