Dear Porsche Owner,
A lot has gone into the manufacture of your Porsche sports car, including advanced engineering, rigid quality control and demanding inspections. These engineering and safety features will be enhanced by you…
the safe driver…
– who knows her/his car and all controls,– who maintains the vehicle properly,– who uses driving skills wisely and always drives within her/his own capabilities and the level of familiarity with the vehicle.
You will find helpful hints in this manual on how to perform most of the checks listed on the following pages. If in doubt, have these checks performed by your authorized Porsche dealer.
Before driving off…
Check the following items first
fTurn the engine off before you attempt any checks or repairs on the vehicle.fBe sure the tires are inflated correctly. Check tires for damage and tire wear.fSee that wheel bolts are properly tightened and not loose or missing.fCheck engine oil level, add if necessary. Make it a habit to check the engine oil with every refueling.fCheck all fluid levels such as windshield washer and brake fluid levels.
fBe sure the vehicle battery is well charged and cranks the engine properly.fCheck all doors and lids for proper operation and latch them properly.fCheck and if necessary replace worn or cracked wiper blades.fSee that all windows are clear and unobstructed.fCheck air intake slots and area between luggage compartment lid and windshield. Ensure that these areas are free of snow and ice, so the heater and the windshield wipers work properly.fIf a child will be riding in the vehicle, check child seat/child seat restraint system to ensure that restraints are properly adjusted.fCheck all exterior and interior lights for operation and that the lenses are clean.fCheck the headlights for proper aim, and if necessary, have them adjusted.fCheck under the vehicle for leaks.fBe sure all luggage is stowed securely.
Emergency equipment
It is good practice to carry emergency equipment in your vehicle. Some of the items you should have are: window scraper, snow brush, container or bag of sand or salt, emergency light, small shovel, first-aid kit, etc.
In the driver’s seat…
fCheck operation of the horn.fPosition seat for easy reach of foot pedals and controls. To reduce the possibility of injury from the air bag deployment, you should always sit back as far from the steering wheel as is practical, while still maintaining full vehicle control.fAdjust the inside and outside rear view mirrors.fBuckle your safety belts.fCheck operation of the foot and electric parking brake.fCheck all warning and indicator lights with ignition on and engine not running.fStart engine and check all warning displays for warning symbols.fNever leave an idling car unattended.fLock doors from inside, especially with children in the car to prevent inadvertent opening of doors from inside or outside.Drive with doors locked.

Information
If the warning light and warning message appear when driving: fStop immediately in a suitable place.fDo not continue driving.Please contact an authorized Porsche dealer.
For information on warning messages on the multi- function display: fPlease see the chapter “OVERVIEW OF WARNING AND INFORMATION MESSAGES” on page 129.
Electromechanical Power Steering
When the engine is stopped (e.g. when on tow), no power steering assistance is available.Increased force is required for steering.fExercise extreme care when your vehicle is being towed.fHave the fault corrected. Please contact an authorized Porsche dealer.
Changing Air Cleaner
Regular replacement of the filter element is part of servicing.fIn dusty conditions, clean the filter element more frequently and replace it if necessary.fPlease see the chapter “MEASUREMENTS ON TEST STANDS” on page 241.
Changing Particle Filters
Regular replacement of the filters is part of servicing.
Dirty filters can be the cause of reduced air throughput, e.g. the windows can mist up.fHave the filters replaced.Please contact an authorized Porsche dealer.
Information
The particle filters ensure that the fresh air entering the passenger compartment is virtually free of dust and pollen.fIf the outside air is polluted by exhaust fumes, press the recirculated-air button.
Tires and Wheels
The original equipment tires and wheel rims on your Porsche comply with all applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.
Information
The summer tires of your Sports Car have been specially developed and adapted for high performance.The tire characteristics change at low outside temperatures (below 15 °C).This can result in noises when parking or maneuvering at low outside temperatures.
For your safety remember the following:
– Wheel rims and wheel bolts are matched to fit your Porsche.– If you intend to use other than original equipment wheels, be sure that they conform to Porsche specifications for your model. Only tires with the same make and with the same specification code (e.g. “N0”, “N1”...) can be mounted.– The use of wheel rims and wheel bolts that do not meet specifications of the original factory installed equipment will affect the safe operation of your vehicle and affect warranty coverage.– Before you plan on exchanging wheels, or snow tires already mounted on the wheel rims, consult your authorized Porsche dealer. Your dealer has the technical information necessary to advise you which wheel rims and wheel bolts are compatible with the original factory installations.

Wheel alignment, wheel balancing
As a precaution, have wheels with summer tires balanced in the spring, and those with mud and snow tires before winter. Unbalanced wheels may affect car handling and tire life.Only the specified weights may be used for wheel balancing.
Self-adhesive weights must not come into contact with cleaning agents, since they could drop off.Uneven tread wear indicates wheel imbalance. In this event, the vehicle should be checked at an authorized Porsche dealer.
If, during a trip, uneven running or vibrations occur that could be caused by damage to tires or the car, the speed must be reduced immediately, but without braking sharply. If you continue your trip without having the cause of the fault remedied, you might lose control of your vehicle.fStop the vehicle and check the tires.fIf no cause for the fault can be found, drive carefully to the nearest authorized Porsche dealer.
The summer tires of your Sports Car have been specially developed and adapted for high performance. At low outside temperatures (<15°C (60°F)), the tire characteristics change. This can result in noises occurring when parking or maneuvering at low outside temperatures.
Wheels with Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) sensors
Before changing wheels, make sure that the wheels are compatible with your vehicle’s TPMS.fCheck this with your authorized Porsche dealer.
Removing and storing tires
fAfter changing, adjust tire pressure and torque wheel bolts diagonally. Please see the chapter “CHANGING WHEELS” on page 254.fStore tires in a cool and dry place. Rotate periodically to avoid flat spots.fDo not store summer tires or park vehicles fitted with summer tires at ambient temperatures below 5 °F (-15 °C).fAvoid contact with fuel, oil and grease.
Tires must always remain on the same side of the vehicle.When wheels are removed, the direction of rotation and position of each wheel should be marked.
Example
FR (front right), FL, RR and RL.
Wheels must always be fitted in accordance with their marking.
The perception that tire durability and performance are not affected by storage and age is unfounded. Chemical additives, which make the rubber elastic, lose their effectiveness over the course of time and the rubber becomes brittle and cracks.
Therefore, the tires should be inspected from time to time.
Information
Under no circumstances should tires older than 6 years be used on your Porsche.
The age of the tire can be obtained from the “DOT” code number. If, for example, the last four numbers read 1213, then the tire was produced in the 12th week of 2013.
Snow tires
The installation of Porsche approved snow tires is recommended.
Use Porsche approved snow tires for grip on snow and ice. Summer performance tires are not suitable for usage in cold, snowy, or icy conditions.Check with your local Motor Vehicle Bureau for possible restrictions.

fBefore you change a wheel, be sure the ground is level and firm. If necessary, use a board under the jack to ensure that the jack does not sink into the ground.fSet the electric parking brake and block the wheels opposite the flat tire on the other side of the vehicle.fThe jack is only to be used for changing a wheel. Do not use it as a support to work under the car.fThe car must be jacked up only at the illustrated jacking points. Lifting at any other place may result in personal injury.
Risk of damage to the engine or vehicle if you lift the vehicle improperly.fThe car must be jacked up only at the illustrated jacking points. Lifting at any other place may result in damage to the vehicle.fNever jack up the car by the body, bumpers, engine, transmission or at the axles.fDo not damage any sensitive components in the vicinity of the jacking points.fFor safety reasons do not use tire inflating bot-tles. Do not use commercially available sealant bottles. Use only the tire inflating bottle located in the luggage compartment.
Information
The tools required for changing a wheel (e.g. jack, wheel bolt wrench, assembly aids) are not supplied as standard with the vehicle. Your authorized Porsche dealer will be pleased to advise you.
Information
The tire and wheel sizes on both axles are different.fDo not fit the wrong wheels on the wrong axle.fOnly use wheels/tires with approved dimensions for the relevant axle.
Sequence of operation
The jack must be used only to raise the car for wheel changing. The jack must never be used as a support to work underneath the vehicle. If the jack is accidentally dislodged, you or bystanders could suffer severe personal injury.fNever jack up other vehicles or other loads with the jack.fAlways place the car on stable supports if you have to work under it. When working under the vehicle, always use safety stands specifically designed for this purpose.
fPlease use a suitable knee rest to protect your clothing against soiling.1. Activate the electric parking brake and move the PDK selector lever to position P. Remove the ignition key or control unit on vehicles with Porsche Entry & Drive.2. Switch on the emergency flasher if necessary.
3. Secure the vehicle to prevent it from rolling away, e.g. by means of wedges under the wheels on the opposite side.This is particularly important on slopes.4. Slightly loosen the wheel bolts on the wheel to be changed.5. Lift the vehicle only at the specified jacking points.6. Raise the vehicle until the wheel lifts off the ground. fPlease see the chapter “RAISING THE VEHICLE WITH A LIFTING PLATFORM, TROLLEY JACK OR STANDARD JACK” on page 254.7.
