Page: 8 / 127

Dear Porsche-Owner
A lot has gone into the manufacture of your
Porsche, including advanced engineering, tech-
niques, rigid quality control and demanding in-
spections. These engineering and safety fea-
tures will be enhanced by you...
the safe driver...
who knows his car and all controls,
who maintains his vehicle properly,
who uses his driving skills wisely, and always
drives within his own capabilities and his level of
familiarity with his vehicle.
You will find helpful hints in this manual on how
to perform most of the checks listed on the fol-
lowing pages. If in doubt, have these checks
performed by your authorized Porsche dealer.
Throughout this booklet and other Porsche publi-
cations applicable to USA vehicles, left is desig-
nated as the driver's side of the vehicle, and
right as the passenger's side of the vehicle.
Before going on a trip...
First things first
• Turn the engine off before you attempt any
checks or repairs of the vehicle.
• Be sure tires are inflated correctly. Check
tires for damage and tire wear.
• See that wheel bolts are properly tightened
and not loose or missing.
• Check engine oil level, add if necessary. Make
it a habit to have engine oil checked with
every fuel filling.
• Check coolant level to assure sufficient en-
gine cooling.
• Be sure you have a well charged battery.
• Check brake fluid level. If too low, have brake
system checked.
• Replenish windshield washer fluid.
• Check if front hood is latched safely.
• Replace worn or cracked wiper blades.
• See that all windows are clear and unob-
structed.
• Keep air intake slots and area between engine
hood and windshield free of snow and ice, so
that the heater and the windshield wipers
work properly.
• Check whether all light lenses are clean.
• Be sure all lights are working and headlights
are aimed correctly.
• Check under vehicle for leaks.
• Be sure all luggage is stowed securely.
Emergency equipment
It is good practice to carry emergency equip-
ment in your vehicle. Some of the things you
should have are: window scraper, snow brush,
container or bag of sand or salt, emergency
light, small shovel, first-aid kit, etc.
