Brake Fluid Level
f
Please observe the chapter “NOTES ON
MAINTENANCE” on page 176.
f Only use genuine Porsche brake fluid or a
brake fluid of similar quality which has been
manufactured according to Porsche specifica-
tions and product requirements.
Warning!
Brake fluid is toxic and attacks paintwork
and other surfaces.
f Store brake fluid out of the reach of children.
f
Take care while topping up brake fluid not to
soil the luggage compartment or items of
luggage.
Checking the brake fluid level
The reservoir for the hydraulic braking system is
located in the luggage compartment.
1. Open and remove cover flap
A
.
2. Regularly check the brake-fluid level on the
transparent expansion tank through the
window B .
The fluid level should always lie between the
minimum and maximum marks.
A slight decrease in the fluid level due to wear and
automatic readjustment of the disc brakes is
normal.
If, however, the fluid level falls markedly or below
the minimum mark, the braking system may have
developed a leak.
f Have the braking system checked without
delay. Consult a qualified specialist workshop.
We recommend a Porsche partner for this
work as they have trained workshop personnel
and the necessary parts and tools.
